Govt Cancels Union Bank ED Appointment Over Pending Case
The government has changed its mind about Pankaj Dwivedi's job at Union Bank of India.
He was supposed to be a top boss but is now going back to his old job.
This happened because of a court case questioning his appointment.
The court said he shouldn't have been hired because he didn't have the proper approvals.
So, the government reversed its decision.
The announcement of this change was made on June 24, 2025.
Pankaj Dwivedi's appointment as Executive Director of Union Bank of India was canceled.
The decision was made by the Central Government.
Dwivedi was originally appointed ED in March 2024.
He will return to his previous position as General Manager at Punjab & Sind Bank.
The cancellation followed a pending case in Delhi High Court regarding his appointment due to lack of vigilance clearance.
