The Reserve Bank of India has recently framed new guidelines on the appointment of managing director / whole-time director for urban cooperative banks. It has said the managing director of a UCB shall function under the overall general superintendence, direction and control of the Board of Directors of the bank. The UCBs shall ensure that the MD/ Whole-Time Director shall be a graduate, preferably with qualification in banking / cooperative banking such as CAIIB / diploma in banking and finance/diploma in cooperative business management or equivalent qualification, or Chartered / Cost Accountant / MBA (Finance), or post-graduation in any discipline. A circular issued by the central bank in this regard specifically state that, the MD/ CEO shall not be holding the position of a member of Parliament or state legislature or municipal corporation or municipality or other local bodies.
RBI has also decided that all UCBs having asset size of ₹50 billion or above, shall appoint a Chief Risk Officer (CRO) by 31 March 2022 and set up a Risk Management Committee of the Board. The Board must clearly define the CRO’s role and responsibilities and ensure that he/she functions independently. The CRO shall have adequate professional qualification/experience in the area of risk management. In case the CRO reports to the MD/CEO, the Board or the RMC shall meet the CRO, without the presence of the MD & CEO, at least on a quarterly basis. Further, there shall not be any ‘dual hatting’ for CRO. RBI has also laid a number of other specifications in a couple of latest circulars to the UCBs.
