With the new government taking charge this week, top-level and senior appointments to financial institutions that are pending for months are expected to be cleared soon, sources said.
A government-appointed panel had conducted interviews to fill top positions at National Housing Bank and India Infrastructure Finance Company Ltd. The names of shortlisted candidates are before the Appointments Committee of Cabinet, sources said.
Infrastructure lender IIFCL has been without a regular managing director for the past 22 months, while housing finance regulator NHB has been headless since August last year following the resignation of Sriram Kalyanaraman amid allegations of irregularities and misconduct against him.
With the new government in place, it is expected that appointment notification would be issued soon, sources said.
