INTRODUCTION
In the year 1939, a man of 60 years who was deeply concerned for the upliftment of downtrodden thought of

lenders. This great visionary was Shaikh Mohammedally Allabaux, the founder chairman of the Bombay
Mercantile Co-Operative Bank Ltd. alongwith Padmashri Zain G. Rangoonwala established the Bank in the
year 1939, which in due course became the largest co-operative bank in the country and in Asia.

The bank created a good track record from its inception. A tiny sapling planted in 1939, became a full-
fledged urban co-operative bank in 1941. To widen its scope and give it a secular outlook the bank was
named Bombay Mercantile Co-operative Bank Limited in 1949 . From the beginning the bank has a policy
of helping petty businessman, vegetable vendors, taxi drivers, small shopkeepers, skilled craftsmen and
other weaker sections of the society.

Established with a profound commitment to financial excellence and community service, Bombay

As a testament to its adaptability, the bank has embraced technological advancements, offering cutting-edge
digital banking solutions alongside its traditional services. This commitment to innovation positions
Bombay Mercantile Bank as a dynamic and customer-centric financial institution.

Driven by a vision to be a leader in the financial sector, Bombay Mercantile Bank continues to expand its

BOMBAY MERCANTILE CO-OPERATIVE BANK LTD. FOOLS


PEOPLE BY CLAIMING THAT RBI LAUDED THE BANK

The controversial Bombay Mercantile Cooperative Bank (BMCB), which has been mired in controversy for
decades has published an advertisement in Business Standard today, which claims, “Reserve Bank of India
(RBI) has expressed its satisfaction about the performance of the bank in its audit report and lauded the
efforts that are undertaken within the rules and regulations”.

BMC Bank’s brazen claim, in the wake of the massive fraud and stringent restrictions on Punjab and
Maharashtra Cooperative Bank (PMC Bank) have astonished bankers, since the RBI is not known to hand
out such certificates, especially in “audit” reports. A top central banker (now retired says), “Such assertions
are false misrepresentations and are downright dangerous for the consumers”.

Moneylife has messaged the image to RBI executive directors in charge of the urban banks department to
ask if the claim was true and if not, what action was being planned by it. As expected, there was no response
from the RBI.

Meanwhile, whistle-blowers of BMC Bank who had filed a public interest litigation (PIL) in the Bombay
High Court, say that this claim is completely false and they are in the process of filing a complaint against
the lender. It may be recalled in this case, an order by the Bombay HC, asking the Central Registrar of
Cooperative Societies did not led to any action to safeguard depositors.

BMCB, one of the oldest, multi-state minority cooperative banks, has faced only mild actions from the RBI
in the past. Such is the lethargy when it comes to their regulation and supervision that even letters from
members of parliament (MPs) leave regulators and the government unmoved.

Two MPs from Shiv Sena, Anand Rao Adsul and Gajanan Kirtikar, had written to the RBI and former
finance minister Arun Jaitley, and the central registrar, in August 2017 about BMC Bank.

In a letter to the RBI deputy governor on 16th August, Mr Kirtikar has expressed surprise at RBI’s lack of
action, when its own inquiry has established embezzlement of funds by the chairman Zeeshan Mehndi.

He had, among other things, drawn attention to two shell companies—Shah Traders and Universal
Enterprises, which were used to route loans to the directors. The same chairman has now issued the
advertisement claiming an endorsement by the RBI.

Here are some of the issues raised by whistleblowers inside the bank in their PIL:

 A Rs540-million bank guarantee given against six allegedly fake FD receipts of Rs90 million each;
 Loans sanctioned to those close to the directors have gone bad;
 Evergreening of bad loans by sanctioning fresh loans without security or fake documents;
 Sanction of loans by the managing director, without the board’s permission, far in excess of his power;
 Investment of Employees Provident Fund money in unlisted companies, violating norms PF norms;
 Illegal transfer of tenancy rights of the bank properties;
 No provision for gratuity and leave fare concessions in the balance sheet in some years, in order to show
cash profits;
 Bogus loans sanctioned against fake documents. These loans were then transferred to nationalised banks
and later classified as non-performing.
Moneylife has written to Bombay Mercantile Coop Bank seeking a response to our queries about the RBI
endorsement. If the bank replies, this article will be updated with details.

Fixed Deposit. Interest payable on NRO accounts is the same as on resident accounts. They vary from bank
to bank as they have been freed from RBI regulation. You can also have a joint account with residents in
India. NRO accounts may be re-designated as resident accounts when the account holder becomes a resident
in India. Disadvantages of NRO:

 Interest earned on balances in NRO Accounts is not exempted from Indian Income tax. Instead income

tax is deducted at source (TDS) i.e. at the time of payment of interest by the bank.
 Balance held in NRO account can neither be repatriated. No remittance in foreign currency is allowed
without prior approval of Reserve Bank as well. So overall, the money stays 'as is' in India.

NRE Accounts NON-RESIDENT (EXTERNAL) ACCOUNTS:

The rates of interest on term deposit kept under NR(E) are generally higher than the rates of interest on NRO
deposits. The following highlights some of the key features of NRE accounts.

 No income Tax.
 No joint account with an Indian residence
 Non-Resident account holders can grant a power of attorney or such other authority to any residents in
India for operating their NR(E) Accounts in India. Such authority is however, restricted to withdrawals
for local payments. The attorney holder cannot repatriate funds held in accounts outside India under any
circumstances or make payment of gifts on behalf of the account holder
 The rates of interest payable on NR(E) accounts are subject to change from time to time as per directions
issued from Reserve Bank of India.

An eligible Non-Resident Indian can open an account with any RBI approved authorized bank.

TIPS

 The NRO account can't be converted into NRE. Also funds can't be transferred from NRO to NRE

account without a special permission from RBI and proof of all existing funds required, which is a

complex procedure than opening a new NRE account.


 The entire credit balance (inclusive of interest earned thereon) can be repatriated outside India at any

time without any reference to Reserve Bank of India.

customers and small to medium-sized businesses.

loans, car loans, house loans, personal loans, and education loans.

They give out these loans from the money deposited by their customers in different types of accounts. They
use the deposits as capital for providing loans. Commercial banks are essential for the economy of a country
because they help in creating capital, credit as well as liquidity in the market. These banks are generally
physically located in cities but these days there are online banks are growing in numbers.

How commercial bank works?

Commercial banks offer basic services of banking to the public including individual customers as well as
small and medium-sized businesses. Money is made by banks by charging for services and fees. The fees
depend on the products given such as overdraft fees, fees for safe deposit boxes, late fees, etc. Various loans
also consist of fees other than interest on loans.

Banks earn money by giving out loans and for that purpose they use funds from customer deposits. They
charge higher interest rates on loans they give out and comparatively less rate of interest on the amount they
get as deposits from their customers. For e.g., a bank may provide a 0.30 per cent rate of interest on savings
account to its customers but charges a 4.8 per cent rate of interest annually for home loans.

Generally, commercial banks are situated in buildings where their customers come for using ATM machines
and other banker window facilities. As internet technology has risen in recent years, most banks allow
customers to do most services online. People can now make money transfers, deposits or make payments for
bills online.

the Bank. They are regulated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and are registered under the States
Cooperative Societies Act.

where they were denied any kind of money withdrawal. This incident of the Punjab and Maharashtra Co-
operative Bank (PMC) has raised questions over the reliability of such financial entities.

Co-operative Banking in India

The Co-operative Banks in India are governed as per the Banking Regulations Act 1949 and Banking Laws
(Co-operative Societies) Act, 1955.

These Banks have been opened with the motto of ‘no-profit-no-loss’ and thus, do not seek for profitable
ventures and customers only. As the name suggests, the main objective of Co-operative Banks is mutual
help.

Given below are a few important features of Co-operative Banking in India:

 They work on the principle of ‘one person, one vote’. Since these banks are owned by the members, a
Board of Directors is chosen democratically and then they are responsible for controlling the
Organisation

 Farmers can avail agricultural loans on minimum interest rates from the Co-operative Banks

 Providing easy and accessible loans and credit benefits in the rural areas with scarce banking facilities.
The annual profit earned is spent on financial reserves and required resources and a part of it is
distributed among the Co-operative members, as per the prescribed limitations.

These institutions play a critical role in last-mile credit delivery and in extending financial services across the length
and breadth of the country through their geographic and demographic outreach.

History of Co-operative Banks

The introduction of Co-operative Banks in India dates back to the early 20th century, which was a time of
distress for the Indian society.

A timeline as to how the co-operative banking emerged in India has been given below:

 The Cooperative Credit Societies Act, 1904, was the first step taken for the co-operative society, which
got accelerated with the introduction of the Cooperative Societies Act of 1912
 In post-independent India, Central Committee for Cooperative Training (1953) was set up by RBI for
establishing co-operative training centres
 To solve the issue of the financial crisis in the rural areas, Rural Credit Survey Committee was set up
1954
 This co-operative movement spread through the banking sector as well and by 1950s, Co-operative
Banks had started extending their reach to the public in both rural and urban areas

The Urban Co-operative bank is a type of co-operative bank. Below is a discussion on what urban co-
operative banks are and also their significance.

Co-operative banks are financial elements laid out on a co-operative premise and having a place with their
individuals. The clients of a co-operatives bank are additionally its proprietors. These banks in India are
separated into two classes – urban banks and rural.

The primary co-operative banks located in urban and semi-urban areas are known as an Urban co-operative
bank or UCB. Until 1996, these banks were simply allowed to loan cash for purposes other than agricultural
purposes. This differentiation is presently not legitimate today. Customarily, these banks were focused on
networks, areas, and work environment gatherings. They fundamentally gave advances to little borrowers
and organizations. Their extent of activities has extended essentially from that point forward.

What is an Urban Co-operative bank?

Urban co-operative banks allude to the primary co-operative banks in semi-urban and urban regions. These
financing bodies are basically for private ventures, enterprises, and finance for home buys and education. To

operate as an Urban co-operative bank, urban Primary credit societies (PCSs) that meet specific criteria can
apply to the RBI for obtaining a banking license.

UCBs are registered and governed by the Banking Regulation Act of 1949 as well as the respective state’s
co-operative societies acts. Hence, UCBs are dependent upon dual regulatory control. The RBI somewhat
directs urban banks. The RBI represents their financial tasks, which lays out capital adequacy, risk
management, and loaning norms.

In case of an emergency, their administration and goals are administered by the Registrar of Co-operative
Societies, who works for either the state or the central government. UCBs with reserves of more than Rs. 50
crore are likewise allowed to work in more than one state, depending upon specific circumstances. In
addition, they have specific privileges and commitments since they are covered by the RBI Act, 1934 (2nd
Schedule) – rights to acquire refinance and credits from the RBI and commitments, for example, keeping up
with cash reserves, submitting returns to the RBI, etc. The Shivalik Mercantile Co-operative Bank Limited is
the first UCB to be conceded ‘in-principle’ authorization by the Reserve Bank of India to change over into a
Small Finance Bank (SFB).

Historical Perspective of UCBs

 The urban co-operative bank movement originated in India in the late nineteenth century. In India, these
societies were established due to the success of the co-operative movement in Germany and Britain.
 The co-operative societies were founded in India on the principles of mutual aid, open membership, and
democratic decision-making.
 In 1889, Anyonya Sahakari Mandali was founded in the princely state of Baroda. It was the first known
mutual aid society in India and was established under the leadership of Vithal Laxman.

 The early stages included the development of urban co-operative credit societies formed based on
community, these community based societies were established to meet the demands of consumption-
oriented credit
 The salary earner’s societies popularized this movement significantly by helping labor and middle class
people
 The co-operative Credit Societies Act, passed in 1904, propelled the movement even more and in
October 1904, in Canjeevaram (now Kanjivaram), the first urban co-operative credit society was
founded
 On January 23, 1906, Vithaldas Thackersey and Lallubhai Samaldas established one of the most
prominent early credit societies- the Bombay Urban Co-operative Credit Society
 In 1912, the Cooperative Credit Societies Act of 1904 was amended to permit the formation of non-
credit societies
 Formed in 1915, the Maclagan Committee was assigned to review the performance of Cooperative
Credit Societies and find and suggest ways to improve their working.

Significance of Urban banks

1. An urban co-operative bank is fundamentally confined to finance specialist co-ops that have been in
operation for over a century. Their specialty is taking care of the lower working class and individuals
with restricted assets, as well as independently employed and small businesses.
2. These banks assume a significant part in activating stores and supporting the little borrower area, which
incorporates limited scope ventures, experts, retailers, etc.
3. These banks are also playing a crucial role in providing assistance to people in rural areas.
4. Over the years, trust has been built in the UCBs. Therefore, these models can be easily replicated.

Conclusion

From the day of its start till today, the primary co-operative bank, Urban Co-Operative bank, has been
developed to a surprising extent. The popularizing movement of UCBs has been accepted across the country
to prepare investment funds from the center and low-pay urban gatherings and to give credit to their
individuals, a considerable lot of whom had a place with the weaker segments.

State Cooperative Banks

State Cooperative Banks are the highest-level cooperative banks in each of the states. They raise funds and
assist in their proper distribution among various sectors.

Individual borrowers receive funds from state cooperative banks via central cooperative
banks and primary credit societies. All-State Apex Cooperative Banks in India have their own national
federation, the National Federation of State Cooperative Banks, which was founded in 1967 in Mumbai.

State Cooperative Bank?

The Maclagan Committee emphasised the importance of establishing these banks, recommending the
establishment of a provincial cooperative bank capable of attracting deposits from the urban classes and
channelling them to the agricultural sector via district central banks.

State cooperative banks are the apex institutions in the state's three-tier cooperative credit structure.
There is a state cooperative bank in every state.

They serve as a conduit through which the Reserve Bank of India lends to cooperatives and thus participates
in rural finance.

They serve as balancing centres for central cooperative banks by making available surplus funds from
some central cooperative banks.

They finance, control, and supervise the central cooperative banks and, through them, the primary credit
societies.

Central cooperative banks are not permitted to borrow or lend among themselves.

Working capital is obtained by state cooperative banks from their own funds, deposits, borrowings, and
other sources.

State cooperative banks are primarily concerned with providing loans and advances to cooperative societies.

State Cooperative Bank – Significance

Each state has a State Cooperative Bank that oversees the progress and performance of cooperative credit
institutions on a state-by-state basis.

It is an apex institution tasked with guiding the cooperative movement under the overall direction of the
State Government.

Their relationships with the Central Cooperative Banks operating at the district level are similar to the
Central Banks' relationships with the Primary Societies.

State cooperative banks make loans and subsidies to Central Cooperative Banks, inspect them, and act as
their banker.

They raise funds from public deposits, share capital, and loans from state governments, the Reserve Bank of
India, the State Bank of India, and other commercial banks.

They alsoassistvarious cooperative organisations in forming alliances, financing the supply and distribution
of essential commodities, and so on.

State Cooperative Bank – Limitations

 There have been instances where few societies have made large advances to primary credit societies and
later on recovery has become a serious problem.
 Overdue have been piling up for a variety of reasons.
 Credit limits for central co-operative banks have not been carefully set.
 The state cooperative banks are also dealing with a number of other issues.
Conclusion

State cooperative banks are primarily concerned with giving loans and advances to cooperative societies.
More than 98% of loans are granted to these societies, with approximately 75% of them being for a short
period of time. The majority of loans are given for agricultural purposes.

Primary Agricultural Credit Societies are the grass root level arms of the short-term co-operative credit
structure. PACS deals directly with the rural (agricultural) borrowers, give those loans and collect
repayments of loans given and also undertake distribution and marketing functions.

They occupy a predominant position in the co-operative credit structure and form its base. It serves as the
final link between the ultimate borrowers on the one hand and the higher financing agencies, namely the
Scheduled Commercial Banks, and the RBI/NABARD on the other hand.

Organisational Structure of PACS

 General Body of PACS: Exercise the control over board as well as management.
 Management Committee: Elected by the general body to perform the work as prescribed by the society’s
rules, acts, and by-laws.
 Chairman, Vice-Chairman, and Secretary: Work for the benefit of the members by performing their roles
and duties as assigned to them.

Office Staff: Responsible for performing day to day work.

India.
 PACS can play a colossal role, in bringing farmer communities closer to credit, inputs, market and value
addition.
 No commercial bank branch can ever come close to providing the kind of services a Primary Agriculture
Credit Society (PACS) can.
 PACS can also play a major role by integrating its warehouse with the physical and financial supply
chain of agro-commodities in the upcoming Garmin Agriculture Markets (GrAMs) or large warehouses
in the private sector.

capacity, efficiency, and effectiveness of these cooperative institutions that will be providing multiple
services to the farmers and rural agricultural communities, apart from credit and financial services.

Advantages of Co-operative Banks

The Co-operative banks have acted as a boon to various sectors of Indian society and also played an
important role in the development of the economy.

Given below are a few advantages of the Co-operative Banks in India:

 These banks have provided aid to the rural population by granting loans and credits with interest rates,
lower in comparison to that asked by local money lenders

 They have their reach at every corner of the country and have managed to maintain a personal rapport
with the customers

 Since the bank is owned and governed by the members themselves, they do not seek huge profits and
believe in mutual help

 The interest rate on deposits is high and on loans is low

 They promote productive borrowing, in order to reduce the risk of loss

 Co-operative Banks have helped the farmers by providing them agricultural credits to buy basic
products like fertilizer, seeds, etc.

Disadvantages of Co-operative Banks

Discussed below are a few disadvantages of the Co-operative Banks in India:

 To lend money, they need investors which are tough to find.

 Over the years, the number of NPAs and overdues have been increasing.

 Since the lack of investors and money, few of them have not been delivering the credits and money to
the rural population.

 Rather than small industrialists, the benefits from Co-operative Banks have been enjoyed by rich.
landowners

 The Co-operative Banks across the country are not equally developed. A few states have more
functioning and beneficial units, while some states have faced loss.

 Political interference has also been observed in these banks.

 With new types of banks opening up, the Co-operative Banks are facing the risk of losing their
customers.

To overcome this loss, the RBI must take up steps regarding audit facilities and implementation of strict
rules must be followed.

Co-operative Banks – Key Points

Given below are a few points of takeaway to understand the Co-operative Banking in India even better.

 Based on the current situation of the Co-operative Banks in India the regulating body, RBI, under the
guidance of former Deputy Governor of RBI, R. Gandhi has decided to merge few co-operative banks
with small financial banks.

 It has also been advised that a special committee must be assigned only to monitor the proper
functioning of these financial entities.

 With PMC Bank coming under the radar of RBI, other co-operative banks need to gain back the
confidence of the common public to invest and borrow from them.

 Strict rules, as followed by other banks, must be implemented in this case as well, to reduce the risk
factor.

The information regarding the Indian Co-operative Banks and their development over the years has been
explained well in detail in this article.

Types of Bank Accounts

Bank accounts serve as the cornerstone of modern financial systems, offering individuals and businesses a
secure and convenient way to manage their money. From saving for the future to conducting everyday
transactions, bank accounts play a crucial role in facilitating economic activities. In this article, we

explore the importance of bank accounts and delve into the different types of accounts available to cater to
diverse financial needs.

Types of Bank Accounts

Banking institutions offer various types of accounts, each designed to fulfil specific financial objectives.
Let’s explore some of the most common types of bank accounts:

1. Savings Account

A Savings Account is one of the most common types of bank accounts, primarily used for saving money.
It offers a safe place to deposit funds while providing easy accessibility. Savings accounts usually earn
interest on the deposited amount, helping account holders grow their savings over time. These accounts
often have no or minimal transactional restrictions, allowing the deposit and withdrawal of funds as
required. However, some banks may require a minimum balance to be maintained to avoid charges.
Savings accounts are suitable for emergency funds, short-term goals, or general-purpose savings.

TOPIC NAME :- AN ANALYTICAL STUDY OF BOMBAY MERCANTILE CO-OPERATIVE BANK LTD.

PAGE NO. 66

2. Current Account

A Current Account, also known as a transactional account, is typically utilized by businesses and
individuals with frequent financial transactions. This type of account allows unlimited transactions,
including deposits, withdrawals, and transfers. Current accounts provide features such as checkbooks,
debit cards, and online banking facilities, enabling easy management of day-to-day financial activities.
Unlike savings accounts, current accounts generally do not earn interest on deposits. They are ideal for
business transactions, paying bills, and facilitating regular monetary exchanges.

3. Recurring Deposit Account

A Recurring Deposit (RD) Account is designed for individuals who want to save a fixed amount regularly
over a specified period. RD accounts allow account holders to deposit a fixed sum of money on a monthly
basis, typically for a predetermined tenure. These accounts often offer attractive interest rates, similar to
fixed deposit accounts. At the end of the tenure, the accumulated amount, along with the interest earned, is
returned to the account holder. RD accounts are useful for individuals who want to cultivate a disciplined
savings habit and earn interest on their regular deposits.

4. Fixed Deposit Account

A Fixed Deposit (FD) Account is a popular investment instrument that allows individuals to deposit a
lump sum amount for a fixed period, known as tenure. FD accounts offer higher interest rates than savings
accounts and provide a guaranteed return on the investment. The interest rate remains fixed for the entire
tenure, ensuring a predictable growth of funds. However, premature withdrawals from FD accounts may
attract penalties or lower interest rates. Fixed Deposit accounts are suitable for individuals with surplus
funds looking for a low-risk investment option.

5. Salary Account
A Salary Account is a type of bank account specifically designed for employees to receive their
salaries. It is offered by banks in collaboration with employers, who deposit the employees’
salaries directly into these accounts. Salary accounts typically come with several benefits, such as
zero or minimum balance requirements, free or discounted services, and access to various banking

facilities. They offer a convenient way for employees to manage their salary funds and conduct
financial transactions. While salary accounts serve as a means to receive salaries, individuals may
convert them into regular savings or current accounts based on their preferences and banking
needs.

6. DEMAT Account
A DEMAT (Dematerialized) Account is specifically meant for electronically holding and trading
securities. This account eliminates the need for physical share certificates by converting them into
electronic records. DEMAT accounts facilitate the easy buying and selling of stocks, mutual funds, bonds,
and other securities in the digital format. These accounts are linked to the individual’s bank account and
provide a seamless integration for transactions related to investments in the stock market.

7. NRI Account
NRI (Non-Residential Indian) Accounts are designed for individuals who reside outside their home
country but wish to maintain financial connections and conduct banking activities in their home country.
NRI accounts can be of various types, such as NRE (Non-Residential External) Account, NRO (Non-
Residential Ordinary) Account, and FCNR (Foreign Currency Non-Resident) Account.

 NRE Accounts:
NRE accounts are denominated in Indian Rupees and allow account holders to maintain and manage their
foreign income in India. Funds in NRE accounts are freely repatriable, meaning they can be transferred
back to the account holder’s foreign country without any restrictions. Interest earned on NRE accounts is
tax-free in India.

 NRO Account:
NRO Accounts are also denominated in India Rupees and are primarily used for managing income earned
in India, such as rent, dividends, or pension. The funds in NRO accounts have limited reparability, subject
to certain conditions. Interest earned on NRO accounts is taxable in India.

 FCNR Account:
FCNR accounts allow NRLs to hold and manage foreign currency in India. These accounts are maintained
in major international currencies such as USD, GBP, EUR, etc. The funds in FCNR accounts are fully
reparable, and the interest earned is tax-free in India.
