    2. Aap ab bhi join kr lo na aapko bhi five day week lena hai ab to….. Bich me tang adane wale bahut hote hai

  2. When all other Govt offices are working for five days only bankers are suffering. Hence it needs to be corrected. Since alternate channel of service available for customers shifting for five days a week is feasible

  3. Kuch nahi honewala hai iss survey se. Areh strike ko hone do bhai tab upar walo ko bhi hiladenge.
    Union leaders ko sirf contribution ka paisa khake acche din enjoy kar raha hai.
    Sab kuch bekar

  4. Banks want to do fraud when on holidays… Staff want to run off.. no holidays.. no no.. 365 days open mandate

    1. Mehta Ji lagta hai aap bhi fraud karke chutti wake din hi bhage hoge isiliye sugest kr rhe ho, mehta Ji fraud karne wala to kabhi bhi bhag sakta hai

  5. To have work life balance and customers are using mobile banking services for bank works . There should be right to disconnect on those two days

  6. II nd & 4th Saturday is already off,
    Hence, only Ist & 3rd Saturday working
    is not difficult, which help to those customers, who gets off on Saturday ie MNCs and Corporate Groups
    to complete their Banking work.
    Therefore, it is not advisable for stateway
    5 day’s Banking in the Country.

    1. Bank have already equiped them wirh Digital banking every thing is possible online mode even you can deposit your cash also there are lot of cash deposit kiosk situated in city
      Or phir MNC WALO apne 5 days ko enjoys karain or unko service dene ke liye Bank 7 days open ho, MNC WALO ko bhi CL OR PL milti hai wo chutti lekar Bank mai apna kaam Karwa sakte hai unke liye Bank wale kyon suffer karain

    2. It means MNC may enjoy 5 days working but bankers shouldnt why? And what pending work with banks they have to do,everything may be done online then why MNC employees have to visit Branch if it is so important than take leave and get completed it.

  7. The work pressure is very high. Employees are suffering a lot. They should have a days break in a week. Daikt bankers are working gir more than 12 hrs. 5 days is a must.

  8. In villages already Wednesday is a non working day,so if we allow every Saturday a holiday.it will be 4 days working, where SEVEN DSYS WORKING IS NEEDED.

  9. Why shouldnтАЩt they, all Govt Depts, including RBI works five days, Govt is pushing for digitisation for more transparency so why not. Banks should absolutely should have five days a week and fixed working hours. It will also promote work life balance for bankers.

  10. Bank staff working under immense pressure. So five days working is essential requirement for banking.

  11. 5 day working hona рдЪрд╛рд╣рд┐рдпреЗ, ladies officers working time 10 am to 7 pm hi hona рдЪрд╛рд╣рд┐рдпреЗ

  12. It is very essential in the present generation; otherwise, the attrition rate increases. Already suffering huge shortage and aversion started among the staff which will affect productivity.

  13. рд╕рд╡рд┐рдирдп рдирд┐рд╡реЗрджрди рд╣реИ рдХрд┐ рел рджрд┐рд╡рд╕реАрдп рдмреИрдВрдХрд┐рдВрдЧ рдХреЛ рд╢реАрдШреНрд░ рд╣реА рд▓рд╛рдЧреВ рдХрд┐рдпрд╛ рдЬрд╛рдП

  14. Yes, Bankers also a human. When RBI,LIC, INCOME TAX then why not banks? Already so much pressur on bankers. Work pressure ki wajah se staff resignation or sucide rates increase ho rha h. BP or dipression ho rha h bankers ko.

  15. Five days banking must for bankers also.

    RBI is also having 5 days banking, the regulator of Banks.

    All Govt offices are having 5 days working then why not for banks.

    It is must.

  16. LIC AND OTHER GOVT AGENCIES ARE ENJOYING 5 DAYS. DIGITAL BANKING IS ALSO AVAILABLE. THEN WHAT’S THE ISSUE

  17. All institution like Lic, Gic Etc., and regulators like RBI, SEBI have 5 days a week then what’s the problem with Bank, All Banks claim that digital transactions are 80 to 90 percent of total transactions, then what the reason for modi government not to declare 5 days Banking.

  18. рдЬреБрдиреА рдмрдБрдХ рдкреНрд░рдгрд╛рд▓реА рдЕрдорд▓рд╛рдд рдЖрдгрд╛рд╡реА 11 рддреЗ 2.30 (рджреЛрди рддрд╛рд╕ рд░реЗрдкреЛрд░реНрдЯрд┐рдВрдЧ рд╡ рдердХреАрдд рдХрд╛рдорд╛ рдХрд░реАрддрд╛)

  19. As the banking sector is having all facilities inb Enter net /Mobile banking so 5day banking is write of employees as RBI,LIC etc

  20. Who are the 5% that voted against, just curious. Have the taken advise of L&T chief too seriously about staring g at their spouses?

  21. We do not support this demand. In is technically not so advance particularly villages needs Seven days banking,as this will reduce to four days banking in villages.

    1. I think you are not farmer we worked in villages for almost 12 years we know the working at villages and their demand so donтАЩt overthink we know how to serve farmers

  22. Why are Bank employees running for 5 days banking? CAs also work for all 7 days. If banks will remain closed for 2 days in a week then it will decline economic growth. How will public withdraw money or transfer funds. From ATM only some amount of money can be withdrawn. Banks should remain open for atleast 6 days. Sunday is already holiday.

    1. Banking services are not dependent today on motor n brick branches after complete digitisation, donтАЩt worry no service will have an impact.

    2. There is something called NEFT(unlimited), RTGS(unlimited), IMPS (5 lakh), online banking, mobile banking, Banking Concierge areas, arenтАЩt we heading for cashless economy..!! All under table transactions happen in cash which never comes in the system evading taxes. And Bankers are humans, we donтАЩt want to head backwards if we are looking at having a developed economies like the west. I have last visited a branch abt a year back.

    3. CAs does not take the risk of giving Loans and recovering. They donтАЩt face threats from borrowers. Finally they donтАЩt have financial risk and accountability like us. Earlier Banks were running five and half days it was made to Five days in even weeks and full day during odd weeks did the business drop or increase in even and odd weeks. Economy has outshined compared to earlier years. World is going towards 4 days a week. If CAs are working 7 days a week let them work itтАЩs their wish.

  23. To improve productivity, work life balance, upgraded digital banking facilities available to our beloved customers, hence 5 day banking is indeed need of hoursтЬКЁЯП╗тЬКЁЯП╗ЁЯЩПЁЯП╗ЁЯЩПЁЯП╗

  24. Overburdened staff should hv adequate rest on week end. Otherwise working hours should be strictly followed.

  25. Very very required for bankers because every bankers suffering various health issue cause excess work load

  26. 5-day banking is essential. Do not increase the time limit of 10 to 5 because these days, with so many online banking services, the time limit is meaningless. Increasing the time will increase the work pressure on the employees, so leaders should prevent increasing the working hours.

  27. Need of the hour. DFS and IBA are intentionally dragging the issue without any purpose. UFBU has no voice, simply attending the meetings without any goal or determination

  28. No. It is essential service for the Industries and Public. Tomorrow they will say allow us to work from Home. Can you considered their demand?

  29. It is required just like other financial institutions like LIC,Other. Insurance sectors, RBI, SEBI, stock exchanges etc etc.

  30. Bank people will work more than working hours, observe randomly all branches are opening til 8 or 9 o’clock night, they are not giving care for family, this is must need for working in 5 days banking then only justice to be done for family and work.

  31. I strongly believe that 5 days a week for bankers will save cost & improve efficiency of bankers.

  32. Banks staff should have 5 days working like other industries.Females form large part of banking staff and they need more time to run their families and households.There are alternative channel for services ,they should be used. It does not meet any kind of emergency

  33. Yes
    This facility must be going to bank employees for which they deserve.
    Other financial public sector understanding departments already
    Facilitate and all central government and state government employees also government already given

  34. I strongly believe that 5 days a week for bankers will save cost & improve efficiency of bankers.

  35. It’s the need of the hour. They are overburdened. They need 5 days like other organisations ie lic,rbi etc

  36. Immediately 5 day’s work week should be implemented in banks to maintain work life balance.

  43. Yes definitely needed for work life balance. RBI NABARD SIDBi LIC are all working 5 days a week then why not banks. Customer service will not be affected as there are other digital platforms avaitfor their banking needs.
