New HR policy must be introduced to recover training costs from Probationers who serve the bank for less than 5 years. III. The Bank must appoint an internal committee to find out the reasons for the attrition of Probationary Officers. Correct Answer Only II and III follow.

Clearly, nobody can be forced to work against their wish and such a bond will be deemed illegal.

Hence, Course of Action I does not follow.

Let’s evaluate Course of Action II.

It is a viable action and Bank is well within its right to recover the training expenses from Probationary Officers who don’t serve the requisite amount of years.

Hence, Course of Action I follows.

Course of Action III also follows since it is necessary to find out the reasons for attrition of the Probationary Officers so that remedial measures can be taken.

Hence, only II and III follow.

Statement: India’s pharmaceutical sector is now popping out from a shell and making a remarkable recovery. Actually, it has been facing several regulatory challenges in the forms of a recast of foreign direct investment (FDI) policy, pricing policy in the US generics market, patent protection, regulatory approvals and compulsory licensing. Also limited new product launches in the generics space, GST introduction and higher costs associated with regulatory compliance have hurt the sector. Courses of action: I. The government has been engrossed more in policy making and taking resilient decisions for the concerns of the pharma industry. Recently, the government proposed to introduce a new price index for pharmaceutical products, which would serve as a benchmark for determining prices of all medicines sold in the country. II. Meanwhile, pharma companies’ constant investments in R&D have enabled them to develop a basket of robust products for markets across the world. In international markets, pricing pressure on generics sold in the US has eased and this is likely to support the sector. III. Domestic pharma sales grew to Rs. 10,583 crore in May 2018 from Rs. 9,549 crore in the same month last year. The recent clearance by the US Food and Drug Administration to Sun Pharma’s manufacturing plant at Halol in Gujarat brings to an end a two-year import ban it had imposed on the company over quality issues. This is likely to increase sales for the company.

Statement: Former RBI chief Raghuram Rajan has dissected the banking crisis in his recent analysis of non-performing assets (NPAs). He implies that cronyism is an important cause. Rajan says one reason for NPAs was over-optimism after the initial success of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in infrastructure during 2006-08, leading to explosive expansion without due diligence. Second, slower GDP growth after 2008 meant that traffic and industrial demand were far less than projected. This was exacerbated by delays in land acquisition, and non-availability of gas and coal for power plants.  Courses of action: I. Rajan says he sent a list of prominent bank fraud cases to the PMO, but heard nothing more about it. This has led to accusations that cronyism has been the root cause of record NPAs. That is simply wrong.  II. Besides, bond buyers - mutual funds, pension funds, insurance companies - will be decimated if bond defaults are as common as bank NPAs, and the human and economic impact may be just as bad.  III. Banks should not be forced to get into project finance at all, let alone on a grand scale. They grew for decades through working capital and retail lending. They had no ability to judge project costs or risks. But they jumped in, often on political orders or pressures.

Statement: The India Risk Survey 2017 report ranks 'Information & Cyber Insecurity' as the biggest risk facing Indian companies. Indian organizations, both public and private, had witnessed over 27,000 incidents of security threat, from January 2017 till June 2017 alone. Phishing, scanning/probing, website intrusions and defacements, virus/malicious code, ransomware, Denial of Service attacks, and data breaches are some ways in which hackers attack business websites, which can cause operational disruptions and potentially steal sensitive information. Small and medium businesses (SMBs), unfortunately, have been seeing rising incidences of cybercrime. In fact, 70 percent of cyberattacks occur at organizations with lesser than 100 employees  Courses of action: I. Mandate basic security practices and policies for all employees, such as 2-factor authentication, internet use guidelines and create and enforce rules on handling and protecting sensitive data. Conduct frequent training to sensitize employees about opening suspicious emails, encrypting their data, using strong passwords on their devices, installing security apps, and limiting activity over public Wi-Fi. Implement and enforce incident reporting to help ensure that even the smallest breach is report to management as well as the IT teams. II. Basics still matter and are some of the best defenses against viruses, malware, and other online threats. Assess the assets that are most at risk - data, servers, network - and ensure that the systems are updated with the latest security software, web browser, and operating system. Implement firewall security and run antivirus software after each update.  III. Ensure regular backup of all critical data - whether stored in-house or on the cloud. Run scheduled attack drills and stress tests to identify vulnerabilities and ensure that data restoration and business continuity are executed as planned.

Investors fretted about the company's ability to cope without Musk, a charismatic entrepreneur whose penchant for coming up with revolutionary ideas has drawn comparisons to one of Silicon Valley's most revered visionaries, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.  III. Besides paying a fine and stripping Musk of his chairman's title, Tesla also must appoint two more directors who have no ties to the company or its management.

Statement: Soon you would not need to carry original copies of all vehicle papers like driving licence, vehicle registration certificate, insurance, pollution certificate or the permits issued to commercial vehicles with you. According to a ToI report, the Centre plans to amend Motor Vehicles Rules to make it legal for any citizen to carry digital vehicle documents and simultaneously making it compulsory for traffic police to accept digital version of documents. This means that you would not have to carry physical papers in your vehicle as digital copies of the certificates would be valid.  Courses of action: I. The ministry has proposed installation of FASTags on the front windscreens. FASTag is a device that uses radio frequency identification (RFID) technology for making toll payments directly from the user account.  II. To avail the facility, one has to store all the vehicle documents on the government's cloud-based service DigiLocker and when asked he/she can simply display the stored certificates on a smartphone or any other digital devices. These digital copies can be shared with other departments as identity and address proof.  III. The government has increased the maximum load carrying capacity of heavy vehicles, including trucks, by 20-25 per cent besides scrapping the mandatory annual renewal of fitness certificates for freight carriers.

Statement: The numbers are impressive. In its quest towards Swachh Bharat, the government has built 4.98 crore rural household latrines in the last three years. What's more, recent surveys by the NSSO and the Quality Council of India show that over 90% people with access to toilets are using them. Launched with the idea of Clean India, it is expanding from urban to the rural areas and is spreading awareness among the masses. Courses of action: I. Given that most rural areas in India lack proper drainage and a sewage network, the government has focused on building twin-pit toilets. But there is no data on whether the size of hastily built twin pits takes into account the number of users, and whether each pit is enough to collect waste for three years.  II. While this is a positive indicator, there are many other areas that need attention such as the shortage of water, sensitization of citizens, proper maintenance and usage of toilets, and overcoming the resistance to dry manure made from human waste.  III. One of the biggest challenges for Swachh Bharat in rural areas is managing liquid waste, which pollutes natural water bodies. Though the scheme covers this aspect as well, the immediate focus is to deal with open defecation.
