As  per inputs of the Indian Banks' Association (which, inter alia, carries on negotiations with labour unions  on  behalf  of  bank  managements  on  their  specific  mandate),demands  raised  by workmen unions or officers' associations are discussed between the managements of banks and the  unions/associations  in  appropriate  forums,  with  a  view  to  settle  the  issues  raised amicably  through  mutual  discussions/negotiations.  Further,  all  efforts  are  made  to  avert strike whenever a strike call is given, which may include conciliation proceedings before the Chief Labour Commissioner.

Upon receipt of the intimations, Government issues an advisory to banks regarding maintenance of banking operations during the strike through appropriate steps for avoiding inconvenience to the general public, including adequate loading of cash in ATMs, ensuring operation of clearing houses, internet banking and core banking solution, etc.

(a) to (c): Under  section 35 of the Banking  Regulation  Act,  1949, the Reserve  Bank of India (RBI) conducts  on-site inspection  of banks  every  year.  As per RBI inputs,  there  was a sharp increase  of 125% in new  accretion  to Non-Performing Assets (NPAs)  of scheduled  commercial banks during  2015-16, mainly  due to the Asset Quality  Review  (AQR)  undertaken  by  RBI. Due to  AQR   and  subsequent   transparent   recognition   of  NPAs,   as  per  RBI  data,   gross  NPAs   of scheduled  commercial  banks  increased  by  Rs. 7,12,064  crore  during  the last three  financial  years (FYs)  2014-15  to  FY  2017-18  (provisional   data).

According   to  RBI,  reasons   for increase   in  stressed  assets  of  banks   in  recent   times   include, inter alia, global   economic slowdown,  aggressive  lending  practices  during  upturn,  wilful  defaults,  etc.

- (d):  As per RBI inputs,  IDBI Bank Limited  has been placed under RBI's Prompt  Corrective Action   (PCA)   framework. Under   this,   RBI  has  asked  the  bank, inter  alia, to  improve   its provision  coverage  ratio,  reduce  its risk-weighted  assets and review  its business model/strategy, and to not take  any  fresh corporate  exposure.
