The myth about low PSU bank pay

.....So should RBI now withdraw its guidelines on private sector bankers’ salaries? No. Should we now be ready to throw the idea of poorly paid PSU bankers out of the window? Well, possibly out of the study table but not the window. Averages are known to hide a lot. This time they have behaved like swimsuits, revealed a lot as well. What’s happening here? The PSU bank workforce is significantly more aged than the private banks. The average age of employees of state-owned banks is around 50, whereas the same for their private counterparts is around 30. However well the private banks may be paying their employees, it is hard to beat the public sector average since the employees are 20 years senior...........
