The basic salary of Jagdishan stood at ₹2.8 crore, while allowances and perquisites amounted to ₹3.31 crore. Provident fund, superannuation, performance bonus, and number of stock options amounted to a total payout of ₹4.4 crore.
Kaizad Bharucha, executive director of the bank, took home an annual package worth ₹10 crore, of which ₹2.7 crore was basic pay, ₹4.3 crore was allowances and perquisites, while the rest ₹2.9 crore was superannuation, performance bonus, and stock options.

Of the total grant worth 3,05,186, Jagdishan was allotted 97,877 employee stock options for the performance year 2020-21 on July 22, 2022, and total of 2,07,309 employee stock options for 2021-22 on March 03, 2023.
In his note in the annual report, Jagdishan says India is predicted to grow around 6% in the current financial year. "This is lower than last year’s growth but is still much higher than what is projected for many developed economies. The recession fears in major economies and an expected slowdown in export growth means that India cannot remain entirely insulated from global pressures. However, the domestic resilience as reflected in 2022-23 is an indicator that India is likely to withstand future headwinds. This brings me to the India story."
Similarly, of the total grant of 2,30,512, Bharucha was allotted 1,09,782 employee stock options for the performance year 2021-22 on March 03, 2023.
