The DFS is spreading misinformation and making it look like bankers are the villains by spreading the half baked letter through media and bank's official pages. Such cowardly tactics won't last long. Bankers have waited patiently for more than 2 years for #5DaysBanking
All Bank Heads circulated the message of Government for all employees to continue uninterrupted service. Now, it’s time to send the message of employees to Government for implementation of 5 days banking immediately .

The documented record is clear. IBA and UFBU agreed in Dec 2023 and the March 2024 settlement on 5-day banking with +40 min weekday hours. Only the government can issue the NI Act Sec 25 notification. Over 2.5 years later it remains pending, with DFS still listing it as under examination. That delay is what has driven the strikes.
Don’t mistake our commitment to public service for weakness.
During COVID, when many stayed home, bankers stood at the counters, handled cash, processed salaries, pensions, loans and essential banking services—putting ourselves and our families at risk.
We stood with the public then.
We stand with them now.
Respect bankers. Respect dialogue. Respect democracy.
We won’t be bullied. We won’t be silenced. We will stand together.

जो DFS / अर्थमंत्रालय बैंक हड़ताल फेल करने की अपील कर रहा है , वहां 5 दिवसीय कार्य सप्ताह है।
जिन बैंक के Top Executives से अपील कर रहा है, उन्हें 20 से 25 लाख का PLI बोनस/ इंसेंटिव मिला है।
जिनकी मदद लेने बोल रहा है, उस RBI एवं गृह मंत्रालय में 5 दिवसीय कार्य सप्ताह है।
लेकिन, जिन शाखास्तर पर RISK लेकर काम कर रहे बैंक कर्मचारियों को हड़ताल पर न जाने की अपील कर रहा है, "ना उन्हें 5 दिवसीय कार्य सप्ताह दे रहा है ना तो सम्मानजनक PLI/ बोनस/ इंसेंटिव दे रहा हैं।
काम करे शाखा स्तर पर के कर्मचारी और मलाई खाएं ऊपर बैठे चुनिंदा अधिकारी!!! 🤔
आम बैंक कर्मी को सिर्फ भावनात्मक झुनझुना, सरकारी योजनाओं को लागू करवाने की जिम्मेदारी, खराब स्वास्थ्य और बिगड़ा हुआ वर्क लाइफ बैलेंस।
सरकार बैंक कर्मीयों के मानसिक एवं शारीरिक स्वास्थ्य से खिलवाड़ बंद करें। @PMOIndia@narendramodi #AIBOC #FBOIOA #5DayWeekAndFairPLI #5DayBankingNow

Based on the documented timeline:
Dec 2023 IBA-UFBU MoU and March 2024 bipartite settlement recorded IBA’s recommendation for 5-day banking (all Saturdays as holidays, with +40 min daily hours Mon-Fri). IBA forwarded it to the Government.
Over 2.5 years later, no NI Act Sec 25 notification has been issued. DFS/FinMin has repeatedly stated the matter is “under consideration” or “continues to be examined,” including as of 21 Sep 2026, despite conciliations and prior assurances that deferred strikes.
Unions agreed to the compensatory terms and have pursued implementation through talks then action after delays.
The stalemate responsibility rests with the Government/DFS, which alone can issue the required notification.
Going on strike is not something we do for fun, issue is not resolved through dialogue since 11 years. Govt not honoured his Commitment after mentioning in BIPARTITE Settlement which is part of dialogue since 2023. GOVT COMMITMENT IS NOW NPA/LOSS ASSET, to revive only Strike
