The revision, applicable with effect from November 1, 2012, will benefit employees and officers in public sector banks, old private sector banks and a few foreign banks. The 15% hike would put an extra burden of Rs 4,725 crore on banks, IBA chairman T M Bhasin told reporters here.
"The 15% wage revision would cost banks Rs 4,725 crore as incremental salary and allowances in a year. If superannuation cost is included, then the total burden would be around Rs 8,370 crore," Bhasin said.

As a prudent measure, banks have been making provisions for wage hike for the past few years. For officers, the pay has been revised from existing range of Rs 14,500-Rs 52,000 to Rs 23,700-Rs 85,000.
A special allowance for officers ranging from 7.75-11% of basic pay along with applicable dearness allowance has been introduced.

According to the new pact, a special allowance for workmen at 7.75% of basic pay along with applicable dearness allowance has also been introduced. Bhasin said arrears to the workmen will be given immediately and for officers' within 4-6 months. The bank employees will soon get holidays on the second and fourth Saturdays.
