Banking rules – Major changes have been made in the banking rules. If you have bank book then know this important update

 It has been reported that there will be an increase in bank holidays for employees working in banks in India. The news has sparked questions among citizens regarding which days will be affected and whether this will cause problems for the general public. The United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) and Indian Banks' Association (IBA) recently held a meeting in Mumbai to discuss the demands for a 5-day working week with 2 days off. After various discussions, it was decided that the proposal would be sent to the Union Finance Ministry for approval. If approved, banks will only be open from Monday to Friday, with a complete shutdown on Saturday and Sunday. This proposal has raised concerns about potential problems for customers who may need bank services on weekends. However, the bank workers' unions have proposed that banks would remain open for an additional 40 minutes every day to ensure customer service is not affected. The proposal suggests that banks will be open from 9:50 am to 5:30 pm every day from Monday to Friday, with financial transactions available from 10 am to 4 pm. Currently, bank employees have a holiday on the second and fourth Saturday of the month, but under the proposed new rules, every Saturday would be a holiday. Despite the concerns raised by citizens, the bank union officials are confident that customers will not face any issues due to the banks being open during the rest of the week. At present, there has been no official announcement from the Union Finance Ministry on this matter.
