Dear Friends, At a time when individual approaches are being made asking officers to change their Association membership, let us remember one simple truth An Association is judged not by promises, but by its work FBOIOA has consistently stood with officers — at the negotiating table, in difficult situations, in legal forums and in their everyday lives 🔹 *Strong Representation* – regular CCC, Welfare Committee, BPC and other appropriate forums where officers’ issues are pursued 🔹 *Tangible Outcomes* – NPS Fund Manager choice, perquisite-tax reimbursement, FBOIOA Sahaay extending interest free advance, enhanced Rs 3 lakh Death Relief Fund and continuous pursuit of service-related issues 🔹 *Protection & Legal Support* – assistance in disciplinary matters, defence support and legal intervention wherever representation alone is not enough 🔹 *Member Welfare* – guest houses, medical support, family activities, sports, health and social initiatives. 🔹 *Member Connect* – FBOIOA Connect and regular grassroots engagement to remain connected with officers 🔹 *Democratic & Accountable Organisation* – elected leadership, regular Triennial General Body Meetings and institutional continuity. Our strength is not one individual.Our strength is our members. Time may change. Challenges may evolve. But our fundamental commitment remains unchanged — MEMBERS FIRST Don’t be influenced by a message or AI video.Don’t decide on a personal approach Look at the WORK. Look at the RECORD. Look at the STAND. FBOIOA — For Members. With Members - At Every Step OUR STRENGTH IS OUR UNITY OUR PURPOSE IS MEMBERS’ WELFARE OUR IDENTITY IS FBOIOA

Dear All, We know what the last 48 hours have felt like. We all worked through Sunday, after making our preparations, sacrifices and commitments for the three-day strike. We stood ready to take the struggle forward with determination. And then, at the very last moment, came the news of the deferment. Let us be honest with ourselves: the disappointment is deep, the frustration is genuine and the anguish is understandable. After mobilising the organisation, preparing our members and mentally bracing ourselves for three days of industrial action, it is only natural that many bankers feel let down, unsettled and angry. We will not brush those sentiments aside. We will not ask anyone to celebrate. And we will certainly not tell our members that they have no right to question what happened. They have every right to ask questions. At the same time, let us look calmly and objectively at what has actually moved forward. *Five-Day Banking*: A high-level IBA–UFBU committee is now proposed to be constituted immediately to work specifically on declaring the remaining Saturdays as holidays, examine alternatives and arrive at a solution at the earliest. *The issue has moved from an agreement awaiting approval (since 30 minths) to a defined institutional mechanism for resolution*. Let us be absolutely clear: a committee is not a notification. A commitment is not implementation. And Five-Day Banking is not yet a reality. But yes, *the issue has moved forward in a progressive direction rather than remaining at the routine stage of “under consideration*”. *PLI & Residual Issues*: Discussions on modification of the PLI framework and the long-pending residual issues arising from the 8 March 2024 Settlement/Joint Note have also been brought into a bilateral framework for resolution. *And to every Banker who partipcated in strike on 11th September and worked on Sunday* — your effort was not meaningless. Your presence, sacrifice and commitment were part of the collective mobilisation of lakhs of employees and officers. *That mobilisation is precisely what gave the necessary push to these issues and brought them firmly onto the negotiating table*.It's not about one day wage its about making the issue alive and compelling them back to the negotiation table. The strike has been deferred, not abandoned. UFBU has itself stated that future organisational action will be reviewed based on the progress achieved. So, let us not lose heart. We may be disappointed today. We may be angry. We have every right to seek clarity. But let our disappointment make us more vigilant, not divided; more determined, not discouraged. Our demands remain unchanged. Our vigilance remains unchanged. Our unity remains unchanged. *We will watch the progress closely. We will judge developments by implementation, not merely assurances. And we will act collectively and appropriately based on the progress achieved*. UFBU leadership understands the sentiments on the ground and is equally conscious of the responsibility to hold every commitment to account. *The struggle does not end with deferment*. *The real test now is time-bound implementation of 5 Day Banking* With regards, Nilesh Pawar General Secretary, FBOIOA

Strike Deferred

Om Shanti 🙏
