Bankers keep India connected 24×7.
But behind every transaction, target and deadline is a human being, with a family, responsibilities and a life beyond the branch.
A 5-day week was agreed in March 2024, with bankers accepting longer working hours from Monday to Friday.
The demand is reasonable. The commitment is proven. The delay is difficult to justify.
Implement 5-Day Banking now.

#5DayBankingNow
5 Days Banking is not a luxury. It is a long-pending demand.
PLI is not a privilege for a few. It is the reward of every banker’s contribution.
11 September — Stand together. Speak together. Strike together.

1. Banking is not a public service, the defination says itself a commercial organisation. Bank provides service only to its customers not public, to gain profit.
2. No one is stoping the youth to clear the recruitment exam, join a bank and work 24x7 without participating in strike, clearly begging isn't working.
3. If you are a non credit customer, there is barely any need to go for conventional banking, almost all of your service demands can be fulfilled by mobile app, internet banking, ATMs. If you are not so tech savvy there are Customer Service Points, Aadhar ATMs for you.
4. If government is so concerned about public convenience why don't they provide salary to public sector bankers from Consolidated Fund of Union Budget rather than including it in bank's operating cost and hire 4x bankers to run banks 24 hr all 365 days?
The United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) will hold a nationwide strike on September 11, 2026, over the delay in implementing a five-day banking week, differences over performance-linked incentive (PLI) schemes, and several other pending demands, including pension-related issues.
