Dear Comrades,

The fight for Five-Day Banking must not be seen merely as a struggle for implementation of an agreement that has remained pending for more than 30 months. This is a fight for our existence, our dignity, our families and our fundamental right to a humane working life.

Public Sector Bank employees serve far more customers than our private-sector counterparts. Even with private banks accounting for a substantial share of the banking market, it is overwhelmingly the Public Sector Banks and their employees who carry the burden of Government-sponsored schemes, financial inclusion, social-sector banking and the last-mile delivery of public policy.

We work for institutions owned by the people and for a Government that expects us to reach every citizen. We have never shied away from that responsibility. But those who expect us to serve the nation must also recognise one simple truth:

We are not robots. We are not machines. We are not AI tools. We are human beings.

We have families waiting for us, children who need our time, parents who need our care, and lives beyond targets, reviews, late-night meetings and relentless workplace pressure.

We are not asking for privilege. We are asking for dignity, balance and justice.

The growing culture of excessive working hours, constant pressure and an increasingly toxic work environment cannot become the new normal. Five-Day Banking is one important step towards restoring humanity to our workplaces.

Save the banker. Save the banking family. Respect the commitment already made.

Five-Day Banking is not a luxury.
It is not an unreasonable demand.
It is a just demand whose time has come.

Let us stand together, for ourselves, for our families and for the generations of bankers who will come after us.

Five-Day Banking is For Dignity. For Family. For a Humane Workplace.

March ahead with courage and unity for the three-day strike from 28th to 30th September and make it a resounding success. No fear, no threat and no intimidation can weaken our collective resolve. Officers and employees stand together , we are all strikers in this historic struggle.

Bank employees are not seeking a favor but rather the fulfillment of the agreed 5-day banking week as per established norms.

The success of the 11 September All India Bank Strike has strengthened our resolve.

The next phase calls for even greater unity and participation:

28–30 September 2026 — Three-Day Continuous Strike.

Our demands for 5-Day Banking and withdrawal of the unilateral, discriminatory PLI scheme remain firmly before us.

Comrades, let us stand united. Every voice, every participation and every act of solidarity matters.

The agreed 5-day banking week is not just a demand; it embodies respect for the hard work bank employees do every day. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia https://t.co/yBltVABTrp

5-Day Banking was agreed in March 2024, with longer weekdays accepted in return.

The commitment was made. The implementation is overdue.

Implement #5DayBankingNow

Ideal direction: banking should come to customer—not customer routinely come to branches. Banks already have digital platforms where almost every service is available online. So, what is the need of branches on Saturdays? Instead, strengthen digital support & AI

Five-day banking is not just a demand it is a long-pending reform. It will provide better work-life balance to bank employees while allowing the banking sector to modernise its working model.

High attrition rates among young officers are driven by work-life imbalance. Retain top talent by modernizing working conditions! 📉🚶‍♂️

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
