Bank Employees Salary Hike: There is good news for government bank employees. Indian Banks Association (IBA) and unions have agreed on a wage settlement to increase the salaries of government employees. Indian Banks Association (IBA) and unions have agreed to 17 percent salary revision for 5 years. This salary increase was pending from November 1, 2022 and MoU has also been signed for this.
What are the main points of the decision?
Among the benefits that will be given under the signing of the salary agreement, 17 percent salary increase will be applicable from 1.11.2022. In this, there will be benefit of 3 percent loading on Basic + DA. Along with pension revision, the rule of 5 days working will be applicable. Now this matter is in the court of the Finance Ministry.

AIBOC expressed happiness
After the agreement with IBA regarding 17 percent increase in salary, pension revision has also been agreed upon. The matter regarding the demand for leave on every Saturday is still stuck and the note has not been signed. However, AIBOC has said that it has obtained a commitment to implement 5 days working (five day banking) before giving the final touch to the joint note settlement and this is on record. AIBOC has agreed to this agreement especially considering IBA’s assurance on 5 days working and relief for pensioners. Despite the salary percentage and weightage being less than expected, it is a matter of happiness for 8.50 lakh bank employees of the country.
