An agreement must be honoured. A reward system must be fair.
#5DayWeekandFairPLI
The 5 Day Work Week for bank employees was agreed in the Bipartite Settlement of March 2024. Its implementation cannot remain pending indefinitely.
At the same time, a unilateral and discriminatory PLI framework that divides the workforce must give way to a fair, transparent and inclusive system for all employees.
Every achievement of our banks is the outcome of collective effort.
Recognition too must reflect that collective contribution.
We seek no privilege, only implementation of an agreed commitment, equality in reward and dignity at work.
@PMOIndia
The commitment for a 5-day workweek in banking has been pending for far too long.
This is about dignity, health, and sustainable performance.
Honour it. Notify it. Implement it.
#BankersDemand5DayWeek
A 5-day banking week would enhance work-life balance for employees and improve service quality for customers—let's make it happen! #BankersDemand5DayWeek#AIBOC https://t.co/za8BySr5rP
Bank employees are the backbone of India’s financial system, powering inclusion, safeguarding stability, and enabling growth.
Yet, they’re still denied a humane work–life balance.
A 5-day work week in the banking industry isn’t a “perk”, it’s a long-overdue necessity. The commitment has been made. Now it must be honoured.
Act now. Implement a 5-day week for bankers too, without delay.
#BankersDemand5DayWeek
Policy makers talk about productivity while forcing burnout on bank employees. Hypocrisy won’t run a modern economy. Act with responsibility. Approve the 5-day banking week.
#Approve5DayBankingNow
Cutting back to a 5-day week can help banks optimize resources and create cost efficiencies, benefiting both employees and clients. #Implement5DayBanking https://t.co/5ZfwHkiCmK
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.

When the world is moving to a 4-day week, and banking is already 24x7 in the digital era, bankers asking for a 5-day week isn’t a luxury. It’s justice.
IBA has agreed. The understanding is signed.
Now the Government must honour its commitment – no more excuses, no more delays.
Respect the Settlement. Deliver it.

Respected Prime Minister,
We thank you for recognising and lauding dedicated Bank employees for their commendable efforts in implementing vital social security schemes. The share of Public Sector Banks is 97% in PM Jan Dhan Yojana, 96% PM in PM JeevanJyoti Bima Yojana and PM Suraksha Bima Yojana and 93% in Atal Pension Yojana and Kisan Credit Cards, apart from significant lending to priority sector, infrastructure sector and strategic sectors.
We request your attention to the following pressing issues for the motivation and welfare of the Banking workforce:
1. Through digital transformation, the Banking services are made available 24x7 through various means for all citizens.
Thus, Implementing of a long pending issue of 5-day work week will enhance work-life balance and boost productivity, ensuring the well-being of employees. #5DayWorkWeek #WorkLifeBalance
2. Also, urgently addressing pending wage revision will recognize the hard work and dedication of employees, providing them with their rightful dues.
3. A prompt pension updation is necessary to secure the future of retired employees, offering them financial stability and peace of mind.
4. Introduction of an assured pension scheme will further safeguard the interests of the young workforce, providing them with a reliable and stable retirement plan.
5. The customer to employee ratio is not par in PSBs. Recruitment of adequate staff in Public Sector Banks would further strengthen the PSBs in serving the nation.
We hope you will consider these requests and take necessary actions for the betterment of the workforce. 🙏🏽
