Daijiworld Media Network - Udupi (SP)

Udupi, Sep 19: A protest was held near Dena Bank's branch here on Tuesday September 18, to register opposition to the proposed merger of nationalised Dena Bank, Bank of Baroda, and Vijaya Bank. The protest was held at the behest of United Forum of Bank Unions.

Udupi district president of All India Bank Employees Association, Ram Mohan, accused the central government of taking this decision unilaterally. He said that the merger of associate banks with State Bank of India has proved that mergers lead the banks nowhere. He termed the decision of the government to merge more banks as unfortunate.

B K Billava of Vijaya Bank, Sripati Bhat and Krishnaprasad of Dena Bank and Nityananda of Karnataka Bank addressed the protesters.

Varadaraj of Canara Bank, Prakash Jogi of State Bank of India, Raghuyramakrishna Ballal and Nagesh Nayak of Corporation Bank, Jayaprakash Rao of All India Bank Officers Confederation, and many other representatives of various unions and banks took part. The programme was coordinated by Herald D'Souza of United Forum of Bank Unions.

In Mangaluru, protest was organised against the proposal of merger by Vijaya Bank Retirees Association.

    Oligopoly is required in pubic sector banking for objective competition, but not to this extent. Number of PSU Banks effectively can be reduced to 5 or 6 and multiple branches across streets can be closed to improve productivity. As regard to unions, employees do not have funding stake in banks and servants should not dictate how to manage the house of the employer...! They should be shown their place first.

    It is the hard work of the employees (not all) that has made whatever little profit the banks have been able to make. The largest share of the NPA's are of PSU's like NTPC to which the banks have been forced to give loans by the government. It is very disheartening for efficient employees.

    @Ajay, Kallianpur
    Agree that there was a time when PSB's had some dedicated staff members who used to provide efficient service to retail customers, who used to maintain the relationship with the bank branch mainly due to such personal connection. This relationship of banker and customer in PSB's has disappeared long back and now all you can see some old grumpy slow moving objects at the counters of the banks, who don't even talk, smile and help customers many of whom are not educated and even write a cheque or fill a deposit, withdrawal slip. In some cases you will find some arrogant goons sitting at the counters as if they are there as show pieces. I saw once the staff does not even use his fingers on the keyboard instead he was using the ball point pen to hit the key board to process the transactions. This attitude must stop and staff in first place should be shown their place and only efficient ones to be promoted.

    Prashant Karkera Hejmady/Mumbai after the merger of SBI and it's subsidiaries some places in a one kilometre radius we have 5 to 6 branches of SBI what is the use of it?. This is almost monopolising the banks. The employee s of these banks will not be productive since they have no problem if they do not have business since they are taken care of very well even after voluntary retirement.

    Boss, even though SBI branches are always over crowded, ACs not working, simmering heat, rude staff, nobody answers, send you counter to counter. Soon after they open the shutter, go for lunch.
    Merger of banks will not effect the business, your account will be in the same branch, under a different Bank name. If you have an account in Canar Bank, and Sydicate Bank is closure to your house or office, you need not go to Canara Bank. Core banking helped us to bank in any branch of the same bank in a big way, same like this merger will be more convenient for us.
    Do not oppose this for being a BJP government initiative, a good is a good, no matter who does it.

    Don't try to burry the mistake of Gov't. All banks are in huge losses because of the acche din. Petrol, deisel prices increased, rupee fell down against dollar, banks are in loss and we say acche din.

    You are still in barter system age, if don't know anything about merger if nationalised banks, please do not post comments.
    This merger will benefit the customers more, they will have more branches to bank with, banking will be much convenient, only slothful government bank employees will be given more work and subject to accountability.

    Prashant going by your comments look like even you did not understand the taught process for merger. Benefits of merger will be more branches etc etc :)

    Indian banks are bleeding because of NPAs and without mergers these banks will slowly collapse or else the govt will have to keep funding equity to run these banks leading in waste of tax payers money.

    Hence consolidation of banks will further strengthen the banking system and its better to have a strong bank with good balance sheet and lending fundamentals than having many small banks.
