An earnest appeal to Hon’ble CM Maharashtra @Dev_Fadnavis to declare Monday, 9th November 2026, a Bank Holiday under Section 25 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, as Deepawali falls on Sunday, 8th November.
Thousands of bank employees work away from their hometowns and deserve to celebrate this festival with their families.
Several states have already declared 9th November a holiday. We request Maharashtra to extend the same consideration and grant bankers a much-needed three-day festive break (7th–9th November).
A small gesture that would mean so much to thousands of banking families!

A performance-based PLI that ignores actual performance raises a basic question: is revenue the only “merit”?
If Risk, Audit, Compliance and prudent credit decisions protect the bank, their contribution must count too. Meanwhile, employees accepted 40 additional minutes daily for Five-Day Banking, yet implementation remains pending.
Honour the agreement. Ensure Fair PLI.

The banker assaulted at Khamgaon, Buldhana was not making government policy. He was only implementing it. Every farm loan, loan waiver, subsidy, DBT, and welfare scheme announced by the Central and State Governments ultimately reaches the public through a banker.
The policy is announced by @DFS_India@PMOIndia and @CMOMaharashtra. The credit goes to governments. But when anger erupts, the banker becomes the target.
This is not governance. This is shifting the cost of policy failures onto frontline bankers.
We urge @buldhanapolice1 to immediately arrest the culprit and ensure strict legal action. Violence against a public servant performing official duty cannot be tolerated.

🌍 World moving to 4-Day Week
🏦 Banking already 24×7 (digital)
But when bankers ask for 5 days, suddenly it’s called “luxury”?
✔️ IBA agreed
✔️ Settlement signed
Now the ball is with the Government —
Honour your own commitment.
No excuses. No delays.
Respect the Settlement. Deliver it.

A #5DayBankingNow is not a luxury.

Digital India has reduced 60–70% cash counters, but not reduced banker workload — a clear mismatch.
▶️ Mobile + UPI handle 90% of routine banking, yet staff are stuck in old schedules with modern pressure.
▶️ 6-day work = 47% more stress + 62% burnout, harming the people who keep digital payments running smoothly.
▶️ A shift to 5-Day Banking saves ₹5,000 crore (equal to 28+ operational days) — funds that can power digital infra, cybersecurity, and customer service.
▶️ Better work-life balance directly improves the Human Happiness Index — because healthy employees deliver better digital and physical service.

@BankofIndia_IN 120-year journey reflects trust, inclusion & service to the nation. By implementing PMJDY, BOI gave millions access to banking for the first time.

The banking sector is the backbone of our economy.
#UnitedWeStand for 👇🏻
▶️Employee well being & Productivity
▶️Technological advancements support banking needs
▶️Global standards & Competitiveness
▶️Better Work-Life Balance ensuring smooth financial transactions, credit access, and economic stability.
However, as the world evolves, so must our banking operations. Many industries worldwide have adopted a five-day workweek to promote efficiency, productivity, and work-life balance. The banking sector should not be an exception.

Banking is not just a profession—it is a constitutional commitment to financial stability & national growth. Yet, those who ensure economic resilience face endless workweeks, shrinking manpower & policy paralysis that prioritizes numbers over human dignity.
Why should those managing trillions in public funds be denied the very rights enshrined for employees?
📢 The demand is simple: Fair policies, dignified working conditions & security from Assaults, arbitrary performance pressures. A system that thrives on the dedication of its officers must protect their well-being.
⚖️ Justice for bankers is justice for economic integrity. The voice of the banking community shouldn't be ignored.

#UnitedWeStand
A Nation’s Economic strength is built on the shoulders of its bankers, yet they remain overworked, understaffed & unheard. When policy decisions ignore their welfare, the very foundation of financial stability is shaken.
Why does a sector that safeguards deposits, finances dreams, and ensures economic resilience face shrinking manpower & increasing pressure? When every other institution enjoys structured work-life balance, why are those managing trillions in public funds denied basic working conditions?
6-day workweeks, staff shortages & unrealistic performance reviews are eroding morale. A profession that demands utmost integrity & precision is being run on stress, targets & fear.
🛑 Banking isn’t just business—it’s a national service. It’s time to recognize it as such.
📢 Fair recruitment, a #5DaysBanking & dignified policies aren’t privileges—they are necessities.
A system that thrives on the dedication of its officers must ensure their security, well-being & professional dignity.
