Rs 1322 crore net profit is a great milestone for a PSB. But what about the PSB Bharat Connect account for government employees? Is it any different from the standard salary account? Would appreciate more details on that.
As an NRI from the US, I've had decent experiences with Punjab & Sind Bank for remittances. The new Navjyoti HR app seems like a step toward modernisation. Overall, Indian banks improving well. Keep it up!
Happy Foundation Day to PSB! 🎂 The tree plantation drives are a nice CSR touch. But honestly, the real test will be in customer service during peak hours and loan processing times. Hope the digital push actually reduces those queues.
Kudos to MD & CEO Swarup Kumar Saha and the team. 30% MSME growth is impressive! Priority sector lending is the need of the hour for small businesses. The CBDC initiative also aligns with RBI's vision for digital rupee. Bharat Connect for government employees sounds practical too. Let's hope the implementation is smooth.
