A silent crisis is unfolding in India’s public sector banks (PSBs). It’s not about toxic assets or cyber fraud—but burnout. Behind the counters of these institutions, employees are exhausted, overburdened, and chronically understaffed. Branches that once operated with six or seven staff members are now often reduced to three or four, despite a sharp rise in workload. The result is not only operational stress but a growing human toll.
In recent years, multiple cases of suicides among bank employees have sent shockwaves through the sector. These are not isolated tragedies. They reflect an alarming pattern: an institutional environment marked by neglect, excessive workload, and psychological strain. What began as a management issue has now become a matter of human rights—an instance of systemic violence through institutional apathy.
