#BLACKSUNDAY | 27 SEPTEMBER Welcome to “Digital India”, where UPI works 24×7, digital banking works round the clock, and yet bankers are summoned to work on Sunday. Most developed economies follow a #5DayBanking . India leads in digital payments, but apparently still needs the banker’s chair occupied on Sunday. For years, bankers served during Demonetisation , COVID-19 and countless national programmes. Ask for 5-Day Banking, and the file moves slowly. You can open branches on # Sunday, but you cannot silence the demand for #5DayBankingNow @SushantBSinha @news24tvchannel @ShivaniV2901 @ravish_journo @awasthis @khurpenchh @CNBC_Awaaz @TNNavbharat @ANI

PSBs r not “COOL" ? they’re always on their toes,handling massive footfalls of countless Govt schemes. All GEN want better tech & faster service. Ownership isn’t the issue. Technology, manpower & fair workplace are.We want no favours but FAIRNESS & EQUALITY #5DayWeekandFairPLI

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

जो साथी यह सोचकर संगठन का खुलकर साथ नहीं देते कि प्रबंधन क्या सोचेगा, विशेषकर उनके लिए यह ट्वीट समर्पित है। निष्ठा छुपाने की नहीं, निभाने की चीज़ है। #AIBOC #Unity #Trust #Loyalty @nilesh_pawar15 @GaletinageshG @sanjaybpi @ShvetangT @AbhishekBOIOA @ravindra0522 @Ashurules09

Deeply saddened by the unfortunate demise of Shri Bishal Brata Roy, a newly recruited DRO at Bank of Baroda. This tragic incident highlights the importance of continuously reviewing workplace conditions, employee well-being, and support systems in the banking sector. The time calls for constructive introspection on training, staffing levels, workload management, transfer policies, mental health support, and employee-friendly HR practices. A strong banking system must be built not only on performance, but also on the well-being, dignity, and professional growth of its workforce. Heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family. #BankingSector #EmployeeWelfare #MentalHealth #WorkplaceWellbeing

A very pertinent observation by @TamalBandyo ji. Transparency in promotions is not merely an HR ideal—it is central to morale, credibility, and institutional integrity. When processes lack clarity and uniformity, it inevitably impacts motivation and trust at all levels. As stakeholders in the system, we strongly believe that well-defined, objective, and transparent promotion frameworks are essential for sustaining both performance and fairness in all PSBs. This is an area that deserves serious, system-wide introspection and reform. @aiboc_in

A rested workforce serves the public better. With staff shortages and rising stress, 5-day banking is a service-quality issue, not a “perk.” UFBU has pursued this since 2015; IBA has recommended it to the Government (MoU 07-12-2023), and it’s included in the 12th Bipartite/9th Joint Note (08-03-2024), pending clearances. Let’s finish what’s already agreed. #Implement5DayBanking @FinMinIndia @DFS_India @PMOIndia @ChiefIba

We all are abreast about the severe and widespread passenger disruption caused by recent mass cancellation of @IndiGo6E flights. It implies a failure rooted in operational and managerial shortcomings and provides a powerful, real-time warning about the risks of over-reliance on concentrated private power in essential services. When a dominant private player, even in compliance-related areas, suffers a systemic failure, the resulting crisis exposes a national vulnerability. This demonstrates that profit orientation in vitally important sectors often overshadows public service viz a viz national interest. On similar backdrop, the implications for the banking sector are direct and critical. Just as a private airline's internal lapse can paralyze nationwide travel, the complete handover of the financial system to profit-driven entities through mass privatization poses a grave risk to economic stability and social equity. This is why Public Sector Banks (PSBs) are indispensable. Unlike private entities, PSBs operate with an explicit mandate for social responsibility and national development, ensuring that they are answerable and accountable to nation. The Indigo episode is a stark reminder that there is urgent need to vigorously protect and strengthen our Public Sector Banks being indispensable pillars for safeguarding the economic welfare of the common citizen and ensuring protection of the nation’s interest. #Indigo
