@aiboc_in It is crucial for the Government to take prompt action on the 5-day banking agreement made by IBA to support bank staff. #5DayBankingNow#AIBOC@PMOIndia
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.

Today’s demand for a 5-day banking week reflects years of unfulfilled promises; it’s time to take action. #5DayBankingNow#AIBOC@PMOIndia https://t.co/Uqkeij7DvS

Any Banker interested to comment on the reply by IBA for the point no. 2, which I reiterate as under-
Regulated Working Hours - IBA Replied that the working hours are already regulated and that no such cases of working beyond the regulated hours have been brought before the IBA.
Why Union Leaders attending the meeting go there with prepared Data !
Even BIOMETRIC ATTENDANCE Time Out will contradict with IBA submissions.
I urge every bankers to not forget marking TIMEOUT every time you leave.
Please share my message to all banker's fraternity.

❤️ Humanity before duty — this is what real banking looks like!
An SBI staff member stepped out of the bank branch to personally help a physically handicapped man complete his banking transaction.
No rush.
No excuse.
Just empathy.
This is not just service — this is compassion in action. 🇮🇳👏
Proud moment for #SBI

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.

Digital India upgraded in real time.
Bankers are still waiting on file time.
📌 Demand raised: 2015
📌 IBA recommendation: Accepted
📌 MoU signed: 07-12-2023
📌 Bipartite/Joint Note: 08-03-2024
Everything done.
Only implementation missing.
Staff shortages grow.
Stress grows.
Mistakes blamed on exhausted employees.
A rested banker serves the public better.
This is service quality, not a perk.
When agreements are signed but ignored, it’s not delay — it’s disrespect.
Stop testing patience.
Finish what YOU already approved.

@ChiefIba
When pilots now must get 48 hours rest weekly to protect lives after fatigue concerns triggered the IndiGo crisis, why are bankers denied similar dignity?
Bankers handle crores of public money, make critical decisions shaping India’s financial wellbeing, yet work long hours, often late into night, weekends & holidays with documented stress, burnout & tragic suicides.
If regulators, Govt agencies, RBI, LIC, GIC function 5 days, why not banking? It’s time for compassion, safety & sanity.

The largest bank in Australia - Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA), operates only 5 days a week from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm. Bankers in India are also demanding 5-Day Banking. #5daysworkweek#5daysbankingnow#5daybanking
