The Policy Department
Bank is a highly structured organisation with a laid down policy for
each facet of its operations. To ensure that the policies are made after
due deliberation and in accordance with the laws of the land on one hand
and regulations/guidelines prescribed by the Central Bank and other
regulatory authorities on the other, every Bank maintains a policy
department. Such departments manned by senior and experienced officials
with the right academic background. Some Banks also recruit specialist
officers like economists, chartered accountants, financial analysts etc.
for this department.
Depending
on the size of the Bank, there may be more than one policy departments
looking after the policy related to different banking activities.
