Public money is not private property.
After the ₹590 Cr fraud, Haryana Govt has blacklisted two banks and tightened financial controls.

Accountability is non-negotiable. Transparency is mandatory.

Mis-selling is not a choice it is a consequence of systemic pressure.

We welcome the strong stand against mis-selling. But real reform will begin only when insurance targets stop dictating performance reviews.

Bankers must be evaluated on lending quality, CASA growth, compliance, and recovery not on third-party product sales.

Remove insurance-linked reviews.
Restore dignity.
Strengthen core banking.

No insurance targets = No mis-selling.

Is Performance Linked Incentive strengthening banks or creating internal disparity?

When 360 days meets 15 days, questions will naturally arise.
Incentives should reward collective performance, not divide the workforce.

Let’s discuss.

₹72,000+ Crore in Unclaimed Bank Deposits Moved to RBI Fund

Thousands of bank accounts across India have remained inactive for 10+ years and the funds have now been transferred to the RBI’s Depositor Education & Awareness Fund.

⚠️ But remember the money is still yours.

Many people forget:
• Old salary accounts
• Accounts opened in another city
• Deposits made by parents or grandparents
• Small balances that were never closed properly

Even small amounts matter.

Instead of increasing pressure on branch staff to manually trace lakhs of dormant accounts, India needs a smarter, RBI-level unified traceability system to help reconnect depositors with their hard-earned money.

📢 Check your old accounts.
📢 Keep your KYC updated.
📢 Inform your family about your financial records.

Your Money. Your Right. Your Responsibility.

Love may be in the air, but bankers know… targets are in the system 💻💼❤️
Hope no one is witnessing Valentine’s Login Week at their bank! 😄

Bankers are trained to build financial trust not to be pushed into aggressive insurance selling.
It’s time to realign priorities toward customer interest, transparency, and core banking services.

Gold and silver can now strengthen MSME loan proposals even when loans fall under collateral-free eligibility. An optional support tool that can improve approval confidence in select cases.

Big shift in government banks? 👀
Foreign ownership limits in Public Sector Banks may double from 20% to 49%.

More global investment could flow in while reports indicate the government may still keep majority control.

A move that could reshape the future of public banking in India.
