Quick approval of the 5-day week will create a more satisfied and engaged workforce willing to contribute even more to the banks.
Bankers also needs "Work Life Balance". Honour the joint note signed on 8th March 24.

2 demands,1 principle:what is agreed must be honoured,what is imposed must be negotiated.
5-DAY WEEK — signed 905 days ago. Digital payments: 99.7% of volume.
FAIR PLI — 1 Bank,1 result.Not 15 days for few, 329 for others, Rs 0 for 1 in 5 officer
#5DayWeekandFairPLI@FinMinIndia
We stand united in our demand for what is fair! 5-day banking is already agreed upon in principle—implement it immediately alongside a transparent, fair PLI system.

When commitments are honoured, institutions earn trust. When rewards are fair, people give their best.
Bankers have consistently delivered—financial inclusion, government schemes, MSME & agricultural credit, digital transformation and uninterrupted public service.
Our demand is neither unreasonable nor excessive:
✊ Implement the agreed 5-Day Banking
⚖️ Ensure a fair and non-discriminatory PLI
🤝 Respect the spirit of bilateralism
🏦 Recognise the collective contribution of the entire workforce
Performance should motivate people—not divide them.
One workforce. Equal dignity. Fair recognition.
It is time to convert commitment into implementation and dialogue into justice.

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.

5-Day Banking is NOT a demand for “one more holiday.”
That narrative completely ignores how modern banking actually functions.
Bankers are at the frontline of:
🏦 Financial inclusion
🏠 Housing & retail credit
🏭 MSME financing
🌾 Agricultural credit
💻 Digital banking
🇮🇳 Government-sponsored schemes
📊 Economic development
🤝 Customer service
The proposed 5-Day Banking arrangement itself envisages adjustment of working hours on the remaining five working days.
Technology has transformed banking. Customer access today extends far beyond physical branch counters through ATMs, mobile banking, internet banking, UPI and other digital channels.
What bankers are demanding is a modern, efficient and humane working system.
Reasonable working conditions do not weaken productivity. A motivated and adequately rested workforce strengthens institutions.
Bankers serve the nation with commitment.
Now honour the commitment made to bankers.
✊ Implement 5-Day Banking without further delay.

PSBs TURNED THE STORY AROUND. DID EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION?
From 14.58% GNPA in March 2018 to just 1.93%, Public Sector Banks have delivered a historic turnaround—while achieving record profits with fewer hands.
Yet, 5-Day Banking remains pending, and the revised PLI framework raises serious concerns about employees being left with little or no incentive.
When success is collective, why should recognition be selective?
The people who delivered the turnaround deserve a system that recognises their contribution.
Implement 5-Day Banking. Make PLI fair, inclusive and collective-performance based.

🚨 Strike Continues on 27 Jan 2026 🚨
Talks between CLC, DFS, IBA & Bank Management have FAILED on #5DayBanking.
Despite meetings on 14.01.2026 & 22.01.2026, authorities remain indifferent to bankers’ genuine demands.
✊ UFBU stands firm — No compromise on dignity & work-life balance!
