Jai Bhim!
On auspicious occasion of the 136th Birth Anniversary of Bharat Ratna Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, we pay our heartfelt tributes to architect of the Indian Constitution, महान समाज सुधारक, और समानता, न्याय एवं मानव अधिकारों के महान योद्धा।
Life should be great rather than long.
Indian Bankers are on strike today, demanding the global practice of the five-day work week.
-At present, only the 2nd and 4th Saturdays are holidays.for them.
- To ensure there is no reduction in actual working hours, they have agreed that the daily working time can be extended.
- Bank employees forego one day’s salary for going on strikes on the principle of 'no work, no pay'.
- Apart from the central and state govts, many Institutions such as RBI, DFS, LIC, Ministries, IRDAI, stock exchanges, and several other public and private organisations already follow a five-day work week.
- Many of these institutions do not provide any weekend alternatives to citizens, whereas banks offer 24×7 alternative banking channels like digital banking, ATMs, and UPI.
- Notably, the Central Government, which has to take the final decision on this issue, has itself been following a five-day work week for its employees since 1985.
Bankers are the financial soldiers of the country and backbone of financial inclusion & growth.
Fulfill the promise made with them.

• Bankers run 6️⃣ Days without policy empathy
• IBA agrees ✔️
• Files move ✔️
• Meetings conclude ✔️
• DFS reviews ✔️
• Government “considers” ✔️
• Implementation? ❌
• Humans power the system, but policies treat them like servers
• Assurances travel faster than decisions
• Performance is mandatory, relief is optional
• Agreements are signed with confidence, executed with hesitation
• If delay were productivity, implementation would be complete
• Promises don’t need committees—only courage

#BankersDemand5DayWeek
Bankers are forced to come on roads due to prolong injustice meted on them with false promises of 5 days work a week. For motivated Financial Army, for developed Digital economy, nation's people are requested to join hands in their fight #5DaysWeekForBankers.
@nilesh_pawar15
15 lakh bank employees denied a basic, humane reform while RBI, govt offices, LIC & insurers enjoy parity.
This isn’t efficiency. It’s institutional hypocrisy. Equality at work is non-negotiable.
Implement the 5-day week—now.

LIC, SEBI, RBI and almost every major financial institution follow a 5-day work week.
Why are bankers treated differently?
