What a selection process!
An officer who could not clear the DGM to GM promotion interview twice in his parent bank is now serving as the Chairman of a RRB with business of nearly ₹1 lakh crore+.
So apparently, @TheOfficialSBI did not find him suitable for the post of GM but he was considered absolutely perfect to head an RRB!
Sometimes, it becomes really difficult to understand what “merit” actually means in the banking sector.
This post has no personal connection with #RajasthanGraminBank or Mr. #MukeshBhartiya.
It is merely a personal commentary on the banking system and the selection process.

A reminder to all bankers:
Integrity in lending is not optional. It is survival.
A former BM from @BankofIndia_IN has been convicted in a fraud case and sentenced to 7 years RI.
No matter the designation, every wrong sanction, every shortcut in due diligence eventually catches up.
Banking is built on trust. Once that breaks, consequences are not just departmental… they are personal and legal.

BIG CHANGE IN SBI WORK CULTURE
#SBI Chairman said that some branch staff are now being shifted into SALES roles.
SBI will also train branch employees specifically for cross-selling products.
This means the pressure on branch staff is only going to increase:
• More sales targets
• More insurance & investment pushing
• More cross-selling pressure
• More daily monitoring in the name of performance
Today they call it redeployment.
Tomorrow it will become target-based harassment.
Bankers joined for banking operations and customer service not to become full time sales agents.
This is the beginning of the next level of pressure in Indian banking.

🚨 FEDERAL BANKOLESTATION SSUE: REAL ACTION OR JUST ANOTHER INTERNAL COVER-UP?
It has now been almost ONE MONTH since the alleged “unwanted incidents” during the Port Blair Business Summit (Apr 17-19) linked to @FederalBankLtd were internally acknowledged by both the #FBOA & #FBEU.
The Association itself stated this was “not an isolated case” and raised concerns regarding inappropriate conduct during official reward programs involving alcohol-linked social gatherings and overnight stays.
At that time, strong letters, protests, and assurances of action were made. Even when I contacted union/association representatives directly, I was told enquiries were ongoing and guilty persons would be punished.
But after almost one month:
❓What exactly happened at the event?
❓What is the nature of the complaint?
❓Was any independent inquiry initiated?
❓Has any accountability been fixed?
❓Why is there complete silence now?
If such serious concerns are officially raised and then quietly fade away without transparency, employees will naturally lose trust in both management and representative bodies.
Employees deserve clarity, accountability, and confidence that complaints will not be buried.
Seeking answers from:

Foundation Day Celebration or Public Money Carnival?
Last month @pnbindia hosted a grand Foundation Day event at Yashobhoomi, Delhi, with crores of public funds. It featured a massive stage show, Sonu Nigam’s performance, cultural programs, and lavish hospitality for seniors.
Meanwhile, frontline staff the real banking fighters facing daily targets and pressure got just ₹2000 as token appreciation.
Main event cost: ₹5-10 crore+ (public money)
Worse, a separate post-event exclusive gathering was held in a premium Lutyens’ Delhi venue for 100+ select seniors, with high-end catering and logistics.
Additional cost: ₹40-50 lakh+
Key Questions:
- Why was a second high-cost private-style party needed after an already grand official event?
- What business outcome justified this extra spending?
- How does this match the cost discipline and aggressive targets pushed on branches?
- Why is lavish spending decided at the top while pressure is put only on the ground level?
- What is the year-on-year trend of such event, hospitality, and publicity expenses?
Public sector banks run on public money and depositor trust. Celebrations are fine, but repeated layers of elite events while ignoring frontline staff raise serious questions on priorities and governance.
Dear Bankers, what do you think?
Will MD & CEO Ashok Chandra still get an even more lucrative post after his PNB tenure, despite these spends? Or will the system finally enforce accountability?
The cycle of zero accountability must end.

₹8.7 CRORE FRAUD IN #BOB CURRENCY CHEST
An employee of @bankofbaroda in Ahmedabad has allegedly siphoned off around ₹8.7 crore from an @RBI linked currency chest, raising serious questions about internal safeguards in one of the most sensitive cash-handling systems in banking.
This was not an external cyberattack or robbery. it is an alleged internal fraud carried out from within the system itself.
What reportedly happened:
➡ Huge cash shortage detected during audit and reconciliation
➡ ₹500 denomination currency bundles found missing
➡ Employee involved was part of the currency chest handling system
➡ Alleged long term manipulation of records to conceal the fraud
➡ CCTV and movement records under examination
➡ Accused reportedly absconded after discrepancies surfaced
Currency chests are supposed to be tightly controlled RBI backed cash vaults with dual custody and strict audit mechanisms. Yet this case shows how internal access, if misused, can override even layered controls.
The incident highlights a disturbing pattern: Most large banking frauds are not external breaches, they are internal system failures enabled by trust, access, and weak real-time checks.
Question that remains: How does a ₹8.7 crore discrepancy go unnoticed until a routine audit?

₹1000 CRORE BANKING SCAM EXPOSED
Former @YESBANK CEO Rana Kapoor and Sudhir Valia have reportedly been arrested/booked by @MumbaiPolice for ₹1000 crore fraud and scam.
Case linked to alleged irregular loan assignments and undervalued sale of mortgaged assets.
Another massive banking fraud.
Another reminder of how public money can be manipulated behind closed doors while ordinary people and honest bank employees suffer under pressure.
Small customers are penalised for minimum balance.
Bank staff are chased for targets daily.
But when powerful people play with ₹1000 crore, the damage hits the entire banking system.
How many more such scams are still buried inside Indian banking?
#RanaKapoor #YesBank #BankScam #Bankersvoice
Dear Bankers,
Tell me honestly have you ever heard anything more ridiculous than this
For me this is easily one of the most laughable statements so far
#5DaysBanking to ladkar lenge 🤣🤣🤣
@rupamsmail aakhir kab aur kaise
Koi real plan framework timeline hai bhi ya bas stage pe jaake catchy slogans bolne ka routine ban gaya hai
Because at this point it does not sound like a policy discussion it sounds like empty words being repeated without any groundwork just to get applause in the moment
People in the banking system are not asking for drama They are asking for clarity practicality and implementation.

ICICI Bank, ₹1.86 Crore Loan, Lost Original Documents and a ₹25,000 compensation.
Cases like this raise serious questions about custody, accountability, and what banking responsibility really means.
A customer Manoj Madhusudhanan took a ₹1.86 crore home loan from @ICICIBank. As part of the process he submitted his original property documents the core legal proof of ownership as collateral.
These original documents were later lost while being transported via courier from Bangalore to Hyderabad.
ICICI Bank’s initial position was that the loss was the courier company’s responsibility.
However the consumer forum and later the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission NCDRC did not accept that argument. The principle was clear once a bank takes custody of a customer’s original property documents responsibility cannot be outsourced to a third party.
The bank was directed to arrange reconstructed certified copies execute indemnity publish a notice and compensate the customer.
The compensation awarded ₹25,000 for loss of original property documents linked to a ₹1.86 crore home loan.
This is where the larger contrast becomes visible.
Banking is built on trust but trust is not just about processing loans or deposits it is about custody and accountability when something goes wrong.
For customers the expectation remains simple they deal with a bank not a chain of vendors.
And in cases like this the real question is not just what was lost but how responsibility is valued when it is tested in court.

RGB: One Year Completed, But Still No Transfer Policy & No Functional HO Shift
More than ONE YEAR has passed since the formation of Rajasthan Gramin Bank, yet the bank is still functioning in confusion, uncertainty and allegations of favouritism.
The biggest irony?
Chairman #MukeshBhartia has still failed to properly shift the Head Office from Jodhpur to Jaipur even after one full year.
On one side:
What reportedly happened:
➡ The bank is paying rent for the Head Office building in Jaipur
What reportedly happened:
➡ Public money is being spent continuously
What reportedly happened:
➡ Employees are being transferred here and there every week
But on the other side:
What reportedly happened:
➡What reportedly happened:
What reportedly happened:
➡ Operations are still being controlled from Jodhpur
What reportedly happened:
➡ Senior management continues sitting comfortably
What reportedly happened:
➡ Employees are suffering without stability
Meanwhile ordinary staff and new joiners are facing:
What reportedly happened:
➡ Random transfers
What reportedly happened:
➡ Sudden postings 80-100 KM away
What reportedly happened:
➡ Exploitation in the name of on-job training
What reportedly happened:
➡ No transparency
What reportedly happened:
➡ No published transfer lists in many cases
Most shocking part:
Despite repeated demands by unions in IRM meetings and through official letters, management has STILL not issued any proper transfer policy.
This raises serious questions:
❓Why is management avoiding a transparent transfer policy in @RajasthanGB?
❓Why are employees being shifted without clear rules?
❓Why is the HO shift still incomplete after one year?
❓Why are @DFS_India, @RBI @FinMinIndia and @RajCMO silent spectators?
❓Who is accountable for the unnecessary expenditure and administrative chaos?
When rules are missing, favouritism grows.
When transparency is absent, suspicion becomes natural.
Employees deserve:
✔ A written and transparent transfer policy
✔ Equal treatment for all staff
✔ Proper publication of transfer orders
✔ Accountability for administrative delays
✔ Stability and dignity in working conditions
Silence from authorities only strengthens the belief that something is seriously wrong in the system.
Member of Parliament is entitled for phone and internet usage of ₹1,50,000 per year.
That comes to around ₹12,500 per month.
However with current telecom plans, even premium unlimited calling and high-speed internet would not exceed ₹10,000 per year, which is less than ₹1,000 per month.
If Government wants to curtail wasteful spending, this kind of mismatch between entitlement and real usage should be rationalised.
TODAY PRIVATE BANKS, TOMORROW PSU BANKS?
First YES BANK
Now RBL BANK is moving towards foreign ownership.
Dubai-based Emirates NBD has reportedly received approvals to acquire up to 74% stake in @rblbank in a deal estimated around $3 billion (₹25,000+ crore).
That means one of India’s major private banks could effectively come under foreign control.
And this comes after Japan’s SMBC already acquired a major strategic stake in YES Bank.
Now the bigger question people are asking:
If today Indian private banks are turning into foreign-controlled banks, what stops tomorrow’s PSU banks from going in the same direction?
IDBI Bank is already under strategic disinvestment. If tomorrow a foreign financial giant or Gulf-based investor acquires majority control there too, it could become the first major PSU-origin bank moving into foreign hands.
Then what remains truly Indian in India’s banking sector?
Step by step the pattern looks clear:
➡ Privatisation
➡ Stake dilution
➡ Strategic sale
➡ Foreign acquisition
Today:
YES Bank → major foreign ownership influence
RBL Bank → up to 74% foreign stake proposal
Tomorrow:
❓ @IDBI_Bank?
❓ More PSU Banks
This is why many citizens are worried that India’s banking system is slowly moving from:
Indian ownership → Private ownership → Foreign ownership
Banks are not ordinary companies.
They control:
➡ Lakhs of crores of public deposits
➡ Pension money
➡ Salaries
➡ Government subsidy transfers
➡ Rural and agriculture credit
➡ National financial stability
Meanwhile PSU banks, despite constant criticism, still carry the burden of Jan Dhan accounts, DBT transfers, rural banking, social schemes, pension distribution, and crisis support across India.
For years private banking was projected as the efficient future.
But today many private banks themselves are surviving through external capital infusion, mergers, stake sales, restructuring, or foreign investment.
The fear now is bigger than just one bank deal.
People are beginning to ask:
Are we building Indian financial institutions or slowly selling the country’s banking sovereignty piece by piece?
Because once control of banking moves outside the country, financial influence also slowly moves outside the country.
Banking is not just business.
Banking is economic sovereignty.

DFS Issues Austerity Circular But Who Faces the Real Burden?
@DFS_India issued a new circular on “rationalization of expenditure” for PSBs, RRBs and financial institutions.
According to the letter:
➡ Meetings should shift to VC
➡ Foreign travel should be reduced
➡ Petrol/Diesel vehicles should be replaced with EVs
But the real question is:
PSU bankers are already going to branches every single day.
They are not flying abroad for luxury meetings every week.
The real operational burden is on branch staff working 6 days, stretched manpower, long business hours and endless pressure.
If DFS genuinely wants cost cutting & efficiency, then why not discuss #5DaysBanking
That would reduce:
➡ Electricity costs
➡ Operational expenses
➡ Travel expenses
➡ Staff fatigue
➡ Carbon footprint
Instead, another “EV replacement” exercise may simply become a fresh opportunity for procurement commissions, vendor favours and new expenditure cycles in the name of reforms.
Changing fuel cars to EVs alone is not a structural banking reform.
These circulars look more like paperwork solutions than ground level solutions.
Bankers need real reforms, not just another official letter.

🚨 Meta is reportedly preparing to lay off nearly 8,000 employees, around 10% of its global workforce, on May 20.
Employees say the earlier layoffs were mostly performance based, but this time nobody knows who will be out next. Fear and uncertainty inside the company are at an alltime high.
For expat employees in the US, the situation is even harsher. Many may get just 60 days to find another job or leave the country. In a tech market where almost every major company is cutting jobs, that clock feels brutal.
People who built lives in America with homes, car loans, families, and long-term plans are suddenly facing the possibility of packing everything and leaving.
And let’s be honest, these layoffs will hit foreign workers the hardest, especially Indians working on visas.
One employee even described colleagues “trauma bonding” by stockpiling free office snacks, chargers, and supplies before the cuts begin.
The global tech dream is starting to look very unstable.

🚨 Fake IAS slapped Real SDM in Gorakhpur
28 year old Lalit Kishor from Gorakhpur, UP allegedly pretended to be an IAS officer for years.
• White Innova with fake police siren
• 15 hired bodyguards, drivers & gunmen
• Spent ₹5 lakh/month to maintain the entire setup
He conducted fake inspections of private schools and allegedly extorted lakhs by citing madenup violations.
He then reportedly promised a ₹450 crore government contract to a businessman and took ₹5 crore + 2 luxury cars as bribe.
Even crazier:
A real SDM once asked him for his ID card.
Lalit allegedly slapped him twice, after which the officer never questioned him again.
He had 4 girlfriends.
3 became pregnant.
All believed he was a real IAS officer.
The scam collapsed after Railway Protection Force caught a courier at Gorakhpur Railway Station carrying ₹99.9 lakh cash, allegedly meant as bribe for a “2022-batch IAS officer”.
Police checked the database.
No such officer existed.
By then, Lalit had allegedly cheated 40+ people of several crores.
Even inside jail, he allegedly kept pretending to be powerful offering fake bail help to prisoners.
Prisoners nicknamed him: Lalit 420
🚨 UPGB Management Slaps PM’s Cost Cutting Call With 4 Star Hotel Town Hall Meetings
Earlier, meetings in RRB were held inside Regional Offices itself.
Now after the merger into #UPGB, Town Hall Meetings are suddenly being organised in 4 star hotels like Lemon Tree.
Question is simple:
Why waste public money on hotel luxury when the same meeting can happen inside the RO itself?
Tomorrow’s Sambhal Region Town Hall is for barely around 80 branches.
Was Regional Office not enough for this?
At a time when even the PM @narendramodi is talking about reducing unnecessary expenditure, using Video Conferencing, and cutting wasteful meetings, UPGB management is doing exactly the opposite.
Not only physical meetings…
but expensive hotel based events.
So what is the actual benefit of these Town Hall meetings?
• Are branch problems reducing?
• Are staff shortages solved?
• Is customer service improving?
• Are pending HR issues resolved?
• Or is this only image building at public expense?
If earlier meetings were successfully happening in Regional Offices, why this sudden extravagance now?
Public sector and RRB money is not private money.
Every unnecessary luxury event ultimately comes from public funds and bank resources.
I request @PMOIndia @FinMinIndia @CMOfficeUP @myogiadityanath
@myogioffice @DFS_India @bankofbaroda to immediately look into this issue and ask UPGB Chairman #YS_Thakur to cancel such unnecessary luxury hotel meetings and conduct them through VC or inside RO like before.

SBI ATM disappeared but the SBI board is still alive.
In Danapur, a former #SBI ATM has now been converted into a salon, yet the SBI ATM signage is still hanging outside.
And then SBI management wonders why people make memes on the bank.
A customer searching for cash sees an SBI ATM board with trust… and ends up standing in front of a hair salon. This is not just carelessness, it is operational embarrassment.
When even basic ATM branding control and monitoring cannot be managed properly, questions on ground-level management are completely justified.
If an ATM is removed, removing the signage is also the bank’s responsibility, not an optional task to be forgotten for months.
Incidents like these damage the image of the bank more than any social media criticism ever could.
We request @TheOfficialSBI authorities to immediately remove the outdated signage and fix such negligence before public trust turns into public mockery.
