Team Sreekumar makes Strong Promises! Read Election Manifesto
Team Sreekumar has released a strong manifesto related to the upcoming AIPNBOA Elections 2025-28. The elections are scheduled to be held on 23 November 2025. AIPNBOA President Sreekumar has promised to improve the work-life balance of employees, and the manifesto contains everything the officers desire.
Team Sreekumar’s Manifesto
#1) Ending Late Evening Meetings: AIPNBOA President Shri Sreekumar has promised to put a complete stop to late evening meetings so that officers can maintain a healthy work-life balance. Currently, in Banks, conducting late evening meetings has become increasingly common. This adds to extra pressure on employees and disrupts the work-life balance.
#2) No Unauthorised Day-End Checks: Shri Sreekumar has assured that unauthorised and unnecessary day-end checks in branches will be stopped to reduce pressure on officers.
#3) No Working on Bank Holidays: He has promised to end the practice of making officers work on bank holidays, ensuring that employees receive their rightful rest days. Right now, holiday working has also become common in public sector banks. Officers are forced to open branches on Sunday and other holidays. This severely impacts the work-life balance of officers and should be stopped.
#4) No 9-Year Zonal Transfer Policy: Shri Sreekumar has clearly committed that the 9-year zonal transfer policy will not be implemented. The officers’ transfer policy will be improved to be more balanced and officer-friendly. The previous year, Punjab National Bank introduced a new transfer policy, wherein officers who had completed 7 years of service at a circle were transferred to a new circle. This severely disrupted the social life of bank employees, and now Sreekumar has promised to improve the transfer policy.
#5) HR Benefits for PNB Employees:
- Medical Aid: Revision of medical aid based on the revised basic pay under the latest Joint Note.
- Implementation of Pending Items as per the 9th Joint Note:
- a. Extension of the periodical health check-up scheme to all officers, irrespective of age.
- b. Reimbursement for annual eye tests for all officers.
- Lease Rental: Enhancement of lease rental limits to bring them on par with other Public Sector Banks (PSBs).
- Canteen Subsidy: Enhancement of the canteen subsidy to match present-day costs.
- Entertainment Allowance: Revision of the entertainment allowance to meet present-day requirements.
- TA Bill Issues at SWCC: Sreekumar promises to take up all cases of wrongful deductions, non-sanction of eligible TA bills, and ensure the timely approval of every claim.
- Rationalisation of Udaan Portal & Fair PAF Scoring for officers.
- Holiday Homes: Ensuring the opening of more holiday homes in prominent locations.
