I submit some points hereunder highlighting reign of injustice in banks perpetuated by team of officers sitting at the helm of affairs in collusion wit union leaders.
There is practically no stagnation for central government employees as per last pay commission recommendation and as accepted by government of India. There is time bund promotion. Central pay Scale is too long to stagnate any employee at any particular point of scale for two or three years
Why is there stagnation for bank employees particularly when bank is not in a position to accommodate so many candidates in higher scale, when there are fewer vacancies?
For none of fault of senior officers, they are denied promotion as also annual increment. It is really a fun that they are not given even full terminal benefits when they resign at their own.
When banks do not find such senior officers for promotions, bank should not hesitate in accepting resignation of such officers and allow full pension and retirement benefits. Why officers who resign are not allowed pension, leave encashment or refund of accumulated bank's contribution in PF etc. Bank can remove an officer as per its choice but staff cannot leave the job without loosing his rightful terminal benefits.
Officers who have transferred from outside states to North East States were getting so many incentives as per 1984 circular or as per guidelines of IBA as prevalent for central government employees working in other sectors in eighties. Why these incentives have not been revised during last 25 years?
Special allowance fixed Rs.1200/ or Rs.1500/ for specified area is common for all staff posted in North East region. What about additional benefits for those who are transferred from other states to North East?
For outsiders, there was a provision of Rs.1500. p.m. in 1984 when Rs.1500/ was a significant amount compared to prevailing scale of pay for officers at that time. Now even that Rs.1500/ (it should be at least 10000 in view of price rise and scale rise during last 25 years) or 12.5% of pay has been abolished.
Originally North East posting policy was framed for enthusing employees to serve in north eastern based branches for two years and then they were given preferred posting. Unfortunately this holy policy is now misused by greedy and corrupt executives to sideline good officers from their path of earning illegal money and golden gifts.
Incentives of NE posting have also been snatched and left on whims and fancies of executives. Preferred posting after completion of two years tenure also lies on the mercy of top officials. ED or top executives in banks do not have fear in mind in violating the existing policy or misusing the same in the name of bank’s exigencies.
After all what union leaders are doing?
There are lacs of bank employees who are continuously working in rural areas, say for one or two decades or even more.
On the other hand there a few lacs of bank employees who are continuously posted in Metros and Urban areas.
Unfortunately residual a few of employees are facing frequent transfers from one corner to the other corner of the country.
It clears defeats the very purpose behind rural posting policy and NE posting policy framed by government of India. Banks do not hesitate in violating its own transfer policy or promotion policy. Officers posted continuously in rural areas seldom get promotion because their fate depends not on performance but on whims and fancies of Interview panel. Members of Interview in general award marks based on merit of employees on points such as flattery, gifts and welcome kits. Justice is nowhere visible.
After all what union leaders are doing?
Answer is that they are also standing in the same que in which a team of flatterers are standing to get maximum benefit from higher bosses, cream posting, reckless earning through credit lending or waiver of loan without any fear of action from higher bosses and get preferred promotions for their flatterer members if they so like.
Why huge arrear to the amount of two lacs or three or four lacs are being paid to executives as per 9th Bipartite Settlement and only a few thousand to middle management officers considered senior officers. Even peons and junior clerks are getting arrear to the extent of one lac rupees. Even junior officers are getting more. Obviously pay scale fixed for various scales is not based on principals of equality but based on whims and fancies of IBA team and union leaders. Pension optees are getting more and PF optees are getting noting in comparison. Why discriminatory treatment is being allowed by union leaders even in fixation of revised pay in 9th BS, not to speak of discrimination with PF optees desiring to offer for pension.
Are senior officers in middle management so bad they are not fit for promotion, increment, pension and even equal rise in wage revision? If so why are they not given offer of VRS as given in the year 2000?
Why CMDs of various banks then talk of crisis of talented officer in bank and why do they express apprehension for painful future when a good number of officers will retire?
If there is a will there is a way. When government is formed of corrupt persons and that of flatterers, when administration is manned by corrupt and flatterers when judiciary is weak, ineffective, costly and centre of corruption, any one in Government cannot dream of taking step to reduce corruption in the system or to punish corrupt people.
And people who try to move against the main stream gets tired very soon and finally succumb to death.
It is therefore better to say All is Well sir, No problem sir, everything will be o.k. sir, I am there don't worry, I will manage it, I will manage media people, I will manage CBI people and so on. These wordings are a few permanent wording of flatterers.
Media men are not getting any interest or attractive news in the reign of injustice pervading and prevailing in banking industry. A few executives by using their mobile phones using some flatterer Branch Managers ges success in extending credit to unscrupulous borrowers and sacrificing huge amount in compromise and waiver of loan scheme just to earn some illegal money.
Banks assets worth thousands and thousand of crores of rupees are locked and lost in bad borrowers every year whereas government of India, RBI and all regulating agencies remain silent spectators. People have seen how NPA rose 500% this year in Indian Bank but regulating agencies are not ready to accept that similar pain will occur to other banks too in near future. There is in fact none to bell the cat.
Banks management, government of India and RBI loudly say with a sense of pride that Indian Banks are not affected by global slowdown or recession or sub prime crisis but IBA says that banks are not in a position to pay pension to bank employees and hence begging for sharing of pension cost from bank employees.
IBA has filed affidavit in Madras High Court that banks are facing fund crisis and not in a position to pay pension to retirees and hence praying for stay granted by the same court on 24th June 2010 on illegal and unjustified recovery from PF optees agreed in 9th Bipartite settlement .
How much shameful and painful it is that staff of banks who served banks for 30 to 35 years in bank and contributed his entire energy for growth of bank has now to run from pillar to post or knock the door of courts to stop reign of injustice.
Are Banks earning profits by simple exploitation of staff??

Willful Violation of Human Rights and Policies

Media is also in grip of these corrupt elements because media people also like to have more and more money, more and more asset, more and more recognition in time in shortest period as people in other field like. If some one watches various interviews conducted by TV people, he will definitely observe how ruling party biased questions are asked by media men. I have seen during recent past how media men are trying to divide opposition unity in their fight against price in Parliament. Media men in general try to save the VIPs of ruling party somehow or the other. They always try to divert the main topic of national concern to pseudo secularism or inter party rivalry prevailing at regional level among smaller parties. As such media men are not getting any interest in the reign of injustice pervading and prevailing in banking industry. A few executives by using their mobile phones using some flatterer Branch Managers to extend credit to unscrupulous borrowers and sacrificing huge amount in compromise and waiver of loan scheme just to earn some illegal money.

Banking Division is silent spectator of misdeeds of Bank officials, Why Why Why
Government framed policy for posting of bank employees in Villages as also for posting in North Eastern States to promote rural banking and to help development work in rural areas and North Eastern states is more often than not misused. Whenever self interest of an executive is not served by an officer he issue transfer order for him for either remote villages or for critical branches located in North East States Obviously management of banks have always misused this excellent policy to discard non-flatterers and to torture those employees who do not indulge in corrupt practices and who do not implements bad orders of the executives.
RBI or any investigating agency on honest inquiry will find that some officers have been working in villages for two or three decades whereas flatterers of the top officials of the management have been allowed to work in Metros for decades together. When an officer do not provide gifts to General Manager, he is posted in North Eastern States on the plea of Non Performance whereas those who commit fraud or indulge in irregular credits but always provide golden gifts to GMs, DGMs, AGMs in the name of some function either of inauguration or customer’s meeting are allowed to remain in big towns.
Some officers are simply creating bad advances and some others are constrained to recover the bad advances merely to save the corrupt officers from punishment. This is why loans or advances become Sub Standard in one or two years of its disbursement. It is also a bitter fact that such bad advances are concealed by gifting Auditors and inspectors and treated as good advances till the sanctioning officer wither is promoted or get safe exit from the bank. Honest workers are made scapegoat for the misdeeds of big executives.. It is undeniably truth that excellent results exhibited through annual balance sheets are due to devoted work of good performers and it is they who are salvaging banks from the misdeeds of bad officers. As such shining balance sheet of a bank should not give conclusion that the results shown are hard work of top officials sitting in AC rooms but that of field workers who are head of a branch and who is doing hard worker even under acute manpower shortage. In banks manpower is adequately provided only to flatterers even if he has caused banks crores of rupees. Until RBI or CBI catch hold of corrupt executives and punish the evil performers and at the same time award those officers who have been whimsically kept away from promotions and unless good officers are given respectable posting and promotions one cannot imagine of any rise in intrinsic value of any bank
On the contrary PSU banks are facing erosion in intrinsic value due to dirty implementation of apparently good HRD policies. In the name of Interview any employee can be deprived of and denied of promotion. Power makes executive corrupt if the decisions made by them are not transparent and subject to review. Root cause of persistence and promotion of such corrupt officers is due to the bitter fact that even courts fail to provide justice in decades together and this is why management bosses indulge in whimsical promotions, arbitrary transfers and postings.
I request bank officers to send their personal experience and story of corrupt officers to me at dkjain49709@rediffmail.com so that such illustration may be incorporated in PIL to be filed in the court. These information will be helpful in seeking information from bank under Right to Information Act to expose the true colour of officers who have been holding top posts in the bank and who have been getting continuous shelter from Banking division, RBI and Ministry of Finance. The aggrieved officer may also send the real story about them, how they have been cheated by their bosses, how they have been denied promotion and how they have been given always critical posting. After all how long you will bear with injustice in fear of repercussion from higher authorities. One has to come out of imaginary fear and expose the true picture of bad officers. How long meritorious and talented officer will face humiliation and posting against their dignity.
I will come with name of AGM,DGM ,GM,CM and BM and tell the officer community and Government of India how reign of injustice prevails in the banking industry. I need your cooperation in making a strong case against some of CMDs who are recognized as star performers but under the shelter of such CMDs ,their left and right hand officers who themselves are facing CBI charge sheets are exploiting power for self interest.

Health of PSU Banks
Government is constrained to infuse capital in PSU banks year after year to salvage sinking banks or to boost up their capital adequacy ratio. Even World Bank is contemplating to infuse capital in selected banks in India to strengthen these banks. This reveals that PSU banks are actually growing weakness year after year and their balance sheets are nothing but result of window dressing in the style similar to which Satyam Computers applied to boost up image of the company.
PSU Banks are facing continuous erosion in their capital due to dirty policies of the government, politically motivated steps taken by the government and constraint in implementation of good policies. Inter bank interest rate competition, waiver of loan culture, financing based on political compulsions, constraints in recovery of loan from willful defaulters, undue delay in legal proceedings in want of proper judicial reforms, unhealthy HRD policies resulting in promotion of corrupt officers and demotivation of good officers etc are a few reasons which are causing great loss to banks and which has made the bank’s health poor and ultimately which forces government to infuse capital in banks.
It is to be noted here that when politicians take advantage of public money held in banks by resorting to loan melas or waiver of loan culture, bankers take it easy while lending to public. Bankers too do not hesitate in lending to improper companies and individuals with doubtful integrity just for their personal gain. There is no doubt bankers have inculcated wrong practices of flattery in banks. Executives, Branch heads, Regional Heads, Zonal Heads, EDs, CMDs focus on their personal status , personal earning by way of underhand dealings and indulge in flattery to their bosses, ministers, officers in banking divisions. They do not hesitate in taking malafide decisions just to please their bosses. Financing to wrong persons and taking gifts or money in return has become a common feature in banks at all levels.
If bankers do not earn illegal money they cannot please their bosses, government offices and even their juniors. Such honest officers cannot dream of promotion and good posting. As such earning money in credit delivery and sharing the same with bosses has become inevitable for survival in banks with dignity. Those officers who are not versed in this tact or modern art of survival or those who protest wrong financing are either posted at remote places or punished. Such genuinely loyal officers can never imagine of promotion or good posting. This is the main reason that bank officers holding key posts indulge in corrupt practice without caring for health of bank’s assets and this is the reason that intrinsic health of banks in general is not sound and banks always need financial support from government to survive.
But the million dollar question is who will bell the cat when Charter Accountant, officers working in rating agencies, officers in vigilance departments, officers working in bank’s own audit offices, advocates, key regulators all are birds of same feather.

multiple borrowings
There are many such persons in our country who have taken many houses on loan from different banks in the same name or in different name of the family in different bank at different places. Banks have in fact no control over multiple bank accounts, multiple borrowings, multiple title deeds for same house, and multiple tax payers in same family and so on. Extraordinary benefit in interest rates on housing loans, unjustified huge Income tax concessions on loan takers and the most important is positive response in the office of lending bank and their enthusiasm to sanction more and more housing loan are a few reasons behind reckless financing in housing loan segment and continuous increase in home loan activities in the country.
Not only this, even lenders avoid financing in other commercial activities like trade, agriculture, trasport, industry and concentrate only in retail loan segment. Almost all banks have opened specialized branches only to finance in retail sector with special focus on home loan and vehicle loan because retail loan helps in booting overall credit delivery and reducing surplus liquidity profitably instead of parking with RBI at negligible rate.
But there is no justification in giving all benefits to the same family and at the same deprives others (middle class family) only because he does not have adequate repaying capacity and margin to avail home loan from a bank. In our country where 95% of population cannot afford a good house or avail home loan from a bank, policy of liberalized fiancé to purchase house is used by only rich and affluent class.
It is an open secret that in our country there are some persons who are well versed and have all tools in their hand to take advantage of all types of tax benefits, subsidies and relief schemes launched by state or central government in the name of social inclusion and development of the area.
It is also true that these cleaver people get support from all offices and they get preferred services because they know how to handle government employees, how to flatter and how to share income with dealing officers to carry our their activities without any hurdle and it is they who accumulate wealth in very short span of time and eventually become instrumental in framing of policies in the corridor of Ministry of various departments in a government. Even tax official and bank officers flourish when this small segment of shrewd person flourish and this is why fault of policy or fraud in implementation level is not easily detected and by the time some aggrieved person exposes the reality and naked truth of government policy it is either too late or government comes out with same policy in different name, old wine in new bottle.
It is worthwhile to mention here that some private bankers though belatedly have realized the lacuna when they found percentage of Non Performing Assets increasing in Home loan portfolio year after year. But government is totally insensitive to national issues, health of PSU banks and the pain of the common men. It is beyond one’s comprehension as to how RBI or Government of India will actually be able to stop speculative activities in Home Finance.
Not only this, even lenders avoid financing in other commercial activities like trade, agriculture, trasport, industry and concentrate only in retail loan segment. Almost all banks have opened specialized branches only to finance in retail sector with special focus on home loan and vehicle loan because retail loan helps in booting overall credit delivery and reducing surplus liquidity profitably instead of parking with RBI at negligible rate.

It is also true that these cleaver people get support from all offices and they get preferred services because they know how to handle government employees, how to flatter and how to share income with dealing officers to carry our their activities without any hurdle and it is they who accumulate wealth in very short span of time and eventually become instrumental in framing of policies in the corridor of Ministry of various departments in a government. Even tax official and bank officers flourish when this small segment of shrewd person flourish and this is why fault of policy or fraud in implementation level is not easily detected and by the time some aggrieved person exposes the reality and naked truth of government policy it is either too late or government comes out with same policy in different name, old wine in new bottle.
It is worthwhile to mention here that some private bankers though belatedly have realized the lacuna when they found percentage of Non Performing Assets increasing in Home loan portfolio year after year. But government is totally insensitive to national issues, health of PSU banks and the pain of the common men. It is beyond one’s comprehension as to how RBI or Government of India will actually be able to stop speculative activities in Home Finance.

Naxalism and terrorism
Government framed policy for posting of bank employees in Villages as also for posting in North Eastern States to promote rural banking and to help development work in rural areas and North Eastern states. But management of banks have always misused this excellent policy to discard non-flatterers and to torture those employees who do not indulge in corrupt practices and who do not implements bad orders of the executives.
RBI or any investigating agency on honest inquiry will find that some officers have been working in villages for two or three decades whereas flatterers of the top officials of the management have been allowed to work in Metros for decades together. When an officer do not provide gifts to General Manager, he is posted in North Eastern States on the plea of Non Performance whereas those who commit fraud or indulge in irregular credits but always provide golden gifts to GMs, DGMs, AGMs in the name of some function either of inauguration or customer’s meeting are allowed to remain in big towns.
Some officers are simply creating bad advances and some others are constrained to recover the bad advances merely to save the corrupt officers from punishment. This is why loans or advances become Sub Standard in one or two years of its disbursement. It is also a bitter fact that such bad advances are concealed by gifting Auditors and inspectors and treated as good advances till the sanctioning officer wither is promoted or get safe exit from the bank. Honest workers are made scapegoat for the misdeeds of big executives.. It is undeniably truth that excellent results exhibited through annual balance sheets are due to devoted work of good performers and it is they who are salvaging banks from the misdeeds of bad officers. As such shining balance sheet of a bank should not give conclusion that the results shown are hard work of top officials sitting in AC rooms but that of field workers who are head of a branch and who is doing hard worker even under acute manpower shortage. In banks manpower is adequately provided only to flatterers even if he has caused banks crores of rupees. Until RBI or CBI catch hold of corrupt executives and punish the evil performers and at the same time award those officers who have been whimsically kept away from promotions and unless good officers are given respectable posting and promotions one cannot imagine of any rise in intrinsic value of any bank
On the contrary PSU banks are facing erosion in intrinsic value due to dirty implementation of apparently good HRD policies. In the name of Interview any employee can be deprived of and denied of promotion. Power makes executive corrupt if the decisions made by them are not transparent and subject to review. Root cause of persistence and promotion of such corrupt officers is due to the bitter fact that even courts fail to provide justice in decades together and this is why management bosses indulge in whimsical promotions, arbitrary transfers and postings.
I request bank officers to send their personal experience and story of corrupt officers to me at dkjain49709@rediffmail.com so that such illustration may be incorporated in PIL to be filed in the court. These information will be helpful in seeking information from bank under Right to Information Act to expose the true colour of officers who have been holding top posts in the bank and who have been getting continuous shelter from Banking division, RBI and Ministry of Finance. The aggrieved officer may also send the real story about them, how they have been cheated by their bosses, how they have been denied promotion and how they have been given always critical posting. After all how long you will bear with injustice in fear of repercussion from higher authorities. One has to come out of imaginary fear and expose the true picture of bad officers. How long meritorious and talented officer will face humiliation and posting against their dignity.
I will come with name of AGM,DGM ,GM,CM and BM and tell the officer community and Government of India how reign of injustice prevails in the banking industry. I need your cooperation in making a strong case against some of CMDs who are recognized as star performers but under the shelter of such CMDs ,their left and right hand officers who themselves are facing CBI charge sheets are exploiting power for self interest.
