Government signs settlements and then pretends they donโt exist.
IBA agreed. Deal concluded.
Implement the 5-day week now โ or donโt be surprised by united resistance on January 27.
#Approve5DayBankingNow
India has gone digital. Banking has gone 24ร7. Only bankers are still stuck with a 6-day work week.
Modern systems demand modern work practices. Work-life balance is not a luxuryโitโs essential for productivity, accountability, and better public service. Bankers deserve the same 5-day work structure followed across sectors.
Promises made must be promises kept.
#BankersDemand5DayWeek
A rested workforce serves the public better. With staff shortages and rising stress, 5-day banking is a service-quality issue, not a โperk.โ UFBU has pursued this since 2015; IBA has recommended it to the Government (MoU 07-12-2023), and itโs included in the 12th Bipartite/9th Joint Note (08-03-2024), pending clearances.
Letโs finish whatโs already agreed.

5-Day Work Week: A Standard for Productivity, Growth & Efficiency and a norm for ethical workplace.

An agreement between the management of all Banks represented by IBA (Indian Banks Association) and employees unions has already been signed, and the IBA has recommended it to the government. Yet, the implementation remains pending.
Banking is a demanding & high-pressure service industry with long hours of work and zero tolerance for human errors. If any sector deserves a 5-day work week on priority, itโs banking.
Bank employees and their families fervently hope that this much-needed reform will be declared soon.
We urge the government @FinMinIndia, @PMOIndia, @DFS_India to prioritize this decision for the well-being of bank employees and to further enhance the banking sectorโs efficiency.
