CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Banks are the institutions which mobilize savings from the public and channelize them to the various sectors of the economy. Banks have been in existence in India since Vedic times. Section 5(b) of the Banking Regulation Act 1949 defines banking as, “Accepting, for the purpose of lending or investment, of deposits of money from the public, repayable on demand or otherwise and withdrawable by cheque, draft or otherwise.” The bank cannot just accept deposit and still idle. For the deposit mobilised they are required to pay interest for taking care of interest payments the bank has to lend the deposit as loans and advances to the needy persons at a rate of interest which is normally more than what the banks pays for its deposits. According to C.R. Fay “a co-operative society is an association for the purpose of joint trading, originating among the weak, and conducted always in an unselfish spirit on such terms that all who are prepared to assume the duties of membership may share in its rewards, in proportion to the degree in which they make use of their association”.

CHAPTER 1INTRODUCTIONBanks are the institutions which mobilize savings from the public and channelize them to the various sectors of the economy. Banks have been in existence in India since Vedic times. Section 5(b) of the Banking Regulation Act 1949 defines banking as, Accepting, for the purpose of lending or investment, of deposits of money from the public, repayable on demand or otherwise and withdrawable by cheque, draft or otherwise.The bank cannot just accept deposit and still idle. For the deposit mobilised they are required to pay interest for taking care of interest payments the bank has to lend the deposit as loans and advances to the needy persons at a rate of interest which is normally more than what the banks pays for its deposits.According to C.R. Fay a co-operative society is an association for the purpose of joint trading, originating among the weak, and conducted always in an unselfish spirit on such terms that all who are prepared to assume the duties of membership may share in its rewards, in proportion to the degree in which they make use of their association.Sir Horace Plunketts definition of co-operation is Self-help made effective by organization. He summed up the theory and practice of co-operation in three famous maxims; Better Farming, Better Business and Better Living. This definition reflects the spirit of co-operative enterprises. It however, lays over-emphasis on the principle of self-help; which is no doubt an important principle of co-operation but the only one.Granding of advance to a prospective client involve various stages, together which is called credit cycle. The main principle of credit management is to see that the funds are deployed in most yielding assets and at the same time the chances of the accounts becoming non-performing assets are very low.The selection of clients has very importance in the credit management of a bank. The objective of credit management is to ensure that the funds lent are repaid without default on the due dates.The concept of lending has existed from the early days of civilization. Now a days credit implies monetary or non-monetary equivalent transactions. It also includes non-monetary and/or barter transactions. Roughly, we can define credit as, A transaction between two parties in which one (the creditor or lender supplies) money equivalent, goods, services, etc. in return for a promise of future payment by the other. Such transactions normally include the payment of interest to the lenders.Credit disbursement means making available the amount of facility that has been approved for a party. As soon as the branch get the approval from the higher authorities for its proposal, the Regional Manager has to verify the covenants and confirms that they are the same as were recommended. The mode of the disbursement depends on the types of advance. If it is a working capital loans normally a running account (cash credit or over draft) is granted. Here the payment is made by fixing drawing limit based on the stock statement submitted by the client. Whenever term loans are granted as far as possible, the disbursement should be made directly to the suppliers of assets by means of Demand Draft or Pay Order. In case of term loans for constructions of buildings, the disbursement should be made in stages and after making physical visit to the site to ascertain the progress of construction.Some debtors do not pay back the credit as promised, creating a credit loss, sometimes even making the creditors bankrupt. But majority of the debtors meet their commitments. There are situations where the creditors end up losing even the debtors settles the dues on time. One cause is inflation. If the rate of inflation exceeds the interest rates, the suppliers or credit are badly affected.Idle economic resources can be effectively put into use through credit. Borrowers who do not have enough resources, which can be returned to the lender after having achieved the objective. Banks and other financial intermediaries collect economic resources mainly in the form of deposits- from the public and engage in intelligent lending. In recovery management of loans it is very important to recover maximum loan amount in minimum period. For achieving this, personal contact and relations with the loan account holder gets high priority and importance. But, the recovery y staff or the bank does not take candid approach towards this relationship and recovery does not remain a regular feature. Ultimately legal action is the resultSTATEMENT OF THE PROBLEMCredit is the trust which allows one party to provide resources to another party where that second party does not reimburse the first party immediately at a later date. The resources provide may be financial, or they may consist of goods or services. Credit is a contractual agreement, in which a borrower receives something of value, with the agreement to repay the lender at some data in future. One of the functions of a bank is to deposit extraction and credit extension and managing credit operations the important needs for any bank.This project is done to find out the extent of the credit disbursement and its repayment to the Service Cooperative Bank at Chirayinkil. Credit is the lifeblood of any bank, so its proper and timely recovery is essential for the existence, growth and development of a bank.From olden times, even a businessman who wanted to take a decision on whether to sell goods on credit to a new prospect used to follow 3Cs of lending, I e. Character, Capacity and Capital. These parameters hold well in case of bank too. Over a period of time, 3 more Cs have been added, ie, Collateral, Conditions, and Credit Records. Those 6Cs have to be analysed well before granting credit to a client. This project is done to find out the effectiveness of the credit disbursement and its repayment in Chirayinkeezhu Service Cooperative Bank.

INTRODUCTION TO THE INDUSTRYKERALA STATE CO-OPERATIVE BANK LTDThe beginning of the Kerala State Cooperative Bank Ltd (KSCB) dates back to early 20th century. In 1914, the then Maharaja of Travancore, his highness The Moolam Thirunal Ramavarma, by his proclamation introduced the Travancore Cooperative Societies Regulation Act. As per the Act, the first cooperative society - The Trivandrum Central Cooperative Bank - was registered in the year 1915. The bank started functioning on 18th January 1916 with a share capital of Rs.1.00 Lakh consisting of 1000 shares of Rs.100 each.Later, in 1943, the bank was converted into the Travancore Central Cooperative Bank with a federal character, for the entire Travancore State. Aftermath of the Indian independence, the bank was reorganized as a State Cooperative Bank for Travancore Cochin State in 1954. On linguistic basis, the State Kerala was formed in the year 1956. Then the bank was also elevated to the position of State Cooperative Bank, and further it became The Kerala State Cooperative Bank Ltd.

CHAPTER 2INTRODUCTIONThis chapter reviews the research work done in the related fields of the study. These are hardly comprehensive studies made available on the research studies done in the cooperative banks. Therefore, in this chapter review of various literatures to support the present study have been done. Knowledge of related research enables the researcher to define the frontier of his fields; it helps in comparing the efficiency of the various procedures and instruments used. Further literature reviews avoid unintentional replications of previous study and also place the researcher in a better position to interpret the significance of his own result. The literature review gives a broad outlook of various research studies made in the past and the details of such studies throw light on future studies to be made. In the present day economy finance is defined as the provision of money at the time when it is required. Every enterprise whether big or small it requires finance to carry on various business operations and to achieve their predetermined goals. A basic definition of finance is a branch of economies that deals with resource management. In sample laymans terms finance is any area of study that help as get manage and invests money. Profitability is expressed in terms of several popular numbers that measure one of two generic types of performance: how much they make with what they take in. Following are the relevant literature reviews for the study:1. Usha Sharma (April 2013), the study conducted on the role of credit disbursement policies of Regional Rural Banks in the sustainable development of Himachal Pradesh economy. The work of RRB in the disbursement policy is fair in rural areas and the people are satisfied with the working of RRB.2. Narayana Gawd Talla, Anand Bethapudi & Reddeppa Reddy (2010), the financial performance of the Dharmavaram Urban Cooperative Bank after 103 years of working achieved a growth of 9.49% in working capital and 8.87% in loan and advances in previous 5 years. The Dharmavaram Urban Cooperative Bank has been achieved less growth in profits and showed moderate performance in banking operations in the last phase of previous 5 years.3. Rajesh Bharadwaj, Priyanka & Rekha Raheja (November 2011), the ACGR of agriculture credit by cooperative banks always less as comparison to ACGR of all India Institutional Agriculture Credit during the period under consideration and the levels of NPAs in cooperative banking system is very high as compared to other financial institutions. Therefore, cooperative banks should control their NPAs level for surviving in credit market of India in future.4. Sachin R Agarwal $ Dr. S. S Solanke (October 2011), the higher authorities of the banking should help the lower authorities in the way of mother institution. They should provide authority, leadership, guidance, supervision and control. The modern practices should be co aided with some institution for remained alive in the modern era. The computerization and improper leadership should be eliminated. They should improve themselves through the principle of cooperation5. Soyeliya Usha (September 2013), in order to overcome the problems faced by cooperative banks such as barriers in smooth flow of credit, interference of government, lack of policies for investments of their funds and barriers in opening a new branch, the cooperative banks should adopt modern methods of banking. The bank should introduce new schemes to attract new customers, they should plan for expansion of branches and they should improve customer services of the bank to a better extent.6. J. Niveditha & G Brindha (2012), the recovery of NPAs is effective provided proper care is taken by shouldering the recovery drive more enthusiastically and confidentially. NPA is a double edged sword, which results in loss in interest income and provisioning which affects profitability.7. Reji Kumar G, Prof. Dr. Sudharani Ravindran (2010), the service quality among cooperative banks in Kerala by taking a sample from Eranakulam district in Kerala revealed that perceived service quality low. The study highlights the need to look inwards by the cooperative banks to develop standards to satisfy its customers to avoid possible drain of its customer base.8. Ranjan Kumar Nayak (December 2012), the cooperative banks are feasible option for inclusive growth through rural development by creating opportunity for employment and income generation. The shortfalls of cooperative banks should be mitigated and this will lead to inclusive growth in our country.9. N. BabithaThimmaiah1, Jnaneshwar Pai Maroor and Shainy V.P (2013) Indian Banking industry (Public sector) is facing two problems. 1. Inefficiency 2.Competition from private players. These problems can be tackled effectively by giving energy boosters like training and development, motivation of employees and by creating super ordinate goals viz survival. 10. Dr. Sandip K. Bhatt, Dharmendra P. Patel (July 2013), co-operative banks have very much importance in sustainable development. Without the help of co-operative banks, millions of people in India would be lacking the much needful financial support. Co-operative banks take active part in local communities and local development with a stronger commitment and social responsibilities. These banks are best vehicles for taking banking to doorsteps of common people, unbanked people in urban and rural areas. Their presence in the social, economic and democratic structure of the country is essential to bring about harmonious development and that perhaps is the best justification for nurturing them and strengthening their base. These banks are sure to win the race because they are from the people, by the people and of the people. Urban Co-operative Bank is very important role for the sustainable development of India. UCBs through various facilities provided to the society. This bank has also financially helped for various sectors. i.e. Education, Health, Social Work, Agriculture, Rural Development, Wedding Function, Cottage and Small Scale Industries, Retail Traders, Wholesale Trade etc. The banks also finance the weaker sections. 11. Erica Field& Rohini Pande (2006), The general opinion of micro-finance practitioners, a large scale randomized field experiment with a typical urban MFI provides no evidence that lower frequency repayment schedules encourage irresponsible repayment behavior among first-time borrowers receiving small loans. in practice, borrower composition may be sensitive to the flexibility of the repayment schedule, which could either reduce or increase an MFI's financial gains from switching from a weekly to a monthly schedule. 12. Yasir Mehmood, Mukhtar Ahmad, Muhammad Bahzad Anjum (2012), in the study regarding cooperates in India with special reference to lending practices find out the agricultural credit serves as a means to empower the farming community and provides a valuable tool to assist the economic development of a country. However, ineffective policies and unproductive use limit the role of agricultural credit which hinders in reducing poverty and fuel the Vicious Circle of Poverty. Through the above mentioned facts and figures it can be concluded that high interest rate on agricultural loans, price hikes, delay in disbursements, lack of sound monitoring by the bank employees, changes in business/residential places, death /accident of the borrowers etc. caused delay in repayments of agricultural credit which resulted in increase in NPLs ratio.

13. Jyoti Gupta, Suman Jain (October 2012), explains the integration of cooperative banks with the financial sector has increased following the inclusion of UCBs in Indian Financial Network (INFINET) and Real Time Gross Settlement System (RTGS) from November 2010. Further the annual policy statement of the Reserve Bank for 2010-11 envisages inclusion of financially sound UCBs in the Negotiated Dealing System (NDS) and opening up of internet banking channel for UCBs satisfying certain criteria. An analysis of deposits and advances base wise distribution of UCBs revealed that banking business was predominantly concentrated in favor of larger UCBs. UCBs with larger deposit base (more than or equal to `500 crore), though accounted for only 4 per cent of total number of UCBs, contributed almost 53 per cent of total deposits Balance sheet of UCBs expanded at a rate of 15 per cent at end-March 2011 over the previous year.

14. Anupam Mitra, Every authority concerned with Co-operative sector will have to play its part in ensuring that the aspirations of the Urban Co-operative Banking sector are nurtured in a manner that depositor interest and the public interest at large is protected. The role of RBI could, thus, be to frame a regulatory and supervisory regime that is multilayered to capture the heterogeneity of the sector and implement policies that would provide adequate elbowroom for the sector to grow in a non-disruptive manner.

15. Ramesh Chander and Jai Kishan Chandel (2011), had done an evaluation of financial performance and viability of cooperative banks - a study of four DCCBS in Haryana (India), they had find out that, being an important constituent of Indian Financial System, Cooperative Credit Institutions have been engaged in wide variety of activities namely, production, processing, marketing, distribution, servicing and banking with broad network of societies and banks in both urban and rural areas. Around 372 District Central Cooperative Banks (DCCBs) in India with large number of branches and extension counters cater to the needs of nearly one lakh societies in rural India. In Haryana 19 DCCBs with more than 200 branches have been operating to fulfill the needs by facilitating self-sufficiency in food grain production, creation of better employment opportunities for rural people and organizational strength to the people having limited means for their sustenance.

16. Dr. Manasa Nagabhushanam had done a study on customer service quality of banks in India. She has been found out that, the expectations of the customers are on the increase, especially those customers who belong to young generation. The banks have to revisit their traditional practices and adapt themselves to satisfy the young generation.

17. Anil Kumar Soni and Dr. Harjinder Pal Singh Saluja (), have studied the role of cooperative banks in agricultural credit: a study conducted in Chhattisgarh. Agricultural credits play a number of significant functions of which the primary include the intensification and growth of the agricultural production. In a developing State like Chhattisgarh with huge deficits in terms of quality and quantity, the State has to shoulder the primary responsibility of providing cooperative credit. Considering the low living standards of common man, incomplete and imperfect markets, and other socio political considerations it is the primary duty of the government to ensure that its citizens have easy access to cooperative credit.

18. B. Muniraja Sekhar & Dr. B. Sudhir (2012), derived the technologically laggard Cooperative banks should realise that the economic class and age composition of their customers is already not favorable. It would obviously be difficult for laggard cooperative banks to attract new young customers if they do not increase their investments on IT in right direction with cautious approach. It is now high time for the decision makers in cooperative banks to realize the need to enlarge the base of computerization and see that the real benefits are delivered at all the levels, customers and stakeholders of the bank. The decision makers have to work out a definitive time frame for technological advancement in their respective banks with complete involvement in monitoring, controlling and evaluating the progress with set parameters.

19. Vidyadhar Anaskar (2007), it is compulsory to follow the provisions of the Co-operative Societies Act, if the bad debts are to be written - off. It is necessary to have the certificate of the statutory auditors, the recommendation of the BOD, the approval of the AGM and lastly permission of the Commissioner of the Co-operative Department.

20. Jayashree R. Kotnal & Dr. L. C. Mulguand (2013), conclude total deposits have been increases in my study. On the contrary the rate of interest is falling every year. The Bank has adopted production oriented and need based leading policy and has been making specific efforts for providing credit facilities for persons falls under the category of priority sector and weaker sections. The bank as to make such schemes and policies that increases in deposit ratio. That attracts the more number of people to be a member of bank. That increases the share capital of the bank.

21. Dr. R. G. Phadatare &Ms. Pisal Sucheta D (2012), Present study was an attempt to find psychological effect of workplace stress on employees and also to find out causes of workplace stress due to task demand, role demand, physical demand and relationship. It was observed that majority of the co-operative bank employees are under medium stress level. Present study shows positive relationship between stress and psychological effects like anger, unease, nervousness, low confidence, wrong decision making and inability to concentrate. Present study will help co-operative banks to reduce stress related problems of their employees.

22. V. Alagu Pandian and R.K. Sharma (2013), there is no significant difference between all sample selected variables of District Cooperative Banks and Urban Cooperative Banks in Dehradun. It is not much influence to the impact of significance difference between DCB and Urban Cooperative Bank in Dehradun.

23. Dr. Debdas Rakshit & Dr. Sougata Chakrabarti (2012), a strong apex cooperative bank is essential for the cooperative banking of the state. The poor NPA management of any cooperative banking in the state may have an adverse impact on other cooperative banks. Over the years, much has been talked about NPAs and the emphasis so far has been only on identification and quantification of NPAs rather than on ways to reduce and upgrade them.

24. Jajashree R Kotnal & Mr. Iftikhar Ahmed M Naikwadi (2010), management of NPA is need of the hour. NPA is key factor in increasing/decreasing net profit of the Bank. The hypotheses prove that the NPA is having direct impact on net profit. The course open to the banker is to ensure that an asset does not become NPA. If it does, he should take steps for early recovery failing which the profitability of the bank will be eroded. Time is of prime essence in NPA management.

25. Ms. S. P. Sreekala (2011), the importance of Asset and Liability Management in every business operation is inevitable and needs due care attention during the course of operation. The attention would help the firm get into liquidation and can survive in the long run successfully. It can also make the stake holders feel little happy if they could witness the business help them in maximizing their wealth.Work site1.

Chapter 3Analysis and DiscussionINTRODUCTIONBanking business has done wonders for the world economy. The simple looking method of accepting money deposits from savers and then lending the same money to borrowers, banking activity encourages the flow of money to productive use and investments. This in turn allows the economy to grow. In the absence of banking business, savings would sit idle in our homes, the entrepreneurs would not be in a position to raise the money, ordinary people dreaming for a new car or house would not be able to purchase cars or houses. The government of India started the cooperative movement of India in 1904. Then the government therefore decided to develop the cooperatives as the institutional agency to tackle the problem of usury and rural indebtedness, which has become a curse for population. In such a situation cooperative banks operate as a balancing centre. At present there are several cooperative banks which are performing multipurpose functions of financial, administrative, supervisory and development in nature of expansion and development of cooperative credit system. In brief, the cooperative banks have to act as a friend, philosopher and guide to entire cooperative structure. The study is based on some successful co-op banks in Delhi (India). The study of the banks performance along with the lending practices provided to the customers is herewith undertaken. The customer has taken more than one type of loan from the banks. Moreover they suggested that the bank should adopt the latest technology of the banking like ATMs, internet / online banking, credit cards etc. so as to bring the bank at par with the private sector banks.

Co-operative banks are small-sized units organized in the co-operative sector which operate both in urban and non-urban regions. These banks are traditionally centered on communities, localities and work place groups and they essentially lend to small borrowers and businesses. The term Urban Co-operative Banks (UCBs), though not formally defined, refers to primary cooperative banks located in urban and semi-urban areas.

These banks, until 1996, could only lend for non-agricultural purposes. As at end-March 2011, there were 1,645 UCBs operating in the country, of which majority were non-scheduled UCBs. Moreover, while majority of the UCBs were operating within a single State, there were 42 UCBs having operations in more than one State. However, today this limitation is no longer prevalent. 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 and home finance.

GRANDING OF LOANS AND ADVANCES

The bank advances loans to the business community and other members of the public. The rate charged is higher than what it pays on deposit. The rate of interest charged on loans and advances varies depending upon the purpose, period and mode of repayment. The difference in the interest (interest on deposit and interest on loans) is its profit.CO-OPERATIVE MOVEMENT IN INDIACo-operative movement in India celebrated its 100-year jubilee in 2004. It was in 1904, the first Co-operative Societies Act was passed in India, which marked the beginning of co-operative movement in India. The co-operative movement was introduced in India with the chief object of making a break-through in the stagnation of the poorer classes, especially the vast majority of agriculturists who were groaning under the heavy weight of indebtedness. It was the bond of debt, which was largely responsible for the deteriorating stage of agriculture and the poverty of the masses. Many of the farmers were literally born in debt, lived in debt and died in debt, passing on their burdens to those who followed. The advent of British rule in India marked some further deterioration in the economic conditions of the farmers.CO-OPERATIVE MOVEMENT IN KERALA Co-operative Movement in Kerala started even before the formation of Kerala state. There were three administrative units in the erstwhile Kerala- viz, Travancore, Cochin and Malabar. In 1949, Travancore and Cochin merged in to a single state known as Travancore- Cochin State. Kerala state was formed in 1956 by merging all the three units.

DEFINITION According to C.R. Fay a co-operative society is an association for the purpose of joint trading, originating among the weak, and conducted always in an unselfish spirit on such terms that all who are prepared to assume the duties of membership may share in its rewards, in proportion to the degree in which they make use of their associationTYPES OF COOPERATIVE BANKSThe co-operative banks are small-sized units which operate both in urban and rural centers. They finance small borrowers in industrial and trade sectors besides professional and salary classes. Regulated by the Reserve bank of India, they are regulated 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: 1. 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.2. Central co-operative banks: These are the federation of primary credit societies in a district and are of two types-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. 3. 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 cap[ital, 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.4. Land development bank: 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 bank situated in the district and urban areas in the state. They are governed both by the state government and RBI. Recently, the supervision of land development banks have 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.5. Urban co-operative bank: The urban co-operative banks, though not formally defined, refer to primary co-operative banks located in urban and semi-urban areas. These banks, till 1996, were allowed to lend money only for non-agriculture 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 scopes of operations has widened considerably.FUNCTIONS OF CO-OPERATIVE BANKSCo-operative banks also perform the basic banking functions of banking but they differ from commercial banks in the following respects:1. Commercial banks are joint stock companies under the companies act of 1956, or public sector under a separate act of a parliament whereas co-operative banks were established under the co-operative societys acts of different states.2. Commercial bank structure is branch banking structure whereas co-operative banks have a three tier setup, with state co-operative bank at apex level, central/district co-operative bank level, and primary co-operative societies at rural level.3. Only some of the sections of banking regulation act of 1949(fully applicable to commercial bank), are applied to co-operative banks, resulting only in a partial control by RBI of co-operative banks4. Co-operative banks function on the principle of cooperation and not entirely on commercial parameters.LOANSA loan is granted for a specific period of time. Generally commercial banks grant short term loans. The borrowers may withdraw the entire amount in lump sum or in installment. However, interest is charged on the full amount of loan. Loans are generally granted against the security of certain assets. A loan may repaid either I lump sum or in installment.ADVANCESAn advance is a credit facility provided by the bank to its customers. It differs from loans in the sense that loans may be granted for long period of time. Further, the purpose of granting advances to meet the day to day requirements of the business. The rate of interest charged on advances varies from bank to bank. Interest is charged only on the amount withdrawn and not on the sanctioned amountQUALITIES OF A GOOD BORROWER Banks are businesses and need to make a profit. So they carefully consider each loan application to make sure they are lending their money to people who are capable of paying them back. Banks cant make money when people default on their loans. Bank officers look for what are called the Six Cs of Credit when determining whether or not to approve someones loan application. Below is a description of each of these six criteria.1. Character: The client should possess a good character. One of the important traits of judging character of a person is his sincerity in meeting commitments and honesty in all his dealings. A person with high integrity will not resort to dubious means and will be committed to doing the business for which finance has been sanctioned. Even if he were to foresee any financial difficulties in the future which would affect the commitment to the bank, he would advance and keep the bank appraised of the same.2. Capacity: The banks will look at your businesss balance sheet and cash flow statement to see how much you can afford to borrow. They will also ask for your personal financial statement to see what kind of debt you can handle. Most small business loans tend to be based on the individuals ability to repay the loan, not on the cash flow of the business. They may ask about your spouses employment as well.

3. Capital: The commitment if any person to any endeavour he undertakes would become only when he has his share of money invested in the business. This is called Capital investment or Owners stake. If the client did not invest any amount and the entire amount is financed by the bank, the chances of the firm not being run professionally are there. It is because of this reason, bankers always insists that the client has to bring some portion of the total investment, which is technically termed as Margin. Bankers always finance the gap between the total funds required for a project and the funds already brought in by the borrower-subject of course to the minimum level that the borrower is expected to contribute.4. Collateral: In banking terms, collateral means taking some security in addition to the primary security, i. e, the assets created out of bank loan. Bank take collateral security in the form of mortgage of property, pledge of shares and securities, hypothecation of movables, etc. the bank do not insists on collaterals for small amounts and also where he risk perception is not high. 5. Conditions: Condition refers to the political c\stability of the country, the demand for the product, the industry prospects, availability of raw materials, infrastructure facilities, etc.6. Credit record: What is the past record of the client regarding payments due for loans taken from the same bank or other banks, credit card defaults, etc. the availability of information from the new agency Credit Information Bureau of India Ltd. would help knowing the credit record of the proponent.

PRINCIPLES OF LENDINGThe major source of funds for lending comes from deposits. These deposits could be of demand nature or time deposits. Customers may come and demand their deposits. Customers may come and demand their deposit, whenever they do it, without any prior notice. The banker is expected to honor the customers mandate by paying the cheque issued the customer. If, for any reason, the banker refused to honor the cheque of a consumer having sufficient balance in the account, he runs danger of losing the trust reposed by the customer and this may lead to the customer of the bank coming simultaneously and demanding repayment of their deposits. In such extreme situations, the central banks of the country (for example, RBI in India) come to the rescue of such a bank by providing funds and issuing statements in the public media about the health of the bank.1. Safety: First cardinal principle of lending is safety. The banker should ensure that the funds lent are safe and would be repaid by the borrowers as per the terms of sanction. Since the major source of funds advance is deposits that belongs to the customers, the banker should be doubly sure that the amounts lent would be received back with interest. the word safety is subjective one but the credit policy and the guidelines of the bank help the Relationship Managers to take proper decision ensuring safety of the loans.2. Liquidity: The second important quality of good lending is liquidity. By liquidity we mean the ability of the bank to convert the assets into cash. The entire amount that a bank mobilizes as deposits cannot be lent. A portion of the deposit should be kept with Reserve Bank of India in the form of cash (Cash Reserve Ratio-CRR) and another stable portion should be invested in approved securities (Statutory Liquidity Ratio). The RBI changes the CRR and SLR as part of the Credit Policy announcement every year, depending on RBIs assessment about the money supply in the economy. If RBI is of the opinion that money supply is more, then it would increase the CRR/SLR so that the lendable funds to the economy. To honor the demands made by its depositors in the form of cheque, bank holds a certain percentage of demand deposits in the form of cash.3. Security: Bankers should be confident of recovering the loans from the business income of the borrower. The assets acquired out of bank finance constitute primary security for the loan. In some cases, where the bankers perceive higher risks in the finance, he may seek additional security in the form of immovable property or shares/securities. These securities are termed as collateral security. Before nationalization of bank in the year1969, bankers were giving lot of importance to security and any person who could offer collateral security was getting loans easily. Collateral securities would be sold by the bank, as a last resort, if a borrower defaults in repayment, despite replacement of the loan and various steps taken for rehabilitation of the unit.4. Spread: the banker cannot afford to grant his entire advances to one particular individual or one type of industry. If it does so, the future performance of the bank would depend entirely upon the success/failure of that particular individual or the industry. A prudent banker follows this principle in two ways:(a) Financing of various industries: Banks in their credit policy detail the cap on the exposure to various industries based on the past experiences and the present exposure. Even RBI has prescribed maximum exposure levels for financing of individuals and groups. As per the current guidelines, maximum exposure, per individual, is restricted to 15% of the capital funds of the banks and 40% for a group. As a measure to encourage financing infrastructure; projects, the exposure limits a\have been kept a little higher, i. e, 20% for individual and 50% for the group, for such projects. These guidelines ensure that the banks do not concentrate their lending to a few individuals or one or two groups. (b) Geographical spread: Banks also follow the practice of not concentrating their lending to one particular geographical location, even though they might have financed to various industries in that locality. Geographical spread helps at times of some calamities occurring in a particular area not very badly affecting the performance of the bank. 5. Purpose: The loan granted should be for an approved purpose and should be for a productive activity. Banks do not grant loans for activities which promote anti-national interest or for speculative /gambling purpose. The purpose of the loan should be for a business which is legally permissible and economically feasible, i. e, capable of generating surplus from its activity6. Profitability: Its general common sense that nobody would do any business to incur losses. This holds good even for a banker, who, by the very nomenclature of commercial bank, is there to do business for profits. Banker should evaluate any proposal on this important aspect since there is no point in doing business without earning any profit.7. Policy validation: The lending should be in tune with: RBIs credit policy Banks credit policy and various product -specific parameters. Not opposed to national policy. National priorities loans to priority sectors, exports at concessional rates of interest.CREDIT CYCLEGranting of advances to a prospective client involves various stages. Together, it is called credit cycle. According to L. C Mather an ideal advance is one which is granted to a reliable customer for an approved purpose in which the customer has adequate experience safe in the knowledge that the money will be used to advantage, and repayment will be made within a reasonable period from trading receipt or other known maturities. Credit cycle includes 6 stages: prospecting, credit investigation, credit proposal, credit approval, credit disbursement and credit monitoring.1. Prospecting: The first stage in credit cycle is prospecting. Prospecting is looking for new clients who would be requiring bank finance. The source for acquisition of new client could be lead from existing borrowers, operated current account survey or a market survey.2. Credit investigation: This is the most important stage in the credit cycle. If the selection of client is good, half the battle is won in the entire credit process. Here, a thorough study is conducted about the prospects- his business, his dealings with suppliers and customers, existing bankers.3. Credit proposal: Once the banker is satisfied about the genuineness of the client and the client risk rating is accepted to the bank, the proposal is put up for approval of the facilities. Irrespective of whether the limits to be approved are within the branch powers or higher authorities, the proposal should be completed in all respects with same commitments. 4. Credit approval: The delay in disbursement of any facilities takes place more because of the delay sat the stage of the cycle. The approval authority should be well conversant with the delegation of powers of the bank, credit policy of the bank and to certain extent the profiles of various industries. While approving any facility, the authorities concerned with the sanctioning of the proposal should have a very practical and pragmatic approach and stipulate conditions which are possible to comply and not stipulate a covenant just as a matter of abundant precaution. confirm5. Credit disbursement: Disbursement means making available the amount of facility that has been approved for a party. As soon as the branch gets approval from the higher authorities for its proposal, the RM has to verify the covenants and confirm that they are the same as were recommended.6. Credit monitoring: Actual work of the RM begins here since he must have a close watch on the conduct of the account to find out if everything OK. An account which was excellent at the time of entry may become bad if there is no adequate follow-up. Follow-up ensures that the fund sanctioned by the bank is properly used by the borrower and there is no diversion. CREDIT DISBURSEMENT OF THE CHIRAYINKEEZHU SERVICE CO-OPERATIVE BANKThe Chirayinkeezhu Service Co-operative Bank has been completed 88 years of functioning and able to achieve one of the top positions of the primary co-operative banks in Kerala.

CREDIT DEPOSIT RATIOCredit-Deposit ratio, popularly CD ratio, is the ratio of how much a bank lends out of the deposits it has mobilised.

Alternatively, a high ratio indicates more reliance on deposits for lending a likely pressure on resources.CD ratio helps in assessing a banks liquidity and indicates its health if the ratio is too low, banks may not be earning as much as they could be. If the ratio is too high, it means that the bank must not have enough liquidity to over any unforeseen fund requirements, may affect capital adequacy and asset-liquidity miss-matches.
