Dear Sir
Re BANKING SECTOR REFORMS
You must have read in papers that the Finance Minister has announced 7 point plan called INDRADHANUSH for revival of public sector banks on 14.08.2015. These action points/ plans when implemented will have far reaching impact on functioning, ownership and set up of public sector banks in the coming years.
2. Major points of plan are as under
(a)Appointment of Managing Director/ Chairman of PSB from private sector. Accordingly, P.S.Jaykumar, 53 year old CEO and Managing Director, Value Home Private Limited has been appointed as new chief of Bank of Baroda. Appointment of CEOs in other PSBs will happen soon. Similarly, MDs/ Non- Executive Chairman from private sector have been appointed in other 5 banks.
(b) Bank Board Bureau (BBB) will be constituted which will start functioning from 1.04.2016. It will perform functions of appointments at senior level in PSBs, coordination with boards of PSBs in formulating business strategy and it is likely be converted in holding company for PSBs later.
(c)De- Stressing plan to reduce NPAs in 5 identified sectors like steel, highways, power etc.
(d) Allocation of capital
(e) New frame work of key performance indicators
(g) Higher performance bonus for MDs/ CEOs
(h) ESoPs for top Management
As a retiree organisation we shall keep our finger crossed to closely watch the development because changes likely to come in basic character of public sector may adversely affect interest of retirees. Now profitability will be the major indictor of banks and all other parameters including social banking witness in last 45 years will be next.
With Regards
Yours Sincerely
( S.C.JAIN )
