Chennai: All banks in the state will work normal hours with 50% staff on rotation basis from Monday, August 17. Usual banking services will also be provided.

The state-level bankers committee decided to reduce staff strength and deploy them in rotation following representations from employees who found it difficult to report to work as there was no public transport due to the lockdown.

A public sector bank official said, “We also wanted clarity on the state government’s SOP as its order said all private offices and establishments have been allowed to function with 75% workforce. However, no specific guideline was sent to us (banks).”

The Tamil Nadu government, which has extended the lockdown till August 31, in its last order said the ban on public and private bus transport services, malls, gymnasiums and cinema halls will continue.
