New Framework For Performance Assessment Of Bankers

New Key Performance Indicators For Public Sector Banks-By Rajesh Goyal
(Source:allbankingsolutions.com)
On 14th August 2015, GoI has announced Indradhanush - a framework for bring reforms in the pubic sector banks.   One of the interesting and crucial points in this framework is the changes suggested as per key performance indicatros  for public sector banks.    We will discuss below the same.   Let us first under the changes.
 
The present system for the measurement of bank’s performance was a system called Statement of Intent or popularly SoI.  Under SoI, the banks used to come up with their annual target figures based on certain criteria decided by Ministry of Finance. These annual targets  proposed by banks were then discussed between the Ministry and banks and final targets were decided.   The experience indicated that this whole exercise took very long and sometimes the targets for banks used to be finalized only towards the end of the year .   Now the new frame work has made sweeping changes in the same.
 
The new framework of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) have been divided broadly into two parts :
                        (i) The total marks to be allotted for quantifiable measurable criteria are 80.                       
                        (ii) The remaining 20 marks are reserved for measurement of qualitative criteria which includes strategic initiatives taken to improve asset quality, efforts made to conserve capital, HR initiatives and improvement in external credit rating.  The qualitative performance would be assessed based on a presentation to be made by banks to a committee chaired by Secretary, Department of Financial Services.
 These changes will also impact the Branch heads and other field functionaries including circle / regional / zonal heads of the banks, as now focus will shift from the targets on increase in deposits and credits to other performance parameters.   As bank incumbents have to meet the new set of targets, the lower functionaries across the bank too will be given targets based on what bank now targets to achieve.
