Thank you, Hon’ble Prime Minister, for your appreciation of PSU Banks. The employees and officers in public sector banks are dedicatedly serving the citizens of this country 24/7, despite facing staff shortages and numerous workplace challenges. The employee-to-customer ratio in private banks is significantly higher compared to public sector banks. To secure better working conditions for public sector bankers, an agreement was reached between the IBA and Banking Unions and Associations on 8th March 2024 to introduce a ‘5-day work week’ in banks. We kindly request your esteemed office to intervene and officially declare a ‘5-day work week’ for the banking sector. This will help reduce stress and fatigue thereby improving the productivity of bank employees and enabling them to serve the fellow citizens with renewed enthusiasm.
