Sucheta Ma’am, please consider this perspective as well:
The Central Government has followed a 5-day working week since 1985, almost from the time you began your distinguished journalism career in 1984.
Central & many State Government offices, NABARD, SEBI, stock exchanges and several other service-oriented institutions already function on a 5-day week. Banking employees are only seeking the same reasonable work-life balance.
Customer convenience need not suffer. Even today, some banks operate Sunday-working branches with staggered weekly offs. The same principle can easily provide selected Saturday-working branches, with their staff getting an alternative weekly off, say on Monday. Solutions for genuine customer requirements are entirely possible.
More importantly, banking today is available 24×7 through ATMs, UPI, mobile banking, internet banking, NEFT/RTGS and other digital channels. But behind this round-the-clock banking are human beings who increasingly find there is virtually no disconnect from work. Bank employees are facing growing workloads, constant connectivity and burnout. A proper weekend is not merely about an additional holiday, it is about mental well-being and returning to work more productive and efficient.
Bankers ensure 24×7 banking for the country. They too deserve a genuine weekend, like employees of other major institutions.
We are united in our demand for the 5-day week; let’s turn the agreement into reality without further delay. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia teapawt.net/rupamsmail/status/2101…
Every 24x7 banking service has a banker behind it and a family waiting at home. We agreed to the 5-day week in March 2024 and accepted longer weekday hours. The regulator, the insurer and the Government all work 5 days.
Our demand is just. The delay is not.

Every day bank staff work on Saturdays is a day taken away from their families; the 5-day week is necessary for balance. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia teapawt.net/aiboc_in/status/210149…
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.

By holding back on the agreed 5-day banking week, the government continues to ignore a proven request from the hard working community of bank employees. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia teapawt.net/rupamsmail/status/2101…

Our responsibilities have risen significantly, so it's more important than ever to finally recognize bank staff with 5-day banking. #5DayBankingNow #AIBOC @PMOIndia teapawt.net/rupamsmail/status/2101…

It is high time the Govt respects bank employees by putting the 5-day week into practice. #5DayWeekandFairPLI #AIBOC @PMOIndia teapawt.net/aiboc_in/status/209387…
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
Collective bargaining was designed for a reason; let's not erode efforts to align PLI benefits for each bank employee. #5DayWeekandFairPLI #AIBOC @PMOIndia teapawt.net/aiboc_in/status/209387…
