Title: Cooperative Banking
1Cooperative Banking
2Nature of Cooperative Bank
Cooperative banking is retail and commercial
banking organized on a cooperative basis.
Cooperative banking institutions take deposits
and lend money in most parts of the world.
Cooperative banking, as discussed here, includes
retail banking carried out by credit unions,
mutual savings banks, building societiesand cooper
atives, as well as commercial banking services
provided by mutual organizations (such
as cooperative federations) to cooperative
businesses.
3Types of Co-operative Banks
- The co-operative banks are small-sized units
which operate both in urban and non-urban
centers. They finance small borrowers in
industrial and trade sectors besides professional
and salary classes. Regulated by the Reserve Bank
of India, they are governed by the Banking
Regulations Act 1949 and banking laws
(co-operative societies) act, 1965. The
co-operative banking structure in India is
divided into following 5 categories
4- State Co-operative Banks
- The state co-operative bank is a federation of
central co-operative bank and acts as a watchdog
of the co-operative banking structure in the
state. Its funds are obtained from share capital,
deposits, loans and overdrafts from the Reserve
Bank of India. The state co-operative banks lend
money to central co-operative banks and primary
societies and not directly to the farmers.
5- Central Co-operative Banks
- These are the federations of primary credit
societies in a district and are of two
types-those having a membership of primary
societies only and those having a membership of
societies as well as individuals. The funds of
the bank consist of share capital, deposits,
loans and overdrafts from state co-operative
banks and joint stocks. These banks provide
finance to member societies within the limits of
the borrowing capacity of societies. They also
conduct all the business of a joint stock bank.
6- Urban Co-operative Banks
-
- The term Urban Co-operative Banks (UCBs), though
not formally defined, refers to primary
co-operative banks located in urban and
semi-urban areas. These banks, till 1996, were
allowed to lend money only for non-agricultural
purposes. This distinction does not hold today.
These banks were traditionally centered on
communities, localities, work place groups. They
essentially lend to small borrowers and
businesses. Today, their scope of operations has
widened considerably.
7- Land Development Banks
- The Land development banks are organized in 3
tiers namely state, central, and primary level
and they meet the long term credit requirements
of the farmers for developmental purposes. The
state land development banks oversee, the primary
land development banks situated in the districts
and tehsil areas in the state. They are governed
both by the state government and Reserve Bank of
India. Recently, the supervision of land
development banks has been assumed by National
Bank for Agriculture and Rural development
(NABARD). The sources of funds for these banks
are the debentures subscribed by both central and
state government. These banks do not accept
deposits from the general public
8- Primary Co-operative Credit Society
- The primary co-operative credit society is an
association of borrowers and non-borrowers
residing in a particular locality. The funds of
the society are derived from the share capital
and deposits of members and loans from central
co-operative banks. The borrowing powers of the
members as well as of the society are fixed. The
loans are given to members for the purchase of
cattle, fodder, fertilizers, pesticides, etc.
9- The origins of the urban co-operative banking
movement in India can be traced to the close of
nineteenth century. Inspired by the success of
the experiments related to the co-operative
movement in Britain and the co-operative credit
movement in Germany, such societies were set up
in India. Co-operative societies are based on the
principles of cooperation, mutual help,
democratic decision making, and open membership.
Co-operatives represented a new and alternative
approach to organization as against proprietary
firms, partnership firms, and joint stock
companies which represent the dominant form of
commercial organization. They mainly rely upon
deposits from members and non-members and in case
of need, they get finance from either the
district central co-operative bank to which they
are affiliated or from the apex co-operative bank
if they work in big cities where the apex bank
has its Head Office. They provide credit to small
scale industrialists, salaried employees, and
other urban and semi-urban residents.
