Bank of Maharashtra is under scrutiny for allegedly not complying with Marathi language rules, according to the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS). The party has demanded that the bank provide essential services in Marathi, such as application forms and employee communication, across all branches.
During a meeting with the bank’s General Manager, the MNS delegation raised concerns about the bank’s non-compliance with RBI guidelines that require customer services to be provided in regional languages. They also highlighted the underrepresentation of Marathi-speaking employees in managerial roles.
The MNS has a history of advocating for Marathi language and culture, and their renewed focus on these issues ahead of the local elections highlights the importance of regional language representation in public services.
In response to the MNS’s demands, the Bank of Maharashtra has promised to review its practices and align them with RBI guidelines. The MNS has urged the bank to implement Marathi language services, train employees in Marathi, promote local talent, and regularly monitor compliance with regional language rules.
By addressing these concerns, the Bank of Maharashtra has the opportunity to strengthen its relationship with local communities and ensure inclusivity in its operations. The issue of Marathi representation is likely to remain a key topic of discussion as the local elections approach.
