The reasons for PSB's poor performance can be easily attributed to
the intervention by the Government and the Regulator in their functioning.
Right from the appointment of Board of Directors and Chairman to the
day to day operations of the banks, Government interference is there
directly and indirectly. Banks are not allowed to run on professional
lines and the advances portfolio of banks are as per the directives of
the Government and the Board of Directors under the influence of big
business groups. A large segmentation of NPAs is with the knowledge of
Banks' management and nothing can be done about it unless and until a
self disciplining mechanism irrespective of the background of borrowers
is introduced. Write off of loans and some of the major expenditures
need close monitoring in PSBs and the Board of Directors from the
Government and RBI should be removed. The appointment of Directors need
to be merit based and not influence based as it is happening now. Will
the Government show some guts to bring some changes and discipline?
