COOPERATIVE BANK
Chapter 1
1.1: Introduction
Almost all of the industrial enterprises whether they are into manufacturing, trading or service sector need bank finance in order to run the businesses. So everyone approaches the bank at some point of time for business loan whether it is for running day to day business or for setting up of a new project. A banker appraises the proposal and then decides whether to lend the money or not. Some tips on what goes behind the credit appraisal of the proposal by the banker.
Credit Appraisal It is the process of appraising the credit worthiness of a loan applicant. Factors like age, income, number of dependents, nature of employment, continuity of employment, repayment capacity, previous loans, credit cards, etc. are taken into account while appraising the credit worthiness of a person. Every bank or lending institution has its own panel of officials for this purpose.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The purpose of research is to discover answer to the questions through the application of scientific procedures. The main aim of research is to find out the truth which is hidden and which has not been discovered as yet. Though each research study has its own Specific purpose, we may think of following broad categories:
To gain familiarity with a phenomenon or to achieve new insights Into it.
To portray accurately the characteristics of a particular individual, Situation or a group.
To determine the frequency with which something occurs or with which it is associated with something else.
Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It may be understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. In it we study the various steps that are generally adopted by a researcher in studying his research problem along with the logic behind them.
Research methodology has many dimensions and research methods do constitute a part of the research methodology. The scope of research methodology is wider than that of research methods. Thus, when we talk of research methodology we not only talk of the research method but also consider the logic behind the methods we use in the context of our research study and why we are using a particular method or technique and we are not using others so that research results are capable of being evaluated either by the researcher himself or by other. Why a research study has been undertaken, what data have been collected and what particular method has been adopted, why particular technique of analyzing data has been used and a host of similar other question are usually answered when we talk of research methodology concerning a research problem or study.
Research is often described as active; diligent and systematic process of inquiry aimed at discovering, interpreting and revising facts. This intellectual investigation produces a greater understanding of events, behaviors or theories and makes practical application through laws and theories. In other words we can say the purpose of research is to discover answer to the questions through the application of scientific procedures. The main aim of research is to find out the truth which is hidden and which has not been discovered as yet.
To carry out my project I have used the descriptive research.
Descriptive research includes survey and fact finding enquiries of different kinds. The major purpose of descriptive research is description of the state of affairs, as it exists at present. The main characteristic of this method is that the researcher has no control over the variable; he can only report what is happening. It is also called as ex post facto research. Most ex post facto research projects are used for descriptive studies in which researcher seeks to measure such items as, for example, frequency of shopping, preferences of people, or similar data. Descriptive research also includes attempts by the researcher to discover causes even when they cannot control the variables. The methods of research utilized in descriptive research are survey method of all kinds.
WHY DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH?
In this case descriptive research was most suitable because it helped in giving focus to the preferences, knowledge, beliefs & satisfaction of a group of people in a given population and characteristics of the successful and unsuccessful companies. Moreover it helped in determining the relationship between two and more variables.
DATA SOURCE
To carry out the project work I have consulted the various secondary sources of data such as Magazines, Journals and websites.

4.1: BANKING SECTOR- AN OVERVIEW
Banking in India originated in the last decades of the 18th century. The oldest bank in existence in India is the State Bank of India, a government-owned bank that traces its origins back to June 1806 and that is the largest commercial bank in the country. Central banking is the responsibility of the Reserve Bank of India, which in 1935 formally took over these responsibilities from the then Imperial Bank of India, relegating it to commercial banking functions. After India's independence in 1947, the Reserve Bank was nationalized and given broader powers. In 1969 the government nationalized the 14 largest commercial banks; the government nationalized the six next largest in 1980.
Currently, India has 88 scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) - 27 public sector banks (that is with the Government of India holding a stake), 31 private banks (these do not have government stake; they may be publicly listed and traded on stock exchanges) and 38 foreign banks. They have a combined network of over 53,000 branches and 17,000 ATMs. According to a report by ICRA Limited, a rating agency, the public sector banks hold over 75 percent of total assets of the banking industry, with the private and foreign banks holding 18.2% and 6.5% respectively
Indian Banking sector is dominated by Public sector banks (PSBs) which accounted for 72.6% of total advances for all SCBs as on 31st March 2008. PSBs have rapidly expanded their foot prints after nationalization of banks in India in 1969 and further in 1980. Although there is a restrictive entry/expansion for private and foreign banks in India, these banks have increased their presence and business over last 5 years.
Peculiar characteristic of Indian banks unlike their western counterparts such as high share of household savings in deposits (57.4% of total deposits), adequate capitalisation, stricter regulations and lower leverage makes them less prone to financial crisis, as was seen in the western world in mid FY09.
The Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs) in India have shown an impressive growth from FY04 to the mid of FY09. Total deposits, advances and net profit grew at CAGR of 19.6%, 27.4% and 20.2% respectively from FY03 to FY08. Banking sector recorded credit growth of 33.3% in FY05 which was highest in last 2 and half decades and credit growth in excess of 30% for three consecutive years from FY04 to FY07, which is best in the banking industry so far. Increase in economic activity and robust primary and secondary markets.
A significant improvement in recovering the NPAs, lowest ever increase in new NPAs combined with a sharp increase in gross advances for SCBs translated into the best asset quality ratio for banking sector in last two decades. Gross NPAs to gross advances ratio for SCBs decreased from the high of 14% in FY2000 to 2.3% in FY08.
The law governing Banking Activities in India is Called “Negotiable Instruments Act 1881”. The banking activities can be classified as:
• Accepting Deposits from public / other (Deposits)
• Lending money to public (Loans)
• Transferring money from one place to another (Remittances)
• Acting as trustees
• Acting as intermediaries
• Keeping valuables in safe custody
• Collection Business
• Government Business
Banking Segment in India functions under the umbrella of Reserve Bank of India – the regulatory, central bank. This segment broadly consists of:
Commercial Banks
Co-operative Banks
Commercial Banks:
In 1969, fourteen major commercial banks were nationalized. In 1980, six more commercial banks were nationalized. The State Bank of India and its subsidiaries are also own by the central government. After this amendment the existing structure has evolved in
Public sector
Private sector
Public sector banks have either the Government of India or Reserve Bank of India as the majority shareholder. This segment comprises of:
State Bank of India (SBI) and its subsidiaries.
Other nationalized banks.
Private sector banks consist of
Scheduled Commercial Banks
Unscheduled Banks
Scheduled commercial Banks Constitute those banks which have been included in the Second Schedule of Reserve Bank Of India (RBI) Act, 1934. RBI in turn includes only those banks in this schedule which satisfy the criteria laid down vide section 42 (60 of the Act. Some co-operative banks are scheduled commercial banks albeit not all co-operative banks are. Being a part of the second schedule confers some benefits to the bank in terms of access to accommodation by RBI during the times of liquidity constraints.
