India introduces incentive scheme for public bank executives to reduce private sector pay gap.

India's Finance Ministry has introduced a revised Performance-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for public sector bank executives to boost motivation and reduce the pay gap with private sector banks. Eligible executives, including those in nationalized banks and State Bank of India, could receive up to 100% of their annual pay as a PLI. Banks must meet at least three out of four financial criteria, such as positive return on assets and a cost-to-income ratio of no more than 50%, to qualify. The scheme will be effective from the 2023-24 financial year.
