Recruitment Scam in Banks

An officer who has worked for  two or three decades successfully in a bank without facing any charges of irregularities or lapses is not found fit by Interview board for promotion of officer from one scale to other but the same team of interview panel pick up entirely fresh candidate who has got banking knowledge, no rural posting no point for education or for APAR etc.  

An officer of other banks of two or three year experience is found fit when Management of a bank go to a campus for selection or call candidate from other bank or FI for the post in scale II or scale III. In such case they neither need to see whether he has worked in rural areas or not, whether he has worked as Branch Head or not, Whether he has passed CAIIB or JAIIB etc.

Sometimes bank management recruit specialized officers or officers in special segment from campus or from directly from market and later they treat them at par with generalized officers. Many of existing offices perform the same task which specialists perform. In this way bank management get an opportunity to recruit their kith and kin or their friends and relatives to pay higher emoluments for the same work which a two decade experienced officers is doing or vice versa.

There are many such cases when an officer recruited in scale I as general officers at lower scale is performing better than a specialist recruited in scale III , both doing same and similar work.

In a bank policy changes every year as per whims of top ranked officers. There are several Rural Development Officers who are treated as General officers and many other RDO are treated as specialist. There are many officers recruited as Marketing officer are working as general banking officers. In this way the term ‘Specialist’ is used only as an excuse to recruit person directly from market depriving the rights of existing serving officers. In field, there is practically no demarcation in quality and nature of works allotted to general officers or to specialists. Both are to work in the same and similar manner though they are recruited in different scale with different initial emolument and different potential for promotion to higher scale. All these things depend not on the quality of work but on the whims and fancies of top bosses which adversely affects the work culture and loyalty to the organization.

IBPS also work in nexus with bank officials in picking up officers in scale II and scale iii in the name of specialist officer and pay them two or three times of normal salary payable to a fresher or a probationary officer . Similarly promotion process Committee of every bank takes the help of IBPS just to show their honest credential but they pick up officers for promotion only whom they like or who has been backed by some God father.

Is there any one to investigate such scam which causes not only loss of money but also gives frustration to hundreds and thousands of officers who are waiting for promotion for years together? 

The most astonishing is that an officers with two to three decades is not promoted to scale III or scale IV or Scale V but an outsider is directly recruited in scale III and promoted to scale IV and V within a span of four to five years .

 How far is it justified? 

Will it not spoil the work culture? 

Who are responsible and punishable for such improper way of recruitment?

Or the reign of injustice will continue as it has been going on for last three four decades?

Officers who are aggrieved with bank management file case in local civil court or file writ in High Court or Supreme Court but the case is not decided even in two or three decades due to ill motivated actions of advocates representing banks .And bank in general continue to pick up officers as per their whims and fancies for higher scale and for higher post. 

Ministry of Finance also agree to whatsoever logic is given to them by top ranked officers of bank. 

No efforts have ever been taken to maintain uniformity of promotion policy in all banks and in the same bank and make it time bound just as the service of central government and that of IAS and IPS officers are. Government always treat bankers step motherly and this is why the banks which are actually the backbone of the economy and financial health of the country are so weak and rotten that they may collapse anytime.
