There will be a bumper increase in salary

Along with five days banking, the Indian Banks Association and bank employee unions have agreed on an annual salary hike of 17 per cent.

The bank officers’ association said that the new pay scale has been determined by combining dearness allowance (DA) of 8088 points and additional burden on it. Under the new agreement, all women employees will be allowed to take one day’s sick leave per month without giving a medical certificate. Along with this, it can be encashed for up to 255 days on the death of an employee at the time of retirement / during service. The report said that the government can also take a big decision on this.

This change happened in 2015

It is worth noting that in the year 2015, the government had declared second and fourth Saturdays as bank holidays. Bank unions are asking to implement 5-day working in banks like LIC. After bank employees get the gift of two days weekly off, their working hours can be increased.
