INTRODUCTION
A cooperative (also co-operative; often referred to as a co-op) is a
business organization owned and operated by a group of individuals
for their mutual benefit.
It is autonomous associations of persons united voluntarily to meet
their common economic, social, and cultural needs and aspirations
through jointly owned and democratically controlled enterprises.
A cooperative may also be defined as a business owned and controlled
equally by the people who use its services or by the people who work
there.
Co-operative banks function on the basis of "no-profit no-loss". Co-
operative banks, as a principle, do not pursue the goal of profit
maximization.
BACKGROUND
The Co-operative banks have 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 fulfill, 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.
In India, co-operative banks finance small borrowers in industrial
and trade sectors, besides professional and salary classes.
Co-operative banks are regulated by the Reserve Bank of India
and governed by the Banking Regulations Act, 1949, and
Banking Laws (Co-operative Societies) Act, 1965. Rural co-
operative banks are regulated by state registrar of co-operatives.
Urban co-operative banks should have a minimum capital of Rs 4
crore and a membership of at least 3,000 in a population of more
than Rs 10 lakh. The figure of minimum membership keeps
decreasing with a decrease in population.
SOURCES OF FUND
The sources of funds for co-operative banks are:
central and state government, Reserve Bank of India and
NABARD, other co-operative institutions, ownership funds and
deposits or debenture issues.
Intra-sectoral flows of funds are much greater in co-operative
banking than in commercial banking.
Inter-bank deposits, borrowings and credit also form a
significant part of assets and liabilities of co-operative banks.
