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.

General Secretary

Longer workdays in exchange for all Saturdays off is a fair trade, and bank employees are ready to embrace it—implement 5-day banking! #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[Kanhaiya Patidar @Kanhapatidar23]

The delay in implementing 5-day banking is unacceptable; we deserve swift action and approval now! #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[Kanhaiya Patidar @Kanhapatidar23]

The promise of all Saturdays off has been long overdue; let’s implement the agreed 5-day banking without further delay! #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[Rupam Roy @rupamsmail]

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.

#5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[Kanhaiya Patidar @Kanhapatidar23]

The 5-day week is not a new demand; it is an agreed commitment that deserves to be prioritized and executed without further delays. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[Kanhaiya Patidar @Kanhapatidar23]

Bank employees are asking for their right to a 5-day working week, not a favor; it’s part of what has been agreed. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia

[All India Bank Officers' Confederation (AIBOC) @aiboc_in]

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.

FOMO - fear of missing out is shielded by the Fear of being embarrassed. UFBU always wins and the Govt. has relented again. Victory is ours comrade , strike ahead march on. @FinMinIndia @DFS_India

[Kanhaiya Patidar @Kanhapatidar23]

The DFS approval delay for the 5-day week undermines both employee morale and agreed-upon commitments! #5DayWeekandFairPLI #AIBOC @PMOIndia https://t.co/v0GLQxoDXO

[Rupam Roy @rupamsmail]

An agreement must be honoured. A reward system must be fair.

#5DayWeekandFairPLI

The 5 Day Work Week for bank employees was agreed in the Bipartite Settlement of March 2024. Its implementation cannot remain pending indefinitely.

At the same time, a unilateral and discriminatory PLI framework that divides the workforce must give way to a fair, transparent and inclusive system for all employees.

Every achievement of our banks is the outcome of collective effort.

Recognition too must reflect that collective contribution.

We seek no privilege, only implementation of an agreed commitment, equality in reward and dignity at work.

[Kanhaiya Patidar @Kanhapatidar23]

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.
