They call it Sarkari work culture, colloquially, in Indian workplaces. Bureaucratic work culture, i.e. They have 22000+ Branches in all sorts of creepy places imaginable in the country, for the sake of being Banker to every Indian. Most employees are ordinary graduates with zero to minus pedigree and compensate for their lack of Brains by showing bossism. Worst part is that the organisation is filled to the very core with मादरचोद Biharis, and they are in the process of, and eventually completely destroy whatever good is left in it. Targets are reality of all jobs in this country, but SBI was earlier known for being a little better in terms of bending rules to achieve them.
