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.

8.86 lakh employees in 2012-13.
7.58 lakh by March 2025.
Business past Rs 283 lakh crore.
Record profits, over a lakh fewer hands and still six day per week.
5 day banking is not a concession. It is arithmetic that caught up long ago

Banks power India 5 days a week in the demand? No. Bankers ask for 5 Days Banking, with the agreed 40-minute daily adjustment. The proposal has been pending with the Government since the March 2024 settlement. How long must the workforce wait for a settled issue?

Every 24x7 banking service has a banker behind it and a family waiting at home. We agreed to the 5-day week in March 2024 and accepted longer weekday hours. The regulator, the insurer and the Government all work 5 days.
Our demand is just. The delay is not.

🏦 5-DAY BANKING: A LONG-PENDING DEMAND THAT DESERVES IMMEDIATE ACTION!
Bankers are the backbone of India’s financial system. We serve millions of customers, support businesses, implement government schemes, facilitate financial inclusion and keep the nation’s economy moving even beyond regular working hours.
Despite the commitment made under the 12th Bipartite Settlement dated 08.03.2024, the long-pending demand for 5-Day Banking remains unimplemented.
📌 Bankers deserve work-life balance.
📌 Time with family is not a luxury.
📌 A 5-day workweek is a legitimate demand not a favour!
With digital banking, UPI, ATMs and internet banking providing round-the-clock access to essential services, it is time to address this long-pending issue through meaningful action.
We appeal to @DFS_India, @FinMinIndia and @PMOIndia to intervene and ensure the early implementation of 5-Day Banking.
Enough waiting. Honour the commitment. Deliver #5DaysBankingNow !
Ideal direction: banking should come to customer—not customer routinely come to branches. Banks already have digital platforms where almost every service is available online. So, what is the need of branches on Saturdays? Instead, strengthen digital support & AI

The urgency for implementing 5-day banking has never been higher, especially with rising workloads and staff shortages. #5DayBankingNow#AIBOC@PMOIndia https://t.co/1Ffv6wuNa9
A better banking experience starts with a sustainable workweek. With acute staff shortages and mounting stress, 5-day banking is about public service and employee well-being, not a privilege.
UFBU has been pressing since 2015; IBA has already recommended it to the Government (MoU 07-12-2023), and the 12th Bipartite/9th Joint Note (08-03-2024) records the Saturday holiday clause, pending approvals/clearances.
Honour what’s on record. Approve all Saturdays off.
