The new MD and CEO of Indian Bank is Binod Kumar, the Executive Director of PNB.After a performance assessment, Kumar, who was hired for a three-year tenure, may be eligible for a two-year extension.
After the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) allegedly made disparaging statements about the top executive, the Financial Services Institution Bureau (FSIB) revoked its previous recommendation, which was followed by his hiring.
"Appointment of Shri Binod Kumar (DoB: 01.01.1971), Executive Director, Punjab National Bank as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Indian Bank for a period of three years w.e.f. the date of his assumption of charge of the post, or until further orders, whichever is earlier," stated the order.
The reports that the FSIB recommended Asheesh Pandey, executive director of Bank of Maharashtra, for the top job at Indian Bank in April 2024. The banking regulator then wrote to the finance ministry, requesting that it take its observations into account when assessing Pandey's candidacy.
According to the RBI, Asheesh Pandey's "behavior and conduct" during a supervisory findings exit meeting was "found not befitting his position and responsibilities concerning regulatory compliance."
