It is noteworthy that the half-day banks will operate only on the first, third, and fifth Saturdays. From september 2015 onwards, nationalized banks across the country were notified of a holiday on the second saturday and fourth saturday of the month. It is to be noted that after this announcement, banks were operating for half a day only on the first and third Saturdays.
In this situation, the bank employees have been demanding that every saturday be a holiday for the past few months. It is worth noting that the central government was considering this request. Recently, the bank employees and the central government had a discussion about this, and in this discussion, it is said that there was a request to give a public holiday to the banks on Saturdays.
But at the same time, it is said that there will be a change in the working hours from monday to friday and there are plans to increase the working hours by about one hour every day.
