The 12th Bipartite Settlement accepted the need for 5-Day Banking, yet 800+ days later the @PMOIndia continues to sit on it.
This is no longer a delay it is deliberate neglect.
Bankers are the backbone of every government financial scheme, delivering transparency, compliance, and inclusion under relentless pressure.
While other departments enjoy a modern work week, bankers are pushed to do more with less without reform, relief, or respect.
Work–life balance is not charity.
It is a basic requirement for mental health, efficiency, and public trust. Ignoring this is weakening not just employees, but the entire banking system.
✊🏻 Enough is enough.
We stand united for the nationwide bank strike on January 27.
Recognize the workforce that sustains India’s economy or face collective resistance.

Government of India offices already follow a 5-day workweek.
So do regulators like RBI, SEBI, IRDAI.
❓Why should PSU bank officers—handling public money & national schemes—work under an outdated model?
Parity in work culture strengthens institutions.

Switching to a 5-day work week gives banks the chance to innovate and improve their services without compromising on quality. #Implement5DayBanking https://t.co/XnuydLxhhs
🇮🇳 Digital India. Viksit Bharat. Smart Banking.
📲 UPI works 24×7
💳 Apps don’t take Sundays off
Yet banks still follow a back-dated 6-day model? 🤔
A long-pending, already-agreed demand is still “under consideration”?
That’s not reform — that’s delay dressed as tradition.
#Implement5DayBanking Immediately.
Unconditional. Undelayed.
