a community or a religious group. They operate in metropolitan, urban and semi urban

centers to cater to the needs of small borrowers.

Regional Rural Banks:-

These came into being on October 2, 1975 when 5 regional rural banks were

established under what became the Regional Rural Banks Act 1975. These were to

bridge the gap in rural credit granting loans and advances to small and marginal

farmers, artisans, small entrepreneur and persons of small means engaged in trade,

commerce, industry or other productive ,activities within their area of operation.

Local Area Banks:-

Local Area Banks came into existence in 1999 and licenses were given for these banks

as it was felt that regular commercial banks were not financial the rural/ agricultural

sector adequately. Licenses were given to open branches in three districts. Branches in

urban/ semi urban areas were granted only after ten branches were established in rural

areas/ villages.
