The State Bank of India (SBI) has planned to rope in a consultant for performance evaluation of all the directors on the board of the bank, central board and board level committees.

The consultant would devise parameters for performance evaluation and assess the quality, quantity and timelines of flow of information between management and the board of directors that is necessary for the Central Board, Chairman, Directors (Executive and Non-executive), and Board Level Committees to effectively and reasonably perform their duties, according to a report.

At present, India’s largest bank has 13 Directors on the Central Board and 10 Board Level Committees, including Executive Committee of the Central Board, Audit Committee, Risk Management Committee, and Nomination and Remuneration Committee.

The consultant is required to prepare questionnaires for Central Board, Chairman, Executive Directors (other than Chairman), Non-Executive Directors and Board Level Committees and deploy an online platform to receive feedback, it said.

The parameters that the consultant draws up for performance evaluation will include the aspects suggested by the Nomination & Remuneration Committee of the bank. The consultant will have one to one interaction with the Directors for evaluation and prepare a report on the performance evaluation exercise along with recommendations/views for improvement, it added.

The country’s largest lender HDFC Bank on Saturday said it has imposed a penalty of Rs 10.20 lakh on its senior executive Jimmy Tata for selling his shares in violation of insider trading regulations.

Tata, the chief credit officer, sold 1,400 shares of the bank held by him in what the lender termed as an “inadvertent trade“.

“The Audit Committee has concluded that this was an inadvertent trade made without intent to violate the Bank’s Share Dealing Code (Bank’s Code) or the SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015 (PIT Regulations),” the lender informed the exchanges in a regulatory filing.

The panel has determined that there was a violation of the Bank’s Code and PIT Regulations and imposed a penalty of Rs 10.20 lakh on Tata, it added.

The amount shall be remitted to the Investor Protection & Education Fund (IPEF) in line with the PIT Regulations, it added.

Tata took on the role of chief credit officer last month, after officiating as the bank’s chief risk officer.
