Ma'am,
“नजरिया बदलिए, व्यवस्था खुद रास्ता दिखा देगी; पाँच दिन बैंकिंग भी चलेगी और ग्राहक सेवा भी।”
A small counter-question: if 5-day banking is supposedly impractical, how are major banking systems across the world managing it?
Look at BRICS itself.
5-day working for employees does not mean banking services disappear for two days.
Digital banking, ATMs, mobile banking, call centres and other channels continue beyond branch hours. Where genuine physical service is required, the bank and customers already managing the same as per rules.
We already follows a 5-day week in RBI, Government offices and several other financial institutions. Even the IBA has already submitted the proposal to the Government for declaring all Saturdays as bank holidays.
So the question should not be, “How will customers survive if bankers get two weekly holidays?”
The better question is: Why should in India bank employees be denied a modern 5-day work week when banking itself has become increasingly digital and comparable service models are functioning across the world?
Customer service and employees’ work-life balance can go hand in hand.

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.

Dear Government of India,
If RBI, LIC, GIC, stock exchanges and financial markets operate on a 5-day week, why are bank employees still waiting for the same system?
The agreement exists. The demand is clear. The extra working hours are already part of the proposal. What exactly is taking so long?
Bankers serve the economy Monday to Friday. Their families deserve Saturdays too.
