Explanation:

Central Government notified the amendment to the Nationalised Banks (Management and Miscellaneous Provisions) Scheme, 1980 providing the legal framework for composition and functions of the Banks Board Bureau on March 23, 2016. The Bureau accordingly started functioning from April 01, 2016 as an autonomous recommendatory body.

The board comprises the Chairman, three ex-officio members i.e. Secretary, Department of Public Enterprises, Secretary of the Department of Financial Services and Deputy Governor of the Reserve Bank of India and three expert members. The Governor of RBI is not its chairman. Hence statement 1 is not correct. The Banks Board Bureau is mandated to select and appointment Board members for various financial institutions in public sector like Public sector banks, insurance companies. It is also required to undertake activities in the sphere of governance in these institutions. The functions of the Bureau outlined in the Section 7(C) of the Scheme and in subsequent amendments as per orders of Appointment Committee of the Cabinet are : -

a) To recommend the selection and appointment of Board of Directors in Mandated Institutions (Whole Time Directors and Chairman). Hence statement 2 is correct.
