Sir,
REG: GUIDELINES
ON PROMOTIONS IN PUBLIC SECTOR BANKS
REDUCTION
IN “APAR” MARKS
UNIFORM
APPLICATION TO ALL BANKS
REF: 1.
Your communication dated 14.03.2012
2.
Your communication dated 04.04.2013
The
guidelines for promotions in Public Sector Banks was issued on
14.03.2012, wherein various provisions were dealt with, notable
amongst them are
[a] Channel
of promotion and minimum experience requirement at various levels
[b] Minimum
75% marks to be secured in Performance appraisal for fast track/merit
channel
2. Subsequently,
vide the second communication referred herein above, the minimum
requirement of “APAR marks” relaxation, with approval of the Bank
Boards, to an average of 75% marks of APAR with a minimum of 60% in
each preceding five years.
3. The
above guidelines are applicable to all Public Sector Banks without
any exception or deviation. We have been given to understand that
Corporation Bank having its headquarters in Mangalore, has taken up
with your department the subject matter of APAR marks and the
Ministry has reported to have relaxed the eligible marks under APAR
to 40% / 35% to general category /SC/ST category respectively.
4. Accordingly
the Board of the Bank has reduced the Annual Performance
Appraisal Report marks to 40% marks for the General
category and 35% marks to for SC/ST category and issued the circular
for initiating the promotion from Scale III to IV, Scale IV to V,
Scale V to VI and Scale VI to VII, by relaxing the eligibility years
of service.
5. There
are certain contradictions in implementing the above guidelines.
They are:
[a] When
the eligibility years for participation in the promotion process is
reduced to 2 years or less than 5 years, obtaining 5 years APAR marks
is incorrect and non-implementable one.
[b] Relaxation
in APAR marks from 75% to 40% / 35% should be made applicable to all
banks and to all channels.
5. As
the Banks are getting into the “promotion mode” subsequent to the
finalisation of yearly accounts, we request you to issue appropriate
instructions to all Banks immediately.
Please
expedite the instructions so as to enable the eligible officers with
the revised/reduced marks of “APAR” from the present stipulation
of 75% or 60% / 40% / 35%.
Yours
faithfully,
/S.NAGARAJAN/
