Banks in India may remain open only 5 days a week

The United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) has sought that working days for banks remain five days a week only, also that employees get 2 days weekly off. At present, bank employees get off on Sundays, and second and fourth Saturdays. They also get holidays on festivals, and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) prepares the holiday list. Online services, however, remain functional on holidays as well.

The demand for a 5-day work week first came after the policy was implemented in the Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) of India, in May 2021.

The Finance Ministry of India had earlier informed that they have no objection to the UBFU's demand for a five-day work week for bank employees.
