AIPNBOA GS addresses PNB Bank Employees, Read what he said about New Transfer Policy and Watch Video
Shri Dilip Saha, General Secretary of the All India Punjab National Bank Officers’ Association (AIPNBOA), addressed PNB officers on March 24, 2025, following widespread confusion and unrest after the strike was withdrawn. The strike was initially planned for March 28 and 29, 2025, in protest against PNB’s new transfer policy, which required officers to serve 3 years in a branch, 6 years in a circle, and 9 years in a zone. Officers across India strongly opposed this policy and demanded its cancellation.
In response to employee concerns, AIPNBOA announced a strike but later withdrew it on March 20, 2025, after accepting a modified transfer policy from the bank. As per the revised policy, officers will now serve 3 years in a branch and 7 years in a circle, while the zone-wise tenure rule has been removed. However, many officers are still unhappy as they had demanded a complete rollback of the transfer policy.
Amid the growing dissatisfaction, Shri Dilip Saha released a video on YouTube, explaining the reasons behind his decision to accept the revised policy and withdraw the strike. His statement has received mixed reactions, with some officers welcoming the change while others continue to demand a complete cancellation of the new transfer policy.
In the video, he said that there are a lot of deficit circles in Punjab National Bank such as Murshidabad, Nadia (West Bengal) and some circles are in High Demand. This policy will address this issue and officers who are stuck in one place will get a chance of relocation. What you think about this, let us know in the comment section below.
