In light of ongoing regional conflicts, Indian banks have been directed by the government to assess the safety of their staff in West Asia, specifically in the UAE, Oman, and Qatar. Many banks have activated their business continuity plans (BCPs) to facilitate remote operations from India. Ashok Chandra, managing director of Punjab National Bank (PNB), confirmed that his team has relocated from the Dubai International Financial Centre to Delhi, where they continue their operations seamlessly. The government has assured banks of full support, including assistance from the Ministry of External Affairs in case of emergencies. Discussions within a crisis management group have focused on strengthening banks' standard operating procedures to ensure business continuity. Following recent attacks in the UAE that injured Indian nationals, Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed India's solidarity with the UAE and emphasized the importance of regional peace and stability. Some banks are cautiously resuming operations as the situation improves, with assurances from the UAE regarding staff safety.
