He joined J&K bank as a scale III officer in the year 1998 and served in the J&K Bank for nearly two decades. He was the senior Executive President before rising to the rank of chairman and CEO. He was removed as chairman and also as a director (government nominee) of J&K Bank On 8 June 2019 by government of J&K state when the state was under presidential/Governor rule. As there is no direct provision for removal of Chairman under Companies Act, 2013/ Banking Regulation Act, 1949, he was removed as a government nominee director consequent upon which he ceased to be the Chairman of J&K bank. The way in which the removal was done was condemned by the J&K Bank Officers Association in their press release dated 17 June 2019 published in the Greater Kashmir (Local English Newspaper). The J&K Bank Officers Association and Traders' federations, though, supported the attempts by the state government to improve the transparency, accountability, fair recruitment policy and governance in J&K Bank. The anti-corruption bureau of J&K registered an FIR and made several raids including the ones at the corporate office of J&K Bank at Srinagar and at the residence of the ousted Chairman Parvez Ahmed.
