Select the correct answer using the code given below:

a) (ii) only

d) Neither (i) nor (ii)

Answer: (b)

RBI issues various guidelines for directors of banks and also has powers to appoint additional directors on the board of a banking company. Banks need prior approval of RBI for appointment/termination of Chairman, Directors and CEO.

RBI in consultation with Central Govt. can supersede the Board of Directors of Banks. Public Sector Banks (PSBs) are under dual regulation of Central Govt. and RBI. RBI’s powers are curtailed regarding PSBs, where RBI cannot remove directors and management, cannot supersede banks board and does not have the power to force a merger or trigger liquidation.

A license is required from RBI to commence banking operations, opening of new bank branches and closing of branches or change in the location of existing branches. RBI regulates mergers, amalgamation and winding up of banks. (For shifting, merger and closure of urban branches, now no approval is required).
