SBI Mulls Working on Sundays to Improve Efficiency - Views and
Counter Views

by
Rajesh Goyal
We are starting this new column as we have found that bankers
have few avenues to express their views. We intend to start a new
page whenever some news or views come up discussions which directly affect the
bankers. The views expressed here will help the union leaders
to know the pulse of the bankers and if message reaches the management they may
also like to change their views. Today's topic is "SBI Mulling Working on
Sundays to Improve Efficiency". In case you have not read this news,
please
CLICK HERE.
Personally speaking I am not in favour of this move.
However, I have always been in favour of few branches being opened on Sundays
but only in big cities. There is no need for opening all or
majority of branches on Sundays / Saturdays as world wide banks are closed
on Saturdays and Sundays. This system has worked very well across
the world. Thus, we should also have five days week with lots of
ATMs. However, each Bank may keep one branch open on Saturdays
and Sundays in State capitals only.

Similarly for bigger metro cities (like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkatta, Chennai), small banks may keep one branch
open for urgent day to day transactions, whereas big banks like SBI, PNB, BoB
may keep five to six branches opened on Saturdays and Sundays in such cities.
In such branches only deposit and withdrawal of cash facility should be
available. With CBS system in place, they should cater to
urgent needs of the customers across the city. Banks may also
charge additional nominal transaction fee for transactions on such days as to
discourage unnecessary crowding of branches on holidays. I still
remember the days when in Delhi, branches were having staggered holidays.
There used to be total chaos on Sundays in the residential colony branches,
whereas on other days the footfall was far less.
We hope bankers will come forward and express their views
in the discussions column provided below. Do you support SBI
chairman for this move ? PLEASE GIVE ONLY
PRECISE AND RELEVANT COMMENTS.
