In SBI, we cannot expect the implementation of the DFs guidelines with spirit. It depends upon the will and wish of persons sitting in the chairs of AO and LHO. Unions are also deaf and dumb. The leaders also interested to protect their own people only (many of such people are being posted near and arounnd years together on the name of exceptional grounds). So many disparities are there. If any one asked or challenged for their legitimate right, they will be targeted.
