@nilesh_pawar15 🏦 5-Day Banking Week — A Long-Pending Reform
Bankers work under intense pressure, extended hours and heavy workloads. A 5-day banking week would improve work-life balance, productivity—without compromising customer service through digital banking and alternate channels.
@nilesh_pawar15 5-day work week isn’t a luxury.
IT, corporates, even many private financial institutions already have it.
Banks handle national financial stability, not casual desk jobs —
burnout here has real consequences.
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
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.
