Cooperative Banking
2
Nature 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.
3
Types 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.
