Regional Rural Banks were established under the provisions of an Ordinance passed on 26
September 1975 and the RRB Act. 1976
These were set up on the recommendations of The Narasimham Working Group during the tenure
of Indira Gandhi's government with a view to include rural areas into economic mainstream since
that time about 70% of the Indian Population was of Rural Orientation.
The development process of RRBs started on 2 October 1975 with the forming of the first RRB, the
Prathama Bank.
Also on 2 October 1976 five regional rural banks were set up with a total authorised capital of Rs.
100 crore ($10 Million) which later augmented to 500 crore ($50 Million).
The Regional Rural Bank were owned by the Central Government ,the State Government and the
Sponsor Bank(There were five commercial banks, Punjab National Bank, State Bank of India,
Syndicate Bank, United Bank of India and United Commercial Bank, which sponsored the regional
rural banks) who held shares in the ratios as follows Central Government-50%, State Government15% and Sponsor Banks- 35%.
Earlier, Reserve Bank of India had laid down ceilings on the rate of interest to be charged by these
RRBs. However from August 1996 the RRBs have been granted freedom to fix rates of interest,
which is usually in the range of 14-18% for advances.
Organizational Structure
The Organizational Structure for RRB's varies from branch to branch and depends upon the nature and size
of business done by the branch. The Head Office of an RRB normally had three to seven departments.
The following is the decision making hierarchy of officials in a Regional Rural Bank.
1. Board of Directors
2. Chairman & Managing Director
3. General Manager
4. Chief Manager/Regional Managers
5. Senior Manager

Highlights of RBIs 2nd Bi-Monthly Monetary Policy
Shortterm lending rate (repo) cut by 0.25 per cent to 7.25 per cent
Cash Reserve Ratio unchanged at 4 per cent
Statutory Liquidity Ratio retained at 21.5 per cent
Inflation expected to rise to 6 per cent by January 2016
60 | P a g e
Growth forecast lowered to 7.6 per cent for 2015-16 from 7.8 per cent projected in April.
RBI Estimates Current Account Deficit at 1.5% in FY16
Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on 16 July 2015 permitted Cooperative Banks with Core Banking
Solution (CBS) to issue ATM cards/ATM-cum-debit cards in tie with a sponsor banks. The decision
was taken by the RBI in an attempt to move towards a less-cash economy and with an aim to
inculcate the habit of using electronic payment channels among bank customers.
Following are the criteria to become a sub-member of NFS:
i. Core Banking Solution (CBS) fully implemented
ii. Licence for conducting banking business Introduction from sponsor bank (a bank having
ATM network connectivity)
iii. Connectivity with National Payment Corporation of India (NPCI)
iv. The decision is in addition to the earlier decision of the RBI taken on 16 April 2015 to allow
State Cooperative Banks (StCBs) to install offsite/ mobile ATMs as per their need and
potential in their area of operation.
However, they were allowed to install mobile ATMs only with prior permission of the RBI and
subject to satisfyingthe following criteria:
i. CRAR not being less than 9 per cent
ii. No default in maintenance of CRR/SLR during the preceding financial year
iii. Net NPA being less than 5 per cent
iv. The bank should have a track record of regulatory compliance and no monetary penalty
should have been imposed on the bank on account of violation of RBI directives/guidelines
during last two financial years
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on 15 July 2015 constituted a committee to work out a five-year
(medium-term) action plan for financial inclusion. The 14-member panel will be headed by RBI
executive director Deepak Mohanty. The Committee will work to spread the reach of financial
services to unbanked population.
To review the existing policy of financial inclusion including supportive payment system and
customer protection framework taking into account the recommendations made by various
committees set up earlier.
To study cross country experiences in financial inclusion to identify key learnings, particularly in the
area of technology-based delivery models, that could inform our policies and practices.
Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on 16 July 2015 directed banks to ensure that their overall direct
lending to farmers should not fall below the average of last three years. The direction was given by
RBI against the backdrop of government expressing concern over adverse impact of any reduction
in direct credit, given the adverse weather conditions. Further, the RBI warned the banks that direct
lending below the target set for priority sector lending will attract usual penalties. The apex bank
also said that banks should also continue to maintain efforts to reach the level of 13.5 percent
direct lending to beneficiaries who earlier constituted the direct agriculture sector.
The RBI has asked banks to consider the due date on which the customer is supposed to pay the
minimum amount towards credit card dues while calculating the 90-day period beyond which the
customer will be considered an NPA if there is no payment made.
The Reserve Bank signed a special currency swap agreement with the Central Bank of Sri Lanka that
will allow the latter to draw up to USD 1.1 billion. Under the arrangement, the Sri Lankan bank can
draw up to USD 1.1 billion for a maximum period of six months. This special arrangement is in
addition to the existing Framework on Currency Swap Arrangement for the SAARC member
countries. In March, RBI had signed a Currency Swap Agreement with the Central Bank of Sri Lanka
for USD 400 million under the existing SAARC Currency Swap Framework within the overall limit of
USD 2 billion.
