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.
The full details of these are presented below :-
