IDBI Bank is not for sale—it is a legacy of nation-building!
Public Sector Banks are pillars of India's economic sovereignty, not commodities to be handed over for private profits.
Privatisation must never come at the cost of national interest, financial inclusion and public trust.
Save IDBI! Save Public Sector Banking!

“सरकार कितने बैंक चलाएगी?” यह सवाल पूछने से पहले यह भी पूछिए कि देश की अर्थव्यवस्था में सरकारी बैंकों का योगदान कितना है। FY 2024-25 में सरकारी बैंकों ने ₹1.78 लाख करोड़ का रिकॉर्ड मुनाफा कमाया। सितंब��� 2025 तक उनका कुल कारोबार ₹261 लाख करोड़ से अधिक था। NPA में भारी गिरावट आई और सरकार को ₹34,990 करोड़ का लाभांश मिला। जब बैंक मुनाफा कमा रहे हैं, अर्थव्यवस्था को मजबूत कर रहे हैं और सरकार की योजनाओं को जमीन पर उतार रहे हैं, तो उन्हें बेचने या उनका विलय करने की जरूरत क्या है?
सरकारी बैंक केवल मुनाफा कमाने वाली संस्थाएं नहीं हैं। वे किसानों, छोटे व्यापारियों, MSMEs, ग्रामीण परिवारों और समाज के कमजोर वर्गों तक बैंकिंग पहुंचाने का माध्यम हैं। जनधन खाते, किसान ऋण, मुद्रा ऋण, सामाजिक सुरक्षा योजनाएं और सरकारी सब्सिडी का लाभ करोड़ों लोगों तक पहुंचाने में इनकी बड़ी भूमिका है। जुलाई 2026 तक देश में 58.63 करोड़ जनधन खाते थे, जिनमें 77.80% ग्रामीण और अर्धशहरी क्षेत्रों में थे।
एक्सप्रेसवे और हाईवे बनाने के लिए सरकार हजारों करोड़ रुपये खर्च करती है, क्योंकि वे देश की आर्थिक प्रगति के लिए जरूरी हैं। फिर ग्रामीण भारत की आर्थिक जीवनरेखा माने जाने वाले सरकारी बैंकों को कुछ पूंजी जुटाने या निजी निवेश आकर्षित करने के नाम पर बेचने का तर्क क्या है? जब ये बैंक सरकार को लाभांश देते हैं, रोजगार पैदा करते हैं और आर्थिक समावेशन को आगे बढ़ाते हैं, तो इन्ह��ं कमजोर करने के बजाय और मजबूत क्यों न किया जाए?
बैंकिंग व्यवस्था में प्रतिस्पर्धा जरूरी है, लेकिन प्रतिस्पर्धा का समाधान सरकारी बैंकों की संख्या घटाना या उनका अंधाधुंध विलय करना नहीं है। छोटे और क्षेत्रीय स्तर पर मजबूत बैंक स्थानीय जरूरतों को बेहतर समझते हैं। बड़े बैंकों के साथ-साथ ऐसे बैंकों का अस्तित्व भी जरूरी है, जो दूरदराज के क्षेत्रों में लोगों की सेवा करते हैं।
सरकार को सरकारी ब���ंकों ��ें पर्याप्त भर्ती करनी चाहिए, कर्मचारियों पर बढ़ते काम के दबाव को कम करना चाहिए, तकनीक और ग्राहक सेवाओं में निवेश बढ़ाना चाहिए तथा ग्रामीण शाखाओं को मजबूत करना चाहिए। सरकारी बैंक देश की आर्थिक व्यवस्था का महत्वपूर्ण हिस्सा हैं। इन्हें बेचने या लगातार विलय करने से पहले इनके सामाजिक योगदान, रोजगार और वित्तीय समावेशन पर पड़ने वाले प्रभावों का गंभीर मूल्यांकन होना चाहिए।
सवाल यह नहीं कि स���कार कितने बैंक चला सकती है। सवाल यह है कि देश को कितने मजबूत सरकारी बैंकों की जरूरत है। बैंकों को बेचने के बजाय मजबूत बनाइए। विलय के बजाय उनकी क्षमता बढ़ाइए। क्योंकि सरकारी बैंक केवल सरकार की संपत्ति नहीं, बल्कि करोड़ों भारतीयों के आर्थिक भरोसे का आधार हैं।

🖤 *BLACK SUNDAY — A PAINFUL REMINDER*
Black Sunday — a deeply tragic and heartbreaking incident that has shaken us to the core.
We have lost two of our colleagues, who were travelling on a Sunday in connection with their official duties. Their untimely demise is not merely a matter of grief; it compels us to reflect on the working conditions and the balance between professional responsibilities and personal life.
5-Day Banking is not merely a demand. It is fundamentally about work-life balance, the well-being of bank employees, family time and a more humane working environment.
Comrades, a mere “RIP” cannot be the end of our responsibility. We have lost colleagues who worked alongside us. Let their memory, and our respect for them, become a source of strength and solidarity.
*Let us therefore dedicate our three-day strike from 28–30 September to the memory of our departed colleagues. Let our unity, discipline and collective action become a meaningful tribute to them.*
Let every colleague stand united.
Let every colleague contribute wholeheartedly to the success of the strike.
Let our collective strength carry our voice forward.
Our unity is our strength.
Our solidarity is our tribute.
Our struggle must continue with determination.
🕯️ A heartfelt tribute to our departed colleagues.
May their souls rest in peace.
Om Shanti Shanti
BLACK SUNDAY | 27 SEPTEMBER 2026
If Sunday banking is being imposed while we continue to demand 5-Day Banking, let our protest be visible and disciplined.
Comrades, wear BLACK tomorrow and stand together in solidarity.
Black is our protest.
Unity is our strength.
#5DayBankingNow is our demand.

Dear Comrades,
The fight for Five-Day Banking must not be seen merely as a struggle for implementation of an agreement that has remained pending for more than 30 months. This is a fight for our existence, our dignity, our families and our fundamental right to a humane working life.
Public Sector Bank employees serve far more customers than our private-sector counterparts. Even with private banks accounting for a substantial share of the banking market, it is overwhelmingly the Public Sector Banks and their employees who carry the burden of Government-sponsored schemes, financial inclusion, social-sector banking and the last-mile delivery of public policy.
We work for institutions owned by the people and for a Government that expects us to reach every citizen. We have never shied away from that responsibility. But those who expect us to serve the nation must also recognise one simple truth:
We are not robots. We are not machines. We are not AI tools. We are human beings.
We have families waiting for us, children who need our time, parents who need our care, and lives beyond targets, reviews, late-night meetings and relentless workplace pressure.
We are not asking for privilege. We are asking for dignity, balance and justice.
The growing culture of excessive working hours, constant pressure and an increasingly toxic work environment cannot become the new normal. Five-Day Banking is one important step towards restoring humanity to our workplaces.
Save the banker. Save the banking family. Respect the commitment already made.
Five-Day Banking is not a luxury.
It is not an unreasonable demand.
It is a just demand whose time has come.
Let us stand together, for ourselves, for our families and for the generations of bankers who will come after us.
Five-Day Banking is For Dignity. For Family. For a Humane Workplace.
March ahead with courage and unity for the three-day strike from 28th to 30th September and make it a resounding success. No fear, no threat and no intimidation can weaken our collective resolve. Officers and employees stand together , we are all strikers in this historic struggle.

FIVE-DAY BANKING: A FAIR AND TIMELY NEED
India’s financial system runs on the commitment of its banking professionals. *During national challenges—from the extraordinary workload during demonetisation to keeping essential banking services operational throughout the COVID-19 pandemic—bank employees stood firmly with the nation.*
They have consistently kept the economy moving when it mattered most.
Today, five-day banking is not merely about an additional day off. It is about modernisation, productivity, work-life balance and recognising the contribution of banking professionals.
*The Indian Banks’ Association submitted the proposal for five-day banking in July 2023. Yet, more than three years later, its implementation is still awaited*.
*We stood with the nation when it needed us most. Now, it is time for the nation to stand with its banking professionals*.
Implement #5dayBanking .
Recognise the contribution.
Respect the commitment.
@aiboc_in@fboioa_india
You ask bankers to deliver more, serve more and carry greater responsibility. Then why deny them a 5-day banking week?
Better working conditions support healthier employees, stronger families and sustainable productivity.
Bankers serve India. India’s bankers deserve a fair work-life balance.
