Deeply saddened by the unfortunate demise of Shri Bishal Brata Roy, a newly recruited DRO at Bank of Baroda. This tragic incident highlights the importance of continuously reviewing workplace conditions, employee well-being, and support systems in the banking sector.

The time calls for constructive introspection on training, staffing levels, workload management, transfer policies, mental health support, and employee-friendly HR practices.

A strong banking system must be built not only on performance, but also on the well-being, dignity, and professional growth of its workforce.

Heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family.

India’s bankers demand dignity.Implement 5-Day Banking now.Productivity improves, service quality strengthens, and work–life balance becomes sustainable—burnout does not build nations. In modern economies, governments measure outcomes, not exhausted hours.
It’s time for real reform, not press releases.

A rested workforce serves the public better. With staff shortages and rising stress, 5-day banking is a service-quality issue, not a “perk.” UFBU has pursued this since 2015; IBA has recommended it to the Government (MoU 07-12-2023), and it’s included in the 12th Bipartite/9th Joint Note (08-03-2024), pending clearances.
Let’s finish what’s already agreed.

India is 100% digital… but bankers are still working on a 1995 timetable.

UPI runs 24×7. ATMs work 365 days.
Digital payments never sleep —
only bankers are expected to.

🔹 90% routine banking is mobile & UPI, yet humans follow a 6-day “legacy protocol.”
🔹 Cash counters dropped by 60–70%, but pressure didn’t get the memo.
🔹 Technology upgraded instantly; human recharge time is still “under review.”
🔹 A 6-day week fuels burnout and fatigue — clearly not the smartest digital upgrade.
🔹 5-Day Banking saves thousands of crores, but rest is still treated as a premium feature.

The irony is that India built a lightning-fast digital economy but forgot to update the humans running it.

The simple truth is bankers are asking for 5-Day Banking not for comfort, but because humans — unlike machines — need a restart.

A commitment recorded, awaiting implementation.
During the BPS Settlement, bankers were informed that 5-Day Banking was envisaged as a committed outcome rather than a demand. This understanding formed part of the broader settlement framework, based on mutual trust and good faith.
Over a year has elapsed since then. While the system has adapted and performance levels have been sustained, the implementation of the assurance remains pending.
• The assurance was conveyed through official channels.
• Time has progressed, workloads and expectations have evolved—implementation is yet to follow.
• Bankers have continued to honour the settlement in both letter and spirit.
This issue is not one of convenience, but of process consistency. In an increasingly digital and time-sensitive economy, policy execution gains importance alongside policy intent.
It is therefore hoped that the commitment is taken forward to its logical conclusion.

Banking is not just a profession—it is a constitutional commitment to financial stability & national growth. Yet, those who ensure economic resilience face endless workweeks, shrinking manpower & policy paralysis that prioritizes numbers over human dignity.

Why should those managing trillions in public funds be denied the very rights enshrined for employees?

📢 The demand is simple: Fair policies, dignified working conditions & security from Assaults, arbitrary performance pressures. A system that thrives on the dedication of its officers must protect their well-being.

⚖️ Justice for bankers is justice for economic integrity. The voice of the banking community shouldn't be ignored.

In the era of Digital India when smart banking should be the mark of VIKSIT BHARAT we are still following back dated idea of 6 days Banking. Long pending demand of #5DayBankingNow
should be implemented immediately unconditional.

🌟 Bank of India – 120 Years of Legacy & Service 🌟

@BankofIndia_IN 120-year journey is not just the story of a Bank — it is the story of India’s progress, resilience, and aspirations. Since its inception in 1906, our beloved institution has stood as a pillar of trust, growing into a financial powerhouse with business crossing ₹15 lakh crore, a robust network of 5,300+ branches across 69 Zones, and a proud global footprint serving millions across continents.

From financing industries that built modern India to supporting farmers, entrepreneurs, and small businesses, Bank of India has been an active partner in nation-building. Every milestone in our country’s economic journey has been mirrored in the achievements of our Bank.

This remarkable saga of more than twelve decades has been made possible by the tireless dedication, sacrifices, and integrity of generations of officers and employees, whose commitment to service has carried forward the torch of dignity and excellence. Equally, it is the faith and goodwill of our customers that has given strength to our Mother Institution.

As we celebrate this historic Foundation Day, @fboioa_india proudly reaffirms its dual responsibility:

To safeguard the dignity, rights, and welfare of officers and staff, ensuring their voices remain strong and respected.

To contribute with renewed energy to the continued growth of our Bank and its role in the service of the Nation.

Today, we celebrate not merely an institution, but a national heritage — one that has stood shoulder to shoulder with India’s growth story, and will continue to do so with unity, courage, and commitment.

✨ Together, let us pledge to strengthen our Bank, protect our fraternity, and build a brighter future for the generations to come. ✨

Recent incidents of verbal and physical abuse on bankers in Maharashtra over language issues are deeply concerning. @aiboc_in Maharashtra State has submitted a formal appeal to Hon’ble Dy CMs Shri @mieknathshinde ji & Shri @AjitPawarSpeaks ji, urging decisive action.

The Dy CMs acknowledged the crucial role played by bankers in implementing key govt schemes like 'Ladki Bahin Yojana' and assured timely intervention. They have directed police authorities & SLBC to act firmly and prevent recurrence of such incidents.

They also emphasized the need for bankers to maintain a polite and supportive attitude while serving the public.

In line with their guidance, we appeal to all bankers to sincerely implement the Trilingual Policy, with due respect for the local language—ensuring harmony and avoiding any grounds for grievance.

We trust and are really hopeful that the Govt of Maharashtra will ensure a safe, respectful environment for all bankers.

With deep sorrow, we remember Com. Abhishekh Soreng, Officer at Sawantwadi Branch, Ratnagiri Zone, who passed away on January 13, 2025, due to medical complications. His untimely demise is a huge loss to his family, colleagues, and the banking fraternity. He is survived by his mother and brother, who now face this heartbreaking void.

The cheque was handed over by Federation General Secretary @nilesh_pawar15 Ji, at @BankofIndia_IN Head Office, BKC, Mumbai, in the presence of @boioapune General Secretary @Pramod_Shinde09. His brother, Mr. Abhinav Soreng, and his mother were present to receive it.
