The bank incurred bad debt of Rs.26,000 crore and a loss of Rs.1,420 crore’
Chairman and managing director of Central Bank of India Rajeev Rishi has regretted that the public sector banks are not doing well on the performance index as it has become increasingly difficult for them to recover bad debts that are incurred on account of Non Performing Assets (NPA).
It is not just Central Bank but other institutions, including the Bank of Baroda, and the Punjab National Bank, that have incurred huge losses on account of NPAs, he told a national conference of Central Bank Officers Association here on Sunday.
He said the Central Bank had incurred bad debts of Rs.26,000 crore and a loss of Rs. 1,420 crore.
“If our employees make Rs. 3,000 crore cash recovery from NPAs, the bank can survive,” he said. He asked employees to mobilise more operating profits from current and savings accounts.
Public sector banking is the only way forward for nation’s progress, opined Mr. Rishi.

  1. Usually the AGM DGM and GMs have punished junior officers all these years though these loans were processed and sanctioned at the instance of the above top fellows. Now for a change Justice is happening though only in very few cases.
