Great economists, Minister, RBI officials, media men, stock predictors, rating agencies and various types of analyst of banks are predicting excellent and bright future of public sector banks. But I am not convinced with their rhetoric and frequent stress on public platform on good health of banks. I foresee dark days for PSBs and am very much sure that this is creation of the same lot persons who are advocating good health of banks compared to private banks. I am therefore inclined to place the realities of banks in public domain so that common men take due care before parking their surplus fund in banks or before investing in share of these banks. For this purpose I would like to request you to provide me following information pertaining to each public sector bank as on 30.09.2011on following points.
1. Total advance as on 30.09.2011
2. Number of accounts and amount where total funded and non funded exposure per individual / firm/group /company/MFI/Mutual fund is more than Rs.100 crores
3. Number of accounts and amount where total funded and non funded exposure per individual / firm/group/MFI/company/ mutual fund is more than Rs.10 crores but upto Rs.100 crores
4. Number of accounts and amount where total funded and non funded exposure per individual / firm/group/MFI/company/ mutual fund is more than Rs.1 crores but upto Rs.10 crores
5. Number of accounts and amount where total funded and non funded exposure per individual / firm/group/MFI/company/ mutual fund is upto Rs.1 crores
6. Total number of account and amount of Non Performing Assets, Restructured Assets and stressed assets out of point no. 1
7. Total number of account and amount of Non Performing Assets, Restructured Assets and stressed assets out of point no. 2
8. Total number of account and amount of Non Performing Assets, Restructured Assets and stressed assets out of point no.3
9. Total number of account and amount of Non Performing Assets, Restructured Assets and stressed assets out of point no.4
10. Total number of account and amount of Non Performing Assets, Restructured Assets and stressed assets out of point no.5
11. Year wise amount of money sacrificed by each bank during last ten years in waiver of loan, compromise settlement and in writing off of bad debts
12. Whether any to executive like Executive Director or CMD, or GM or DGM or AGM or CM has been punished for bad and mischievous management due to which bad assets grew to such a large extent as in SBI or many top performing banks.
If yes please provide bank wise name of such punished officers during last ten years. There are many officers who caused hundreds of crores of rupees to their banks but have been allowed safe exit from the bank. or even promoted to higher position. Even investigating agencies like CBI or CVC ignored such cases for some reason or the other.
13. Amount lost by each bank on account of fraud and name of top officers punished for this during last ten years
14. Last but not the least whether unmanageable growth in bad assets is always due to global recession or bad weather or interest hike as pretended by top executives of the banks.
Second Part of Information on following points will further reveal the glaring truths of public sector banks:----
1. Number of government banks and their branches in India. Out of these banks, how many have been working fully under Core Banking Solution and how many banks are yet to complete CBS implementation.
2. Position of Total amount of bas assets called as Non Performing Assets vis-a -vis Total advances of each bank (bank wise) as on 30.09.2011. Please confirm whether the amount of total bad assets is calculated manually or it is generated by system generated. Please also confirm that none of branches and none of banks have tampered with CBS system to hide bad assets during anytime last three years.
3. Name of Branches where total amount of NPA is more than 25% of total advances as on 30.09.2011 for all banks and for all regions separately
4. Name of branches (region wise for all banks) where total amount of Bad assets is more than 50% of total advances of the branches as on 30.09.2011.
5. Name of Regional Head and Name of Branch Manager where gross NPA is more than 50% of total advances. Name of CMD of the bank should also be mentioned. Similar information for Regional Rural Banks for each bank has to be given.
6. Action taken by bank management against officers, regional heads, branch managers , credit officers due to whose fault bad assets grew and reached a level of 50% and more compared to their total advances. (Please submit information bank wise and branch wise.)
7. If more than 25% of branches in any bank have more than 25% of total advances as NPA, what action has RBI or Ministry of Finance or CVC or CBI or internal IR section has taken against top officials like General Managers, Deputy general manager, Executive Directors, and Managing Directors.
If more than 25% of government banks are sick of bad assets and if more than 25% of their branches have accumulated NPA to the extent of 25% of their total advances or 10% of their branches have accumulated more than 50% of their total advances in the branch, whether MOF of RBI has ever proposed punitive action against erring executives of banks,( retired or working now).
If all public sector banks are passing through bad days or are in bad health , will government take action against guilty RBI Governor or guilty finance Minister whose misconceived , wrong and defective policies spoilt the future of banks or whose mischievous acts , whose corruption and whose fault in selecting corrupt executives in banks caused sickness in banks.
It is not only SBI whose rating has been downgraded but all banks have to suffer downgrading in ratings. SBI has exposed/ declared bad assets as per system only where advance is more than Rs.50.00 lacs as per RBI permission. If SBI and all PSBs declare honestly all bad assets, devastating result will emerge and then only people of India will be able to know the truth of their banks.
At least the great Finance Minister Mr. Pranab Mukherjee, Ex FM Mr. Chidambram and the great reformist Mr. Manmohan Singh will realize the loopholes of banking reformation and immediately shut their mouth and at least never preach sermons to the world.
