Finance Ministry suggests restructuring business strategies, consolidation of PSU banks

02 Mar 2015 Evaluate

Concerned about underwhelming performance of PSU Banks, Finance Ministry has suggested these banks for restructuring business strategies and considering consolidation and merger with other lenders. The government in order to improve the governance of these public sector banks, in Union Budget 2015-16, unveiled a plan of setting up an autonomous 'Bank Board Bureau' with professional members.

According to the proposal, the board of these banks would be responsible for search and selection of heads of PSBs, as also for non-official directors of the banks. It highlighted that this would serve as an interim step towards moving in the direction of having a Bank Investment Company, which will be a holding company for PSBs.

Further, on appointment of non-official directors, the government underscored that guidelines were being re-visited to ensure that banks have on boards, people with relevant experience and that eligible professionals could apply through websites. According to government, the focus of these reforms was to improve the quality of deliberations in bank boards, which in turn could lead to better asset quality and better market valuations.

Highlighting some of the recent measures taken to improve the performance, Finance Ministry release highlighted that the post of Chairman and Managing Director has been separated and that bankers from both public and private sector could apply for the top job, which also meant higher salary being given out in appropriate cases.

It also pointed that Finance Ministry had revamped the selection system by including structured three separate interviews, allotment of banks on merit-cum-preference basis.
