Did You Know – Public Sector Banks Officially Should Not have any Lunch Breaks

In response to a RTI query by Kamal Pareek to State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur, the bank has replied that there is No defined Timing for Lunch Break at Public Sector Banks.

The bank is supposed to work from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM without any lunch break on all working days.

The bank officials should take turns for lunch so that the bank normal transactions are not interrupted between above working hours.

Unfortunately that is what the rule says, but visit any Public Sector bank and you can see board stating Lunch Hours and all the counters are closed at that time.

With this RTI information, you can protest at the bank and need to wait for the Lunch break to finish.
