In a letter written to Indian Banks' Association (IBA), the financial services department of the finance ministry said it should look into issues, particularly employment of retired bank staff and payment of remuneration and instruct the banks suitably at the earliest.
"In the event of extra business hours implemented to cope up with the situation, banks may require making deployment plan of staff on shift basis so that the same person does not work for continuous long hours," it said.
Praising commendable work done by the banking fraternity, it said banks may plan and support the officers and employees working in late hours, particularly the safety and security of women employees, with arrangements for food and conveyance.
