A rested workforce serves the public better. With staff shortages and rising stress, 5-day banking is a service-quality issue, not a “perk.” UFBU has pursued this since 2015; IBA has recommended it to the Government (MoU 07-12-2023), and it’s included in the 12th Bipartite/9th Joint Note (08-03-2024), pending clearances.
Let’s finish what’s already agreed.

Customers have moved online, systems run 24×7, and PSBs are posting record profits—yet bankers are still bound to outdated work schedules.
Efficiency has been delivered. Results are visible.
Modern banking needs modern working norms.

Behind every bank counter is a human being, not a machine.
While weekends mean family time for most, bankers miss school events, family moments, and personal growth—year after year.
Humane systems need humane working hours.
We demand #5DayBanking.

Crores managed. Millions served. Weekends lost.
Bankers deliver results at the cost of health and family time.
Efficiency cannot come from exhaustion.
Modern banking needs humane working norms.
Implement #5DayBankingNow
जन-धन योजना हो या कोविड का संकट—
बैंकर हर मोर्चे पर डटे रहे।
आज जब बैंकिंग डिजिटल है, मुनाफ़ा रिकॉर्ड पर है,
तो बैंकरों से हर शनिवार काम लेना किस तर्क पर?
यह सुविधा नहीं, न्याय और मानवीय कार्य-प्रणाली की माँग है।
अब और देरी नहीं।
5-Day Banking लागू करो।
#5DayBankingNow ⚖️
The system rests. The banker doesn’t.
Regulators and markets follow a 5-day week.
bankers keep losing weekends, family time, and health.
Equal responsibility deserves equal treatment.
5-Day Banking is long overdue.
#5DayBankingNow
When the world is moving to a 4-day week, and banking is already 24x7 in the digital era, bankers asking for a 5-day week isn’t a luxury. It’s justice.
IBA has agreed. The understanding is signed.
Now the Government must honour its commitment – no more excuses, no more delays.
Respect the Settlement. Deliver it.
