4-day/40 hours work week: Amid reports that the Modi government may introduce four days working week, the Centre has made its stance clear on it. Union Labour Minister Santosh Gangwar in the Lok Sabha has denied any such move by the government. He said there is no such plan to introduce four-day work week system for central government offices. “Presently, there is no such proposal to introduce four days a week or 40 hours a week for Central Government officials,” he said.

He further mentioned in his written reply to the House that working days/ Holiday/ working hours are recommended by respective Central Pay Commissions. "It is informed that the working days/ Holiday/ working hours in administrative offices of Central Government of India are recommended by the respective Central Pay Commissions. Based on the fourth pay commission recommendation, five days a week and eight and half hours working per day in civil administrative offices of Government of India was introduced," he said.
Union Labour Minister Santosh Gangwar, however, said that the 7th Central pay Commission has recommended that the status quo may be maintained.
Based on the fourth pay commission’s recommendations earlier, the Centre had introduced a five-day work week. The primary objective was to give more leisure time to the employees which leads to better work-life balance and also improves their efficiency.
