India’s banking sector has formally proposed declaring all Saturdays as official holidays, according to confirmation from the Union Finance Ministry in Parliament today.
Responding to queries about the Indian Banks Association (IBA) seeking the implementation of a five-day work week, Minister of State for Finance, Bhagwat Karad, affirmed that the IBA had indeed submitted a proposal to this effect.
Since 2015, banks in India have observed public holidays on the second and last four Saturdays of every month. The demand for a five-day workweek has been a prolonged one, particularly from public banks.
