Banks to remain closed on 2nd, 4th Saturdays from September 1,2015

Aug, 2015


NEW DELHI: Bringing cheers to lakhs of bank employees, the government has accepted the long-pending demand of workers to declare second and fourth Saturdays holidays, with effect from September 1.

"The notification regarding Saturday off has come. It is effective from September 1," All India Bank Employees' Association ( AIBEA) General Secretary C H Venkatachalam told PTI.

At present, all PSU and private sector banks work half-day on Saturdays.

"This is a welcome move. This will be a big relief to employees and I hope that this will improve the productivity of employees," he said.

In case of a month having five Saturdays, banks will be closed only on second and fourth Saturdays.

It is foolish to close banks in residential colonies on saturdays.As it is bad with half day work on saturday.

most employed people have time to go to banks on saturday in residential colonies.

what do they do now? take half days off on working days for bank work?

Bank is only for welfare of bank employees and not for those who use them
