Q29: As per the rules for the State Level Bankers’ Committee, what is the lowest acceptable rank for a Zonal Head to be designated as the Convenor when a General Manager is unavailable?
✅ Correct Answer: B
The correct answer is Deputy General Manager (DGM). The chosen Convenor bank is required to name a General Manager from the bank to act as the State Level Bankers’ Committee (SLBC) Convenor.
If there is no official at the General Manager level available, the Zonal Head of the Convenor bank can be chosen as the Convenor.
However, this is only allowed if the Zonal Head holds a rank that is not below a Deputy General Manager.
If there is no official at the General Manager level available, the Zonal Head of the Convenor bank can be chosen as the Convenor.

🧠 Real-World Scenario:
Imagine the massive State Level Bankers' Committee meeting is tomorrow. Suddenly, the General Manager of the Lead Bank falls terribly sick and cannot be the Convenor.
According to the rules, they can swap in a Zonal Head to run things, but ONLY if that Zonal Head has the rank of Deputy General Manager or higher. This means the RBI ensures that only highly senior executives handle state-level financial decisions.
