Based on the consensus arrived at between the IBA representing management of the banks and unions/associations representing bank employees, demands of bank unions which have been met by the Government since 2014 till now include inter-alia:

(i) Improvement in family pension to 30% without any cap.

(vii) No objection of Government to various Bipartite Settlements & Joint Notes, which include inter-alia, payment of arrears, revised salary, allowances to serving officers and revised pension and arrears to existing pension optees who have retired during the relevant Bi-partite periods.

As regards bank unions demand for immediate commencement of wage negotiations on Charter of Demands, Government has advised all Public Sector Banks (PSBs) vide letter dated 20.1.2023, that they may initiate the negotiation process for next wage revision.
