The Bureau interviewed 21 candidates and selected Alok Kumar Choudhary for the position of general manager of SBI based on their performance, BBB said in a statement.
Choudhary, who is Deputy Director (Finance), will replace Ashwini Bhatia, who has been appointed a full-time member of Sebi.

The Prime Minister approved the creation of BBB in 2016 as a body of distinguished professionals and officers to make recommendations for the appointment of full-time directors and non-executive chairmen of public sector banks (PSBs).
