Guideline For Creation Of Top Post In Banks

               Guidelines For Creating Posts of GMs,  DGMs and AGMs 
                             in Public Sector Banks ---By  Rajesh Goyal
In 2011 and 2012, Ministry of Finance issued certain guidelines for creation and rationalization of posts of GMs, DGMs and AGMs, as GoI felt that banks have been misusing the powers available to them in creation of such posts.   Now once again these guidelines have been reviewed and new set of guidelines have been sent to Public Sector Banks.   Now in June 2013,  MoF has announced the number of posts at the level of General Managers for each bank based on the business mix  of the bank as on 31.03.2013.   Broadly, these guidelines are as follows:-


For the Banks with Business
Number of GMs


Up to Rs. 1,50,000 crores
Number of GMs is 12


Beyond Rs  1,50,000 crores and less than Rs 4,00,000 crores
One additional GM for every Rs 18,000 crores


Beyond Rs 4,00,000 crores
One additional GM for every Rs 24,000 crores

Based on above guidelines, MoF has calculated the maximum number of General Managers in each Public Sector Bank based on the business mix as on 31/03/2013.  The details of posts of GMs is given below based on MoF guidelines.  These guidelines will now be reviewed only based on the business mix as on 31.03.2015 and the ceiling provided below shall remain effective till next review.   As per MoF circular, it appears that Punjab National Bank, Canara Bank, Bank of India already have exceeded the number of posts at General Manager level.   MoF has allowed them to retain the existing number of General Managers.

The ratio of GM/DGM/AGM shall continue to be as before i.e 1:3:9.   Thus, number of posts for DGMs and AGMs have been calculated in this ratio. (However, it may be lower for PNB, Canara Bank and BoI as MoF only says that they have been allowed to retain the number of GMs and not DGMs and AGMs.)

Based on the guidelines, we give below the maximum number of General Managers / DGMs / AGMs that public sector banks will have till 31/03/2015.   We hope this will bring transparency in the minds of bankers at senior levels asnumber of rumors float at the time of promotions etc.
