Move to privatise PSBs will be opposed tooth and nail, says AINBOF

Any move to privatise public sector banks (PSBs) will be opposed "tooth and nail", the All India Nationalised Bank Officers Federation (AINBOF) asserted on Wednesday. AINBOF general secretary Sanjay Das said that bank nationalisation was the most successful and biggest economic reform in independent India and paved the way for the public sector banks to play a crucial role in the development in all sectors of the country. With high unemployment, inflation and economic inequalities continuing, there is a need to have control on capital which can be done only through expansion of PSBs and not by handing over these precious assets to "crony capitalists", Das said on the occasion of 55th year of bank nationalisation in the country. The PSBs promoted financial inclusion, mobilised savings and channeled funds to vital sectors of the economy like agriculture, SMEs, education and infrastructure, he said. "The purpose of social control was to accomplish widest possible distribution of bank

The government has asked the Indian Banks' Association (IBA) to initiate the process of negotiations for the 12th Bi-partite settlement in a time-bound manner and to finalise it by December 1, 2023, said a senior official.

As a part of the settlement, the IBA is expected to engage in dialogues with the employees' Unions/ Associations and work out to arrive at a mutually agreeable wage settlement. The government has stressed the importance of fairness and equity in the revision, ensuring that the compensation struct
