Download Request for Five-Day Work Week in India Post (Post Office) in PDF

The All India Savings Bank Control Employees Union (AISBCEU) has put forth a compelling request to the Department of Posts, urging the declaration of a five-day workweek. In a formal letter addressed to Shri Vineet Pandey, Secretary [P], Department of Posts, the union articulates the need for this change, highlighting several critical points.


The proposal underscores the essential role played by postal employees, especially during challenging times like the COVID-19 pandemic, where they have continued to provide essential services across the nation. Despite their dedication, the current six-day workweek model poses challenges, particularly concerning administrative processes and employee welfare.


Drawing parallels with other government departments and banking institutions, the AISBCEU emphasizes the widespread adoption of a five-day workweek. They point out that the operational hours of post offices often clash with administrative offices' closures, hindering efficient service delivery. Furthermore, the union highlights the banking sector's transition to a five-day workweek, citing its impact on postal transactions and technical support availability.


In light of technological advancements such as core banking and increased reliance on online services, the union argues that the necessity for physical visits to postal counters has diminished. They advocate for aligning work practices with modernized service delivery methods and promoting a healthier work-life balance for postal employees.


The proposal from the AISBCEU resonates with the broader goal of enhancing efficiency and employee well-being within India Post. By adopting a five-day workweek or implementing leave on the second and fourth Saturdays, the union believes that postal employees can better serve the public while enjoying improved work-life harmony.


The letter concludes with a request for favorable consideration of their proposal, awaiting the Department of Posts' response.


Signed: B. Vimala Rani,

General Secretary,

AISBCE Union.
