As of December 1st, 41,177 positions, or 5% of total sanctioned posts at Public Sector Banks, are vacant, as informed by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. The minister was replying to a question in the Lok Sabha about whether the government is aware of the fact that the PSBs are suffering from a severe staff shortage, preventing them from doing their tasks adequately. The minister said that 95 per cent of the sanctioned personnel strength was in place.
Public Sector Banks have more than 8,05,986 sanctioned positions (PSBs). According to data, SBI had the most empty positions among the banks, with 8,544. The minister said that the small fraction of vacancies is mainly due to superannuation and other resignations.
Ms. Sitharaman in the written statement, stated, "As of 1.12.2021, there are 8,05,986 sanctioned posts and 41,177 unfilled posts in Public Sector Banks."

Punjab National Bank (PNB) has 6,743 empty positions, compared to 8,544 in the State Bank of India (SBI). At SBI, there were 3,423 vacancies are of officer positions and 5,121 clerical positions.
