Dear Comrades,
GOING GETS TOUGH – BRING OUT THE BEST IN YOU
Yes Comrades! It is a nightmare once again. The promise and hope of a turnaround thwith achieving of net prot in the 4 Quarter was left to be a mirage.
Time and again, uninching WILL of our members to meet challenges head on, to swim
against threatening tides, to emerge winners in the face of crisis, has been etched in the
pages of IOB & IOBOA's history.
The results of the nancial year 2016 – 17 gives us a mixed feeling as it has green leaves
and red points as well for our concern. The misery has been compounded through
Slippage out of MOC for about Rs. 2000 Crore, which also proved to be the spoil sport of a
good performance.
A quick glance at the positive side:
Ÿ The Operating Prot has increased year on year basis and stood at Rs. 3650.21
Crores.
Ÿ Other Income increased by Rs. 844.38 Crores compared to previous year.
Ÿ Reduction in operating expenses by Rs.113.48 Crores.
Ÿ Notable improvement in the Net Interest Margin to 2.03% from 1.94%, though
small, a gain is a gain.
Ÿ Increase in CASA by 7.37% over previous scal
Ÿ Earnings per Share improved by Rs. 4.08 which is a result of improved
performance.
Ÿ Recovery made during 2016-17 is Rs. 8710 crores, a big turnaround compared to
2015-16 of Rs. 5872 Crores.
Ÿ Bank has met all its commitments under bonds, debentures and coupons.

Comrades, the positive results are from Other Income, Increase in CASA, rationalising
high cost deposit. The persuasive recoveries in NPA and expansion under Retail
segment have contributed to a great extent in visible increase in Gross Prot. This is
possible only because of the dedication and hard work of our Comrades.
The above positives had not been strong enough to ensure a robust balance sheet. The
bourgeoning NPAs and the resultant provisions have robbed the fruits of our hard
labour and the bank had posted a net loss of Rs. 2,897.33 Crore for the previous scal.
Continued misrepresentation in the media about our bank is another depressing factor.
It is now left to the collective strength and will of all of us to take the “bull by its horn”
and face the challenges with grit and determination. Shying away from credit expansion
under the guise of probable staff accountability has contributed to the worsening of the
situation and though there has been a substantial credit expansion in Retail Credit much
accretion needs to be done in corporate accounts. The recent establishment of Retail
Business Mart is a step in the right direction. The issues espoused by us for redressing
vide our Circular No. 01/17 dated 01.01.2017 is being pursued relentlessly, is engaging
the attention of management and expected to be redressed shortly.
Comrades, though we are at crossroads, we continue to keep our hope aoat and
positivity intact and “pull up our socks” to tackle the greatest menace in the banking
arena – NPA.
NPA had been continuously an ordeal for the past eight quarters and we have been
battling ceaselessly to control the same. This menace is threatening and engulfed the
entire banking system including IOB. We are deeply disheartened but then IOBOA has
never taken things lying down. It is time to act. Let us take a vow in our Golden Jubilee
Year to contribute our mite for our cherished dream of turnaround.
We have been repeatedly exhorting our comrades to go for aggressive recovery of NPAs
and are happy that due to the never say die attitude exhibited by the rank and le the
bank has witnessed an impressive recovery of Rs.8710 crores in the current scal. It is
time for motivation through promotion and transfers. It is need for forging unity to walk
shoulder to shoulder to achieve our mission. Surveillance will only demoralize the work
force and it will be counter productive.
