Yesman Culture Result Of Misuse Of Power By Bosses

Following are Few Links to Clear how bank management use to misuse Powers of Transfer and Powers on Giving Marks in Interview to award or  to Punish an officer strictly as per  whims and caprices of top officials 

In public sector banks, transfers take place purely on the whims and fancies of top officials. Flattery and bribery play the key role and predominant role in transfer and not onluy transfers but also in all promotion processes. I have been harping on this blatant issue since long but none at top echelon gave value to my views. Performance and caliber of an officer is of no significance and it was never in the minds of top officials.Today's Historic Supreme Court historic judgement is enough to  substantiate my views expressed in these blogs. 

I hope at least now bank management will take the lesson and modify their Human Resource Policy and try to be perfectly honest in its execution in real sense and in true spirit.


It is astonishing that despite clear cut instruction by Ministry of Finance in Jun 2012 that banks should not transfer officers after June month and if transfer after June month  is unavoidable , the same should be approved by the board. But Banks are still issuing transfer orders violating the guidelines without keeping in mind even the torture meted out to officer due to frequent arbitrary and whimsical transfers.


It is therefore desirable that Ministry of Finance should  verify whether guidelines issued by them are followed in true spirit on ground level. If there is one or two violations, the same may be condoned. But if there are hundreds of violations in each bank every year, MOF should either punish top officials or withdraw their guidelines and give them free hand as they are using free hand to transfer IAS and IPS officers in the country to take revenge from their opponents.

It is however undeniably true that if the verdict of Supreme Court is not put into action in true sense in all government departments, there is no power on earth which can stop corruption and which can ensure safety of bank and health of banks health.

So far as oral instructions from top bosses are concerned , it is open secret that majority of  high value proposals originates from branches only when there is huge pressure , oral orders from top bosses to sanction loans to a person or businessman. Majority of promotions take place on the verbal recommendation of some powerful persons only and when any officer recommends anyone's name for promotion, marks are accordingly given in Interview by members of Interview panel. 

Even Supreme Court cannot stop such oral instruction. None of junior officers has courage to write down the oral instruction as advised Today by Supreme Court. 

Only God can express the true story of banks and government departments.

Do away with CVC clearance for post-retirement jobs for secys,-Business Standard

Government should do away with the need for vigilance clearance for secretaries who are appointed to statutory and constitutional posts within six months of their retirement, the Prime Minister's Office had been told by a former incumbent in the post of the Chief Information Commissioner. 

Satyananda Mishra, who is presently chairman of the Multi Commodity Exchange, had made the recommendation before his retirement as Chief Information Commissioner. 

Mishra had argued that appointments to crucial posts had been held back over the requirement for vigilance clearance. 

"In recent years, one keeps hearing of numerous cases in which appointment of an existing director of a PSU or a bank as CMD has been held up for long periods ... Only because the vigilance clearance is not received in time and because numerous complaints, often engineered by rivals, keep pouring in as soon as the proposal is mooted for such appointments," Mishra had written to Pulok Chatterjee, the Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister. 

In the letter, the contents of which have been made public under the RTI Act by Commodore (retd) Lokesh Batra, Mishra has said that the problem had assumed serious proportions and was impacting the filling up of vacancies in key positions. 

Until a few years back, no such clearance was required for filling up statutory positions, especially if the person concerned was serving as a secretary to the Government of India at the time of appointment or a few months prior to that, the letter says. 

"The assumption was that if somebody was fit to be secretary to the Government of India, he would not need any further clearance from CVC for appointment to a Statutory/ Constitutional office," the letter adds. 

Mishra had suggested that the government may go back to the old practice of appointing serving senior officers like secretaries or those who had just retired from service to the various statutory and constitutional positions without seeking any prior vigilance clearance from the CVC.
