The Financial Services Institutions Bureau (FSIB) has recommended Binod Kumar, the Executive Director of Punjab National Bank, as the next Managing Director and CEO of the Indian Bank. He is set to succeed S L Jain, who retires next month. The recommendation follows a rigorous selection process involving 15 candidates, initiated after the RBI raised concerns over the earlier nominee, Asheesh Pandey. Binod Kumar's experience and strong performance in interviews made him the top choice, with the final appointment subject to approval by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet.
