This project report entitled the credit facilities in THE B.E.S.T EMPLOYEES

CO-OPERATIVE CREDIT SOCIETY LTD. This has been brought out to know how

this society functions and the credit facilities provided by the society. This project is

also prepared to know the performance of the society.In the beginning of human

existence, needs were simple and every individual produced all that was necessary to

sustain life, he provided his own food of animal flesh and vegetable; prepared his own

clothing and found his own shelter.

After this state, barter system came into existence. Barter system means tradewith exchange of goods, with the absence of money. At this stage the concept of

dependency emerged in the routine life of the human beings. And their dependenc y

demanded co -operation that is how co - operation was born.

In course of time, people settled down in different occupations, and with

specialization, exchange of goods became wider. And the money was introduced in

trading, which was widely accepted for payment. As money started getting importance.

Co -operation was going hand in hand with it.

So, co-operation is an important thing, which plays an important role in all for

goods and services and in settlement of debts. Money is given and received without

reference to the standing of the person who offers it in payment.

According to D.H. Robertson Money is any thing which is widely accepted in

payment for goods or in discharge of other kinds of business obligations. This is the

way that money got exten ds into the co- operation.

DEFINITION OF BANKING

10/72

In general terms, Thebusiness activity of accepting and safeguarding money

owned by other individuals and entities, and then lending out this money in order to

earn aprofit

So we can say that Banking is a company, which transacts the business of

banking. The Banking Regulations Acts defines the business as banking by stating the

essential function of a banker.

The term banking is defined as Accepting for the purpose of leading or

investment, deposits of money from the public, repayable on demand or otherwise and

withdrawal by cheque, draft, order or otherwise.

Concept of co-operation

Meaning:

Co-operation means working together to accomplish the common

goal through cooperative principles.

Co-operation is much older than the mankind. Formation of social groups in

outcome of reflective co -operation, while the life of the ants, bees, wincer, etc,

provides the best examples of initiative co -operation, Right from the hunting age upto

the present ager the progress and development of human being in all spheres, social,

economics, religions and political is marked by a sense of thinking working together. In

india throughout the ages of people and the communities worked together on an

informal co-operate basis with regard to their religions, social, economic and cultural

life.

The word Co-operation is derived from the latin word Co - operari mean to

to work. In other words co-operation means to work together to achieve common

purpose. Co -operation promoter voluntarily association of individual having common

needs to combine towa rds the achievements of common economic needs. If is

recognized as a sector of business enterprise quite distinct from public sector or

private sector.

Definition of co-operation

Co-operation has been defined by different authorities in different

ways. Some definitions are as follows\

According to C.R. Fay: From socio-economic point of view describes Co-operation is an

association for the purpose of joint trading, organizing, among the weak and conducts

always in an unselfish spirit, on such term that all who are prepared to assume the

duties of members proposition to the degree in which they make use of their association

.

B. According to Mr. Talmaki, he defined it as An association of the weak, who gather

together for common economic need and try to, if themselves and others out of

weakness into strength through business organization conducted for the common

benefit of all who join it.

C. According to professor Lambert observes. Co-operation as an enterprise formed

directed an association of uses, applying within itself the rules of democracy and

directly intended to serve both its own members and community as whole?

12

Co-operative organization:

Meanings:

A co-operative organization [also referred to as a co -op] is a form of business

ownership that consists of a group of people who have j oined together to perform a

business function more efficiently than each individual could do alone. The purpose of

a co -operative organization is not to make a profit for itself. But to improve each

members situation.

However, members of certain types of co-operative organization do make a

profit by selling their product and / or service to customers who are not co-operative

organization members.

The internal labour organization definer a co -operative as an association of

persons, usually of limited, means, who have voluntarily joined together to achieve a

common economic and together the formation of a democratically controlled business

co -operative society is an enterprises formed and directed by an association of users,

13

applying within itself the sales of democracy and directly intended to serve both its own

members and the community as whole?

CO-OPERATIVE MOVEMENT IN INDIA:

The co-operatives are the preferred instruments of socio -economic

development. Their contribution to the national economy of the country is very

significant. In the wake of declining role of public sector and various limitations of

private sectors, relevance of co -operatives is achieving greater heights. In the emerging

environment of capitalistic form of society for their socio -economic development.

Government is also committee to provide policy support for the development of co -

operative sector in the country.

It is an acknowledging fact that the idea of co-operation was popularized in this

country through the state initiative and direction. Mr. Nicholson who was deputed to his

report provided the basis for the government to stall the co-operative movement at the

turn of the cultivations from the crushing burden of indebtedness and to faster thrift

among the masses.

Initially, the government include local will do and highly respected people to

organize co-operatives in their area. The honorary organizers who received support

from local officers. The co -operative societys acts were passed in 1904 and 1912, to

provide the necessary, legislative from the functioning of co-operative instructions. The

14


15/72

co -operative departments were setup to regulate the working of societies through the

expected to be a government office different from the rest, the friend, philosophers and

guide to the movements

Gradually, the movement started diversifying its activities and vertically

integrated structure come in the field of co -operative banking, marketing, small scale

industries, consumer activities etc.

In 1919 co-operative was removed from the central list and made a provincial

(State) subject under the federal constitution. Vigorous efforts were made by the govt.

during the great depression period of the thirties to save the movement. During the IInd

world war, also the Indian co - operative movement experienced URS and down till

independence. The co-operative in india has recorded by the tardy growth, inspite of the

morale and material support provided by the government.

According to co-operative commutes, this was due to the ..faire polias.

Persuade by the government. Thus, tile down of independence the Indian co-operative

movement had come to be described has not a movement but only a government policy,

observed that Indian cultivator were provided by many lenders, thus tow above

mentioned report is called upon the state to initiate move vigorous & propose full

measurer to revitalize the entire movement. Almost by the sam e time, national

economic plan (IInd 5 years plan) was launched, in which, the recommendations of this

committee were fully incorporated.

The policy adopted immediately therefore, did not encourage a radial re-

organization of the structure but aimed at creating new condition in which co-operatives

could function more effectively for the benefits of the weak and meet the opposition of

15


16/72

the listed interests. According the state become a major posture in the share capital of

co-operatives at all needs is credit processing, marketing, consumers activities etc the

government has provided aid and assistance to the co -operative societies in india in the

following manner.

1. States partnership in the share capital of co -operative societies.

2. Loan to societies

3. Subsides and grants

4. Guarantees

5. Contribution to risk fund

6. Tax concessions

7. Legal concessions and sanctions

8. Training and education

9. Help to reserve bank and other banking organization.

10. Supply of government officer on deputation.

In addition to this, researcher and surveys are conducted for the benefits of co-

operative and plans and programs are formulated for the state. Co-operative department.

During all these years of co-operative development a paternalistic attitude has

been adopted by the state, towards the co -operative it threatens to become more

pronounced, mostly under pressure of need of governments sponsorship for

expeditions development and for removal of poverty and backwardness the constitution

of india has provided guidance for the state in such away that it can take a positive

attitude for the development of co -operative sector

16


17/72

Feature of co-operative organization:

Following are the features of co-operative organization.

1) Voluntary Association: A co-operative society is a voluntary of persons not of capital.

Any of person irrespective of sex, creed, caste, etc can join the society of his wish and

he can leave it at any time after giving the notice to society. While leaving he has to

withdraw his amount and he it not suppose to transfer the amount on other persons.

2) Source of finance: The capital of co -operative society is raised from the members by

way of share capital since co -operatives are organized by relatively weaker section of

society, the share capital is limited.

3) Control and Management: Democ racy is the Keynote of the management of the co

-operative society since most of these societies operates on a local scale, the meetings of

the member are generally well attended. Al time of meetings the members select the

managing committee and lay down the policy which it must follow to promote their

common interest, each member, what ever be his state in society, has one vote and

hence an equal rights to participate in the management of society. Members cannot vote

by proxy. Beside the organization the organization and control of a co-operative society

may be carried on by 2 member working in different capacity and outsiders may be

employed only when the society grows too large.

4) Service motive: A co-operative society is organized primarily with the object of

rendering maximum service to its members in certain field. It doesnt aim at the cost of

17


18/72

its members for it is formed basically for providing certain essential facilities to

members.

This doesnot mean that a co -operative society will have work for profit. It is quite

usual for society to earn profit by extending their service to max-members.

5) Disposal of surplus: It is usual for commercial concern to distribute profits among the

owners in the ratio of their capital distribution or in agreed ratio. A co-operative society

differs from trading co. in this respect. Under the co -operative form of ownership and

organization, surplus arising of a year working is given to the members not directly or

divided on share held by each of them. But in the form of a bonus which need not be

proportionate to their respective capital contribution.

6) Fixed return on capitals: The fixed or limited return on capital subscribed to the

society must be paid out of the surplus to the members. Making payment of fixed

interest or paid up capital definitely a first charge on the trading surplus, of all those

who joined the society a solid reason for leaving their savings in deposits with it.

7) State control and co-operative status: Although voluntary in their basic character the

co -operative society are subject to considerable state control and supervision. In india

the co -operative society act as the case may.

TYPES OF CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETIES.

Co-operatives may be formed basically in any work of life. Some of them concern

themselves with the moral and social uplift of a decreased or weak section of the

society. White quite many of them combine some business activities with service to

their memb ers. Since business are being consider here as a force of business

organization only there societies which are concern with business purpose need on

introduction here the principal types of co -operatives are as enumerated below;

1) CONSUMERS CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY

2) PRODUCERS CO- OPERATIVE SOCIETY.

requirements of goods at cheaper prices. For this purpose, consumers co-operative

stores are recognized by such societies these societies make their purchase in balk form

whol esales at wholesale rates and sell the goods to member at market price. The

difference is presented by the surplus which is distributed among the purchasing

members in the form of .on purchases. This is the oldest form of co-operative

organization.

19


20/72

2 . PRODUCERS CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY;

It is also called as industrial co-operatives societies are voluntary association of

small producers formed with the object of eliminating the capitalist form the

system of industrial production. Some timers consumers societies may join

hands with the association or producers. In such a case the firm co-operative

societies is used for societies of this type. These societies produce goods for

meeting the requirements of the consumers, sometimes thus production may

be disposed of to outsiders at a profit being, distributed among the producers after

marketing agreed percentage for welfare and general purpose.

3. MARKETING CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY;

The marketing co-operative society or the co-operative sales societies are voluntary

association of independent producers organized for the purpose of arranging for the sale

of their output. As the central sale agency for a member of producers a marketing co

-operative quite after performs such important function of marketing as, processing and

grading of the produce delivered by the individual producers. According to their

contribution to the pool. Societies of these kinds are particularly useful for agriculture,

small producers and artesians.

4. HOUSING CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY:

Housing co-operatives are the association of persons who are interested either in

recurring dealership of a hours or obtaining accommodation at fair and reasonable rent

B. NON AGRICULTURE CREDIT SOCIETY: These societies are meant to

provide bank accommodation to the members and may be formed by a small

artisans in towns and try office clerks mill workers etc in cities.

Brief History of Urban Cooperative Banks in India

The term Urban Co-operative Banks (UCBs), though not formally defined, refers to

primary cooperative banks located in urban and semi-urban areas. These banks, till

1996, were allowed to lend money only for non-agricultural purposes. This distinction

does not hold today. These banks were traditionally centred around communities,

localities work place groups. They essentially lent to small borrowers and businesses.

Today, their scope of operations has widened considerably.

The origins of the urban cooperative banking movement in India can be traced to the

close of nineteenth century when, inspired by the success of the experiments related to

the cooperative movement in Britain and the cooperative credit movement in

Germany such societies were set up in India. Cooperative societies are based on the

principles of cooperation, - mutual help, democratic decision making and open

membership. Cooperatives represented a new and alternative approach to organisaton

as against proprietary firms, partnership firms and joint stock companies which

represent the dominant form of commercial organisation.

The Beginnings

The first known mutual aid society in India was probably the Anyonya Sahakari

Mandali organised in the erstwhile princely State of Baroda in 1889 under the

guidance of Vithal Laxman also known as Bhausaheb Kavthekar. Urban co-operative

credit societies, in their formative phase came to be organised on a community basis

to meet the consumption oriented credit needs of their members. Salary earners

societies inculcating habits of thrift and self help played a significant role in

popularising the movement, especially amongst the middle class as well as organized

labour. From its origins then to today, the thrust of UCBs, historically, has been to

22


23/72

mobilise savings from the middle and low income urban groups and purvey credit to

their members - many of which belonged to weaker sections.

The enactment of Cooperative Credit Societies Act, 1904, however, gave the real

impetus to the movement. The first urban cooperative credit society was registered in

Canjeevaram (Kanjivaram) in the erstwhile Madras province in October, 1904.

Amongst the prominent credit societies were the Pioneer Urban in Bombay

(November 11, 1905), the No.1 Military Accounts Mutual Help Co-operative Credit

Society in Poona (January 9, 1906). Cosmos in Poona (January 18, 1906), Gokak

Urban (February 15, 1906) and Belgaum Pioneer (February 23, 1906) in the Belgaum

district, the Kanakavli-Math Co-operative Credit Society and the Varavade Weavers

Urban Credit Society (March 13, 1906) in the South Ratnagiri (now Sindhudurg)

district. The most prominent amongst the early credit societies was the Bombay

Urban Co-operative Credit Society, sponsored by Vithaldas Thackersey and Lallubhai

Samaldas established on January 23, 1906..

The Cooperative Credit Societies Act, 1904 was amended in 1912, with a view to

broad basing it to enable organisation of non-credit societies. The Maclagan

Committee of 1915 was appointed to review their performance and suggest measures

for strengthening them. The committee observed that such institutions were eminently

suited to cater to the needs of the lower and middle income strata of society and

would inculcate the principles of banking amongst the middle classes. The committee

also felt that the urban cooperative credit movement was more viable than agricultural

credit societies. The recommendations of the Committee went a long way in

establishing the urban cooperative credit movement in its own right.

23


24/72

In the present day context, it is of interest to recall that during the banking crisis of

1913-14, when no fewer than 57 joint stock banks collapsed, there was a there was a

flight of deposits from joint stock banks to cooperative urban banks. Maclagan

Committee chronicled this event thus:

As a matter of fact, the crisis had a contrary effect, and in most provinces, there was

a movement to withdraw deposits from non-cooperatives and place them in

cooperative institutions, the distinction between two classes of security being well

appreciated and a preference being given to the latter owing partly to the local

character and publicity of cooperative institutions but mainly, we think, to the

connection of Government with Cooperative movement.

Under State Purview

The constitutional reforms which led to the passing of the Government of India Act in

1919 transferred the subject of Cooperation from Government of India to the

Provincial Governments. The Government of Bombay passed the first State

Cooperative Societies Act in 1925 which not only gave the movement its size and

shape but was a pace setter of cooperative activities and stressed the basic concept of

thrift, self help and mutual aid. Other States followed. This marked the beginning of

the second phase in the history of Cooperative Credit Institutions.

There was the general realization that urban banks have an important role to play in

economic construction. This was asserted by a host of committees. The Indian Central

Banking Enquiry Committee (1931) felt that urban banks have a duty to help the

small business and middle class people. The Mehta-Bhansali Committee (1939),

recommended that those societies which had fulfilled the criteria of banking should be

allowed to work as banks and recommended an Association for these banks. The Co-

24


25/72

operative Planning Committee (1946) went on record to say that urban banks have

been the best agencies for small people in whom Joint stock banks are not generally

interested. The Rural Banking Enquiry Committee (1950), impressed by the low cost

of establishment and operations recommended the establishment of such banks even

in places smaller than taluka towns.

The first study of Urban Co-operative Banks was taken up by RBI in the year 1958-

59. The Report published in 1961 acknowledged the widespread and financially sound

framework of urban co-operative banks; emphasized the need to establish primary

urban cooperative banks in new centers and suggested that State Governments lend

active support to their development. In 1963, Varde Committee recommended that

such banks should be organised at all Urban Centres with a population of 1 lakh or

more and not by any single community or caste. The committee introduced the

concept of minimum capital requirement and the criteria of population for defining

the urban centre where UCBs were incorporated.

Duality of Control

However, concerns regarding the professionalism of urban cooperative banks gave

rise to the view that they should be better regulated. Large cooperative banks with

paid-up share capital and reserves of Rs.1 lakh were brought under the perview of the

Banking Regulation Act 1949 with effect from 1st March, 1966 and within the ambit

of the Reserve Banks supervision. This marked the beginning of an era of duality of

control over these banks. Banking related functions (viz. licensing, area of operations,

interest rates etc.) were to be governed by RBI and registration, management, audit

and liquidation, etc. governed by State Governments as per the provisions of

25


26/72

respective State Acts. In 1968, UCBS were extended the benefits of Deposit

Insurance.

Towards the late 1960s there was much debate regarding the promotion of the small

scale industries. UCBs came to be seen as important players in this context. The

Working Group on Industrial Financing through Co-operative Banks, (1968 known as

Damry Group) attempted to broaden the scope of activities of urban co-operative

banks by recommending that these banks should finance the small and cottage

industries. This was reiterated by the Banking Commisssion (1969).

The Madhavdas Committee (1979) evaluated the role played by urban co-operative

banks in greater details and drew a roadmap for their future role recommending

support from RBI and Government in the establishment of such banks in backward

areas and prescribing viability standards.

The Hate Working Group (1981) desired better utilisation of banks' surplus funds and

that the percentage of the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) & the Statutory Liquidity Ratio

(SLR) of these banks should be brought at par with commercial banks, in a phased

manner. While the Marathe Committee (1992) redefined the viability norms and

ushered in the era of liberalization, the Madhava Rao Committee (1999) focused on

consolidation, control of sickness, better professional standards in urban co-operative

banks and sought to align the urban banking movement with commercial banks.

A feature of the urban banking movement has been its heterogeneous character and its

uneven geographical spread with most banks concentrated in the states of Gujarat,

Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu. While most banks are unit banks without

any branch network, some of the large banks have established their presence in many

26


27/72

states when at their behest multi-state banking was allowed in 1985. Some of these

banks are also Authorised Dealers in Foreign Exchange

Recent Developments

Over the years, primary (urban) cooperative banks have registered a significant

growth in number, size and volume of business handled. As on 31st March, 2003

there were 2,104 UCBs of which 56 were scheduled banks. About 79 percent of these

are located in five states, - Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Maharashtra and

Tamil Nadu. Recently the problems faced by a few large UCBs have highlighted

some of the difficulties these banks face and policy endeavours are geared to

consolidating and strengthening this sector and improving governance.

ORGANISATION AND WORKING OF CREDIT CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY

The primary co-operative credit society is supposed to be an Association of

borrowers and non-borrowers who, residing in a locality know each other and take

interest in one another. Membership of the society is opened to any person in the

locality provided his membership is approved by the fellow members. While admitting

a new persons his character (regardless or caste and creed) is taken into account this is

supposed to faster the spirit of co-operation and mutual help among members. A group

27


28/72

of people comes together and forms the credit society where every persons knows a

practically every other person of locality, the idea behind this is to facilities granting of

loan to really needy person and effective specification of the use of loan given.

. This is because it is on the foundation of basic unite established at the group

level that the entire foundation of co- operative credit structure is erected and because,

It is the primary co-operative credit structure is erected which comes in direct contact

with the members giving them loan and collecting repayment of loans from them.

In case of primary credit co-operative society members contribute to share

capital, each members is required to purchase a minimum number of shares. It is also

laid down that no member would hold share beyond a maximum nor of shares pres

gribed & each member has only one vote for the purchase of electing official to various

post in society, irrespective number of shares the member holds. Thus is meant to

ensure democratic management. And control of primary society. These shares are also

exempted from attached by court of any dues in civil suit or in insolvency proceedings

the liability of members is unlimited.

As regards, administrated of primary co-operative credit societies, there is general

body consisting of members of society. General body elects annually the president or

chairman, secretary and other members of management who all work in honorary

capacity. Generally the accountant is a paid employee of the society.

Advantages of Co-operative Society

A Co-operative form of business organisation has the following advantages:

i. Easy Formation: Formation of a co-operative society is very easy compared to a

28


29/72

joint stock company. Any ten adults can voluntarily form an association and get it

registered with the Registrar of Co-operative Societies.

ii. Open Membership: Persons having common interest can form a co-operative

society.

Any competent person can become a member at any time he/she likes and can

leave the society at will.

iii. Democratic Control: A co-operative society is controlled in a democratic

manner.

The members cast their vote to elect their representatives to form a committee that

looks after the day-to-day administration. This committee is accountable to all the

members of the society.

iv. Limited Liability: The liability of members of a co-operative society is limited to

the

extent of capital contributed by them. Unlike sole proprietors and partners the

personal

properties of members of the co-operative societies are free from any kind of

risk because of business liabilities.

v. Elimination of Middlemens Profit: Through co-operatives the members or

consumers

control their own supplies and thus, middlemens profit is eliminated.

vi. State Assistance: Both Central and State governments provide all kinds of help to

the societies. Such help may be provided in the form of capital contribution, loans at

low rates of interest, exemption in tax, subsidies in repayment of loans, etc.

vii. Stable Life: A co-operative society has a fairly stable life and it continues to exist

for

29


30/72

a long period of time. Its existence is not affected by the death, insolvency, lunacy or

resignation of any of its members.

.

Limitations of Cooperative Society

Besides the above advantages, the co-operative form of business organisation also

suffer from various limitations. Let us learn these limitations.

Co-operative Society

99

i. Limited Capital: The amount of capital that a cooperative society can raise from its

member is very limited because the membership is generally confined to a particular

section of the society. Again due to low rate of return the members do not invest

more capital. Governments assistance is often inadequate for most of the co-

operative

societies.

ii. Problems in Management: Generally it is seen that co-operative societies do not

function efficiently due to lack of managerial talent. The members or their elected

representatives are not experienced enough to manage the society. Again, because of

limited capital they are not able to get the benefits of professional management.

iii. Lack of Motivation: Every co-operative society is formed to render service to its

members rather than to earn profit. This does not provide enough motivation to the

members to put in their best effort and manage the society efficiently.

iv. Lack of Co-operation: The co-operative societies are formed with the idea of

mutual

co-operation. But it is often seen that there is a lot of friction between the members

because of personality differences, ego clash, etc. The selfish attitude of members

30


31/72

may sometimes bring an end to the society.

v. Dependence on Government: The inadequacy of capital and various other

limitations

make cooperative societies dependant on the government for support and patronage

in terms of grants, loans subsidies, etc. Due to this, the government sometimes

directly interferes in the management of the society and also audit their annual

accounts.

COMPARATIVE STUDY.

COMPANY NAME : SEIMENS EMPLOYEES CO OPERATIVE CREDIT

SOCIETY LTD

PROFILE : The Siemens Employees Co-operative Credit Society Limited was

formed in 1961 registered no.29753 of 1961. On 29th July, 1961 the Credit Society

was registered under the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act.

SOCIETYS INTENTION;

The Siemens Employees Co-operative Credit Society Limited was formed in 1961 at

the behest of the unions and willing support from the company management with the

main purpose of establishing a financial trust that will cater to two financial

requirements of employees : to save money and to loan money in case of emergency.

62


63/72

In those days of closed economy, it was difficult for individuals, especially staff and

workers to get quick and easy loans.

On 29th July, 1961 the Credit Society was registered under the Maharashtra Co-

operative Societies Act and any employee could become a shareholder by paying

Rs.10/- a share. Needless to say, there was overwhelming support and participation

from employees.

The Society is administered in line with the guidelines of the Maharashtra Co-

operative Societies Act. Members of the Society elect the Managing Board,

comprising of a President, Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Secretary and treasurer. As per

bye-laws of credit society, the Siemens Management nominates a Senior Manager of

the company, who is also a member of the Society as the President of the Board.

As Siemens grew, membership of the Society kept pace and spread to Kalwa, Nashik

and Aurangabad. Practically every Siemens office and union in Maharashtra was

affiliated to the credit society. Membership of the Society at one time was 5,500 and

3,010 today largely due to the voluntary seperation of numerous employees in the past

few years.

Credit Society has computerised its functions largely due to the support from Siemens

Ltd. & SISL managements.
