Kolkata: HDFC Bank on Monday suspended one of its senior officials in Kolkata for his unruly behaviour with colleagues during an internal online meeting. In a video that is now viral on the social media, the officer was heard shouting at his junior colleagues for not selling enough banking and insurance products, and not achieving the target. In the video, Pushpal Roy, who was the cluster head in a Kolkata branch of the HDFC Bank, was seen engaging in misconduct and screaming at his employees in Bengali.

Notably, the RBI last month had conducted a meeting with the board of directors of all public sector banks (PSBs) and private banks to discuss matters related to governance and ethics.
Expressing concern over increasing incidents of mis-selling, the finance ministry has warlier directed heads of public sector banks to put in place strong mechanisms to avoid unethical practices for selling insurance policies to customers.
Moreover, the Department of Financial Services has also received complaints that fraudulent and unethical practices are being adopted by banks and life insurance companies for procuring policies from the bank customers.
