We are not robots.
We are not machines.
We are not AI tools.
We are bankers with families waiting at home, children who need us, and lives beyond late-night reviews and relentless targets.

Five-Day Banking is not a luxury.

It is dignity. It is justice. It is overdue.

After 30 months of a broken promise, we stand together.

Strike 28–30 September.

No fear. No retreat.

[Rupam Roy @rupamsmail]

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.

[BOIOA-North Western Unit @BOIOA_NWU]

Conciliation meetings happened. What did not happen is a firm commitment on an already-signed settlement.

Our salaries get deducted for the strike days, Strikes are the last option for us after repeated delay from @DFS_India and @FinMinIndia , no banker wants their salary to be deducted.

We want uninterrupted service too, that is why we agreed upon extended working hours on remaining weekdays.

Madam, @nsitharaman Kindly honour the 2024 agreement entered with #UFBU through @ChairmanIba and set a date for notifying 5 Days Banking.

Dialogue without a deadline is not resolution. #5DayBanking #BankStrike

Bankers keep India connected 24×7.

But behind every transaction, target and deadline is a human being, with a family, responsibilities and a life beyond the branch.

A 5-day week was agreed in March 2024, with bankers accepting longer working hours from Monday to Friday.

The demand is reasonable. The commitment is proven. The delay is difficult to justify.

Implement 5-Day Banking now.

Why should Bankers suffer endless work pressure while others enjoy their weekends?
For the Government, Saturday is a policy-approved holiday; for bankers, it’s a compulsory sacrifice — apparently equality ends where banking begins.

We stand in full solidarity with the United Forum of Bank Unions in their fight for recruitment, job security, and better working conditions. Banking staff are the backbone of our economy—they deserve respect, safety, and justice. Strength to all striking workers! #BankStrike #SupportBankUnions

[BOIOA-North Western Unit @BOIOA_NWU]

UFBU is gearing up for a 2-day nationwide strike on March 24-25, 2025!

Our main demands are:

- 5-day work week.
- Satisfactory recruitment.
- Do not recover income tax on staff welfare benefits given to bankers.

[Nilesh Pawar @nilesh_pawar15]

Bank employees are the backbone of the economy, yet they continue to face immense workload, unregulated working hours, and mounting stress. Despite repeated assurances, the commitment to implement #5DaysBanking remains unfulfilled. It’s time for @ChiefIba to honor its written promise in letter and spirit. A healthy work-life balance is not just an employee demand but a necessity for better productivity and efficient banking services. @DFS_India must act to ensure bankers get the fair working conditions they deserve!

@nilesh_pawar15 @fboioa_india @BOIOAMNG @BOIOAVidarbha @boioapune @BOIOA_Rajasthan @boioasz @Ankyghate @ramshankarsingh While the world explores shorter workweeks, Indian bankers face hurdles in adopting #5DaysBanking.
Regulatory bodies like @RBI and others work 5 days a week, leaving bankers wondering when they'll get a reduced schedule. Time for a change?

While PSU Banks are rewriting History, the Historic announcement by Govt is yet be made on #5DaysBanking.

We urge the central government to support the proposal for a 5-day work week for banks. This change will enhance productivity, improve employee well-being, and align our practices with international standards.
