      Please let me know whether an employee working in public sector undertaking (PSU) such as a nationalised bank, is a government servant or he is a public servant?

      Employees of a public sector undertaking (PSU) are not government servants. The expression “government servants” includes employees working directly under the central government or any of the state governments or the Government of a union territory.

      However, employees of a public sector undertaking would generally come within the definition of “public servants” within the meaning of section 21 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and section 2 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.
