On 1st June, 2022, the association of staff members of Central Bank of India conducted the Dae Mahino Jashan, after two years due to the pandemic. 

The Jashan was performed as a thanksgiving ceremony in gratitude to the Almighty and for seeking Ahura Mazda’s blessings for the bank’s progress and prosperity. The Jashan, performed by Er. Keki Ravji and Er. Farokh Kateli (ex-staff), was held in Cama Baug Agiary and attended by staff and ex-staff of the bank. It was followed by a Humbandagi.   

Jeroo Irani gave the welcome address, observing two minutes silence for the dearly departed Centralites over the past two years. She also gave a vote of thanks to Dr. Keiki Mehta – ophthalmic surgeon, for sponsoring the program; Homai Daruwalla – ex-Chairperson and MD of the bank, for attending the Jashan every year; Phiroze Sethna of Avan foods for providing refreshments and all staff members for generous donations.  An entertainment session with Ruzbeh Patel’s singing was followed by dinner, bringing the eve to a conclusion as everyone parted on a happy note, hoping that this tradition, started by late Khorshed Oomrigar, will continue in the future. Central bank offers various loan schemes and net banking facilities for excellent digital banking convenience.
