A call to observe National General Strike on 2nd September 2016 against the continued anti-labour polices of the Central Government and their proposals of anti-worker reforms. All India Bank Employees Association will be demanding a) Rate of interest on Savings to be increased b) Agri. Sector to be financed at lower rate of interest. The Public Sector Banks in our country have huge amount of deposits of common man but the rate of interest given on these deposits is negligible. From AIBEA, we strongly demand to increase rate of interest on these deposits. The farmers in our country are suffering from drought and financing to them is also not upto their satisfaction and also on higher rate of interest. Looking to the problems being faced by the farmers, from AIBEA, we demand to make finance available to the farmers easy and also at the lower rate of interest enabling them to survive as we see that most of them are committing suicides failing to overcome their difficulties.
