SUNDAY BANKING has happened before, but the context matters.
March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2019 were financial-year-end requirements. November 13, 2016 followed demonetisation. March 26, 2017 involved specific government-tax and year-end clearances.
But 27 September 2026 is different. The Government has ordered all PSU banks and RRBs to function on Sunday immediately before the 28–30 September strike, explicitly citing the need to avoid disruption from the proposed five-day closure.
So the irony writes itself:
When the Government needs banking continuity, Sunday suddenly becomes a working day.
When bankers ask for a five-day week, the same urgency disappears.
You can open the branches on Sunday, but you cannot silence the fight for 5-Day Banking.

A signed settlement must be honoured-not kept waiting.
The 12th Bipartite Settlement explicitly recommends a 5-day banking week. With 24×7 digital banking already powering transactions, it’s time for implementation.
Respect agreements. Respect bankers.
Implement #5DayBankingNow
926 days since the 9th Joint Note.
1,018 days since the December 2023 understanding.
We never asked for the hours free — we offered 40 extra minutes every weekday.
A written agreement should be implemented without delay
