You ask bankers to deliver more, serve more and carry greater responsibility. Then why deny them a 5-day banking week?
Better working conditions support healthier employees, stronger families and sustainable productivity.
Bankers serve India. India’s bankers deserve a fair work-life balance.
Our Demand is just, delay is Not.Implement #5DayBankingNow @PMOIndia #FBOIOA
✊ OUR STRUGGLE IS NOT AGAINST ANY INDIVIDUAL.
OUR STRUGGLE IS FOR PRINCIPLES.
For 5-Day Banking — because a negotiated commitment must be honoured.
Against discriminatory PLI — because performance cannot become an instrument for division.
For residual issues — because legitimate demands cannot remain pending indefinitely.
For bilateralism — because negotiated settlements and Joint Notes must carry meaning.
And above all, for UNITY — because the banking fraternity cannot allow itself to be divided by cadre, scale, designation or institution.
We have contributed to building India’s banking system.
We have carried financial inclusion to the last mile.
We have stood with the country during every challenge.
Today we ask for neither privilege nor favour.
We ask for fairness.
We ask for dignity.
We ask for commitments to be honoured.
We ask for justice.
Let every banker speak with ONE VOICE.
✊ UNITED WE STAND • UNITED WE FIGHT • UNITED WE SHALL PREVAIL

905 days since the 9th Joint Note.
997 days since the December 2023 understanding when 5 Day Banking Promise was agreed in written.
Digital payments are 99.7% of transaction volume. Cheques, 2.3% of value. RBI, LIC & GIC already work five days.And Bankers offered 40 extra minutes a weekday for it. Despite everything they failed to keep the promise. A signed commitment is not a suggestion but an obligation.
Read the revised PLI matrix carefully.
In EVERY scenario — even where the Bank scores above 80% and performed magnificently — the bottom bracket receives Rs 0.
Not a reduced award. Zero!
1 in 5 officers, every year, labelled as zero contributor.
Not an incentive, a backfired initiative. We demand #5DayWeekandFairPLI
PSBs TURNED THE STORY AROUND. DID EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION?
From 14.58% GNPA in March 2018 to just 1.93%, Public Sector Banks have delivered a historic turnaround—while achieving record profits with fewer hands.
Yet, 5-Day Banking remains pending, and the revised PLI framework raises serious concerns about employees being left with little or no incentive.
When success is collective, why should recognition be selective?
The people who delivered the turnaround deserve a system that recognises their contribution.
Implement 5-Day Banking. Make PLI fair, inclusive and collective-performance based.

5-Day Banking is NOT a demand for “one more holiday.”
That narrative completely ignores how modern banking actually functions.
Bankers are at the frontline of:
🏦 Financial inclusion
🏠 Housing & retail credit
🏭 MSME financing
🌾 Agricultural credit
💻 Digital banking
🇮🇳 Government-sponsored schemes
📊 Economic development
🤝 Customer service
The proposed 5-Day Banking arrangement itself envisages adjustment of working hours on the remaining five working days.
Technology has transformed banking. Customer access today extends far beyond physical branch counters through ATMs, mobile banking, internet banking, UPI and other digital channels.
What bankers are demanding is a modern, efficient and humane working system.
Reasonable working conditions do not weaken productivity. A motivated and adequately rested workforce strengthens institutions.
Bankers serve the nation with commitment.
Now honour the commitment made to bankers.
✊ Implement 5-Day Banking without further delay.

India’s Bank employees seek two things rooted in fairness and dignity at work.
#5DayWeekandFairPLI
The demand for a 5 Day Work Week in banks is not new. It already stands agreed upon in the Bipartite Settlement of March 2024. What remains is its long-pending implementation.
At the same time, the unilateral and discriminatory PLI system must be abolished and replaced with a fair, transparent and inclusive framework for all employees, recognising the collective effort behind every institution’s performance.
Hardworking bank employees are not asking for privilege. They are asking for implementation of an agreement and equality in reward.
A motivated banking workforce strengthens Indian banking and the nation.
@PMOIndia
Dear Government,
The bankers have waited long enough. Now, perhaps the waiting room needs to be closed.
OUR DEMANDS:
✅ 5-Day Banking: Work-life balance should not remain a “future proposal.”
✅ Fair PLI: If everyone contributes to the bank’s success, why is fairness still selective?
✅ Pending Issues: Please resolve them before they become historical documents.
✅ Equal Treatment: Same bank, same contribution, same respect.
We seek justice, not another committee, clarification or extension. Because bankers work for the bank every day. Their rights should not work only on government files.

The implementation of #5DayBankingNow cannot remain caught between acknowledgment and action. The understanding was formally recorded, and bankers have continued to deliver consistently amid increasing operational and digital demands.
With banking services now functioning 24×7 through digital channels, the pressure on human resources has only intensified. Despite this, the agreed outcome of a five-day workweek remains unimplemented.
Bankers have honoured the settlement in both letter and spirit every working day. Policy commitments deserve the same seriousness in execution.
Assurances are meaningful only when translated into outcomes. It is time to move from intent to implementation, and from files to facts.

If the daughter's surname was Tripathi, Sharma, Upadhyay Dubey, Rajput, Singh, Rathore, then the matter would have become the headline of all the news media so far.

One more daughter of India became victim of this system and society.
A nine year old dalit girl was brutally raped, murdered and burned in delhi.
I request our Delhi team to provide all necessary help to victim's family and fight for justice.
