The government will expedite the process of appointing the chiefs of several public sector banks, Finance Minister Piyush Goyal told the Rajya Sabha.
He was responding to a query by Congress member Jairam Ramesh who asked the Centre why one-third of public lenders remained headless for a long time, though several colourful schemes had been announced.
“The Banks Board Bureau has completed the interviews of candidates... We will expedite the process,” Mr. Goyal said, adding that the eligibility criteria had been expanded to allow even top officials of private banks to apply.
