RBI wants higher salaries to PSU banks' CEOs

India's central bank concerned that public sector may lose talent to private sector that offers crores.

Concerned over low salary structure in PSU banks, the Reserve Bank on Tuesday said that in the absence of suitable compensation package they would lose talent to private sector lenders.

“The executive compensation in the public sector, as is well known, is lower than that in the private sector...If public sector banks are required to compete with private sector banks on a level playing field, there is a good case for compensating them too on a competitive base”, RBI Governor D. Subbarao said a conference organised by IBA and FICCI.

Incidentally, Mr. Subbarao’s compensation is about Rs. 15 lakh ($32,082) a year compared to packages worth crores for CEOs of private sector banks like ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank and Yes Bank.

“There is a good reason to revise their (PSU bank executives) compensatory packages...There is also a risk that if the public sector bank compensation is not improved, the public sector may lose talent to the private sector,” Mr. Subbarao said.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
