1.1 Background of the study
The study reports are done for various purposes that help ascertaining the facts through
proper scrutiny; therefore such study reports occupy importance of its own. In this study attempts
have been made to scrutinise the organisation development covering 5 fiscal years by using
various generally accepted and acknowledged statistical tools. Organisation development is one of
the main aspects for its existence. This study on such aspect therefore will play a significant role to
get through Knowledge.
Generally once a loan application received by the bank, entered into loan application
received by the bank, entered into loan application register than bank undertake a pre-loan ,
considering and enquiries of the pre-loan visit, loan visit, loan inspection . The appraisal report is
prepared by the concerned official and also discuss in the "Loan Committee” meeting headed by
the bank manager. Then the committee makes decision whether to approve or disapprove the loan
and what would be the terms and conditions for the disbursement of loan in the case of approval.
In the dictionary the term "bank" has been defined as “A place where money or other
valuable material is deposited until required or an institution for the keeping landing exchanging
etc of Money.”
Bank is a business establishment that safe-guards Peoples Money and uses it to make loan
and investment. Banks promote the wider range of sale of goods and services. Money is safer at
bank than in home. A current account (Cheque account) with a bank provides an easy way to pay
bills. Bank also provide large amount of joints loans, with other banks for projects all over the
world. As a result, banks can safely loan or invest a large percentage of the funds deposited with
them.
Chamber's Twentieth Century Dictionary defines a bank as on, “institution for keeping,
lending, exchanging etc of the money." According to Couther, "the banker’s business it to take the
debts of other people to offer his own in exchange and thereby create Money." According to
Kent," A bank is on organisation whose principal operations are concerned with the general
public for the purpose of advancing to other for expenditure."
Therefore, a bank is an institution which accepts deposits from the public and in turn
advances loans by creating credit. Therefore, it should be differentiate from other financial
institutions as they cannot create credit though they accept deposits.
Therefore, summarising the above, banks are those financial institution that offer the
widest range of financial services.
1.1 Objectives of the study

Each & every task has its own objectives. Therefore, the following are the main objectives
for this study.

1. To analyse loan disbursement trend in the bank.

2. To isolate the problems arising in loan disbursement trend & interpret them.
3. To find out accurate loan disbursement volume
4. To provide pragmatic suggestions regarding disbursement of the bank

1.7 Significance of the study

The study of LD has great significance. Loan plays a vital role in the development of the economic
condition of nation & bank may also stand its reputation in competitive market by providing loan to good
customers. Loan helps to various sectors for using new modern techniques to increment the productivity & quality
of various sectors. For e.g. loan dispersing to farmer, industrialist & other needed person who is directly engaged
in productive sector. So, ineffective loan back them to produce qualitative goods other products in low cost.
Therefore the banks operational activities consists of business loan, industrial loan, consortium finance & social
loan etc. Besides it has to be invested in deprived sector as an integral part of the total loan disbursement. So,
study of loan disbursement has made me aware of things of great interest

1.6. Limitation of the study

Every task has its own limitation. Beyond limitations or excess it won't be suitable,
convenient or efficient. Limitation means not excess than required. If the study of any subject
matter exceeds then its motive or the facts create improper scrutiny. Study of specific subject
matter for scrutiny of both the positive & negative aspects without extending it should be done. I
