New bank rules: A few days ago, an update was issued for the banks; now, again, big relief news has come for the bank employees (bank employees update). For many days, the employees of the banks were waiting for this update, because it is related to their work and holidays. For a long time, the employees were demanding 5 days of work in a week and 2 days leave (leave rules in banks). Now a big decision has been taken on this. This decision is important for every bank employee.

As soon as this agreement is implemented, there will be fun-

Indian Banks Confederation (IBA) and the unions of bank employees (bank employees' holidays) have already reached an agreement on the issue of working only 5 days a week in banks. Now, as soon as the government and the RBI (Reserve Bank of India) approve, this rule will also be implemented. This will bring fun to the bank employees.

Know how far the issue has reached-

Banks already have holidays on every Sunday and every second and fourth Saturday of every month. The government has not taken any action in this regard yet, nor has it issued any official statement. Bank employees are eagerly waiting for this agreement to be approved. However, bank unions and employees are also demanding this. This issue is currently between the employees and the IBA (Indian Bank Association).

The government can take this decision -

If there is a consensus between the government, IBA, and RBI (RBI latest update), then the government can approve the rule of 5 days' work in a week in banks (RBI 5-day working rule in banks). Employees hope that giving relief to bank employees, the rule of 5 days work in a week and 2 days holiday (bank leaves new rules) can be implemented in banks anytime now.

This will be the timing of banks -

At present, banks are open for a total of 7 hours from 10 am to 5 pm. If the rule of working 5 days a week (5-day working rules in banks) is approved, then they will remain open from 9:45 am to 5:30 pm (banks' new timing rules). Overall, the time of banks will increase by 45 minutes. Instead of getting two days' rest in a week, bank employees will have to work 45 minutes more every day.

Employees are making this demand -

Giving relief to bank employees from the government, the rule of second and fourth Saturday leave was implemented in banks (bank employees leave rules) 10 years ago in the year 2015. After this, the expectations of the employees increased even more, and the demand for permission to work 5 days a week (Bank 5 Days Working Rule) started being made. Since then this demand has been going on.
