Public sector lender Central Bank of India is harboring ambitious plans of increasing its presence in the offshore mainland. The major focus of the bank would be on the African region.

Speaking on the issue, CMD of the bank, Mr S Sridhar said that the bank aims to start operations in countries like Mozambique, Bhutan, Hong Kong, Dubai and Sri Lanka.

Owing to huge penetration opportunities in Africa, the bank primarily plans to start operating in Mozambique.

In this regard, the bank has already signed up a joint venture with a local business giant in Africa. The shareholding would be such that the company would have 76% stake while the remaining 24% stake would be held by Central Bank of India.

In terms of domestic operations, the bank has said that financial inclusion is its priority this fiscal. It aims to open a branch each in 627 districts in the country.

1. Central Bank of India is the worst tenant among the PSU banks. People are cautioned not to lease their premises to the Central Bank of India for any purpose lest not only they even their generaTIONS WOULD REPENT. First of all they would never give you fair rent nor would maintain the premises in satisfactory condition and thirdly they would never vacate your premises even if they do not have any office or branch in that premises. In fact the central bank of india is builder mafia forcibly occupying the premises of poor landlords.In 1941 my father in law let out a prime property admeasuring 3800 sq. ft. at Chowk (opp. chowk police station)to Central Bank of India for opening its chowk branch. Despite repeated efforts and law, the Bank did not increase the monthly rent from Rs. 437.50. Not only this it also did not pay electricity dues, house tax and water tax in respect of the above premises despite agreement for the same. The employees have stolen antique wooden doors from the premises and the Bank is contemplating to take away the iron room built by us.On 01.06.2011, it gave to us in writing that the premises has been vacated on 31 May 2011 but despite our representatives sitting there for two days it did not hand over the vacant posession of the said premises due to obvious reasons.Therefor, l;andlords beware of the Central Bank of India as tenant.
