Co-operative Banks
The Co-operative banks has a history of almost 100 years. The Co-operative banks are an important constituent of the
Indian Financial System, judging by the role assigned to them, the expectations they are supposed to fulfil, their number,
and the number of offices they operate. The co-operative movement originated in the West, but the importance that such
banks have assumed in India is rarely paralleled anywhere else in the world. Their role in rural financing continues to be
important even today, and their business in the urban areas also has increased phenomenally in recent years mainly due
to the sharp increase in the number of primary co-operative banks.
While the co-operative banks in rural areas mainly finance agricultural based activities including farming, cattle, milk,
hatchery, personal finance etc. along with some small scale industries and self-employment driven activities, the co-
operative banks in urban areas mainly finance various categories of people for self-employment, industries, small scale
units, home finance, consumer finance, personal finance, etc. Some of the co-operative banks are quite forward looking
and have developed sufficient core competencies to challenge state and private sector banks.
According to NAFCUB the total deposits & lendings of Co-operative Banks is much more than Old Private Sector Banks &
also the New Private Sector Banks. This exponential growth of Co-operative Banks is attributed mainly to their much
better local reach, personal interaction with customers, their ability to catch the nerve of the local clientele.
Though registered under the Co-operative Societies Act of the Respective States (where formed originally) the banking
related activities of the co-operative banks are also regulated by the Reserve Bank of India. They are governed by the
Banking Regulations Act 1949 and Banking Laws (Co-operative Societies) Act, 1965.
