905 days since the 9th Joint Note.
997 days since the December 2023 understanding when 5 Day Banking Promise was agreed in written.
Digital payments are 99.7% of transaction volume. Cheques, 2.3% of value. RBI, LIC & GIC already work five days.And Bankers offered 40 extra minutes a weekday for it. Despite everything they failed to keep the promise. A signed commitment is not a suggestion but an obligation.
Read the revised PLI matrix carefully.
In EVERY scenario — even where the Bank scores above 80% and performed magnificently — the bottom bracket receives Rs 0.
Not a reduced award. Zero!
1 in 5 officers, every year, labelled as zero contributor.
Not an incentive, a backfired initiative. We demand #5DayWeekandFairPLI
@DFS_India keep your promise made on 8 March 2024 and eliminate unnecessary stress by implementing 5-day banking now. #5DayWeekandFairPLI#AIBOC@PMOIndia
Honour Bi-partite Settlement and Stop implementation of UNILATERAL and DISCRIMINATORY "Performance Linked Incentive" scheme.
What value does an agreed Industrial Understanding hold if its implementation can remain indefinitely pending ??
Will this structure of recognition not divide the workforce??
We don’t want favours. We want fair, transparent & equitable PLI for all.

#5DayWeekandFairPLI
India’s Bank employees seek two things rooted in fairness and dignity at work.
#5DayWeekandFairPLI
The demand for a 5 Day Work Week in banks is not new. It already stands agreed upon in the Bipartite Settlement of March 2024. What remains is its long-pending implementation.
At the same time, the unilateral and discriminatory PLI system must be abolished and replaced with a fair, transparent and inclusive framework for all employees, recognising the collective effort behind every institution’s performance.
Hardworking bank employees are not asking for privilege. They are asking for implementation of an agreement and equality in reward.
A motivated banking workforce strengthens Indian banking and the nation.
@PMOIndia
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.

India is 100% digital… but bankers are still working on a 1995 timetable.
UPI runs 24×7. ATMs work 365 days.
Digital payments never sleep —
only bankers are expected to.
🔹 90% routine banking is mobile & UPI, yet humans follow a 6-day “legacy protocol.”
🔹 Cash counters dropped by 60–70%, but pressure didn’t get the memo.
🔹 Technology upgraded instantly; human recharge time is still “under review.”
🔹 A 6-day week fuels burnout and fatigue — clearly not the smartest digital upgrade.
🔹 5-Day Banking saves thousands of crores, but rest is still treated as a premium feature.
The irony is that India built a lightning-fast digital economy but forgot to update the humans running it.
The simple truth is bankers are asking for 5-Day Banking not for comfort, but because humans — unlike machines — need a restart.

For #5DaysBankingNow
𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐝⚖️
Bankers across the country have been waiting for years for the implementation of a 5-day work week.
A demand that was already agreed upon but continues to be delayed without justification.
This delay has come at a heavy cost: rising burnout, deteriorating mental health, strained family lives, and a workforce pushed beyond reasonable limits.
Bankers have consistently delivered results, supported economic growth, and stood strong during crises yet their basic right to work-life balance remains unfulfilled.
As we step into 2026, it’s time to move from promises to action. Mental well-being, family time, and dignity at work cannot be postponed any longer.
#5DaysBanking is not a luxury it is a necessity.
The wait must end now.

In the era of Digital India when smart banking should be the mark of VIKSIT BHARAT we are still following back dated idea of 6 days Banking. Long pending demand of #5DayBankingNow
should be implemented immediately unconditional.
When the entire world is moving towards 4 days a week, only we are deprived of the much needed 5 days banking… RBI, state government, insurance sector is having 5 days a week.. It’s high time that bankers should also be given 5 days a week… #5DayBankingNow
