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.

The success of the 11 September All India Bank Strike has strengthened our resolve.
The next phase calls for even greater unity and participation:
28–30 September 2026 — Three-Day Continuous Strike.
Our demands for 5-Day Banking and withdrawal of the unilateral, discriminatory PLI scheme remain firmly before us.
Comrades, let us stand united. Every voice, every participation and every act of solidarity matters.

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.

जे. के. लोन हॉस्पिटल कोटा के NICU 1 का AC पिछले एक सप्ताह से खराब है। इस NICU में कई नवजात बच्चे जिंदगी की जंग लड़ रहे हैं । इस भयंकर गर्मी में AC नहीं चलने के कारण इन नवजात बच्चों में गंभीर संक्रमण का खतरा मंडरा रहा है। ये नवजात बच्चे भगवान भरोसे है ।

टैक्स भरिये,
15 साल के RTO टैक्स का भुगतान करिए,
और अब सड़क पर चलने के लिए एक और एक्स्ट्रा टैक्स भरिए,
अन्यथा लाठियों से अपनी गाड़ी से लेकर अपनी गान तक तुड़वा लीजिए..
