INTRODUCTION
ORIGIN OF BANK
Today Bank has become part and parcel of our life. Apart from their traditional
business oriented functions, they have now come out with national responsibilities. Banks
accelerate the economic growth of the country and steer the wheels of the country
towards its goal of self reliance in all fields. It naturally arouses our interest in knowing
more about the origin of bank.
The first banks were probably the religious temples of the ancient world. It was
probably established sometimes during the third millennium BC. Banks probably
predated the invention of money. There are extant records of loans from the 18 th century
BC in Babylon that were made by temple priests or monks to merchants.
Another common-held view is that the word ‘Bank’ might be originated from the
German word ‘Back’ which means a joint stock fund. In due course, it was Italianised
into ‘Banco’, Frenchised into ‘Bank’ and finally Anglicized into ‘Bank’. This view is
most prevalent even today.
DEFINITION OF BANKING
The word bank is derived from the Italian word ‘banca’, Latin word ‘bancus’ and
French word ‘banque’, all meaning a table or bench where business was transactions took
place. In Italy between 1200 and 1600 money changing business was done on benches in
the streets of Florence, Rome, Venice and so on. The German word banck means a joint
stock firm. Modern banks do reflect the character of a joint stock business.
A bank is an institution, which borrows, lends out money and creates credit.
Banks are often described as “factories of credit”, “manufacturers of money” and the
“purveyors of credit”. Normally a bank receives deposits from the public and supplies
credit to manufacturers, businessmen, agriculturists, artisans and other productive agents
in the economy.
The Indian banking system is financially stable and resilient to the shocks that
may arise due to higher non-performing assets (NPAs) and the global economic crisis,
according to a stress test done by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).

HISTORY OF BANKING
Banking developed earlier than coinage of money. Receipts came to be used for
transfers not only to depositors but also to the third parties. In ancient Egypt, banking
started with harvests being stored in the state warehouses. It was also the general method
of payment of debts to other person including tax gatherers, priests and traders. Banking
exists in India from time immemorial. The writings of Manu and Kautilya contained
references to Banking. But modern banking is of recent origin which started in India only
in the dawn of 19th century.
Corporation Bank, being one of the oldest banks in India, is also an organization
board on the tradition of Indian values of services to the community and is regarded as
one of the well- run public sector Banks in the country. Corporation Bank is one of the
leading public sector Banks in India, which is established in the year 1906.The bank was
founded by a group of eminent citizen under the leadership of Late Khan Bahadur Haji
Abdulla Haji Khasim Sahib Bahadur with the motto ‘Sarve Jana Sukino Bhavanthu’,
which means prosperity to all with its strategic business focus, innovative spirit, product
risk management system, infusion of technology, the bank has emerged as a premier
Banking institution in the public sector.
Corporation Bank has brought about a virtual distinction between personnel and
human resource function by introducing 3T framework transactional, transformation
activities and programs.
Money is one of the much talked-about commodities. There are fables and
fantasies connected with money. People will do almost anything for money, as much as
money will do almost anything for people. Money is a circulating, captivating and
motivating puzzle both for the poor and the rich. The universality, uniqueness and utility
of money are such that its possession or dispossession can make people glad or sad, bad
or mad.
Alfred Marshall in his Money, Credit and Commerce (1923), refers to the
activities of private money changers who reduced many a metallic currency more or less
exactly, to a common unit, accepted deposits and gave loans, both for interest.
In India, the first Joint Stock Bank was the bank of Hindustan established in
1770.In 1806; the East India Company established three presidency banks (Calcutta,
Bombay and Madras respectively).Till 1862 they had the right of note issue. In 1881
came the Oudh Commercial Bank as a purely Indian Joint Stock Bank, followed by the
Punjab National Bank in 1894 and people’s Bank of India in 1901. These banks were
amalgamated in 1921 into a single bank called the Imperial Bank of India. It served as a
government’s bank till the arrival of a Central Bank with the name of the Reserve Bank of
India (RBI) in 1935. RBI was nationalized in 1949. It has the monopoly of note issue. It
controls scheduled Banks in India. Banking Acts in India were passed in 1946 and in
1949. The year 1969 was water shed in the banking history of India, 14 major commercial
banks were nationlised on 19th July 1969.On April 15th, 1980, six more commercial banks
in India including Corporation Bank were nationalized. The number of branches of
commercial banks today has crossed 65,450.Since 1980 and particularly with 1991s new
Economic policy under banking sector reforms, government lent force to the argument of
privatization of banks –even foreign banks are increasingly appearing on Indian banking
scene.
A bank generates a profit from the differential between what level of interest it
pays for deposits and other sources of funds, and what level of interest it charges in its
lending activities. This difference is referred to as the spread between the cost of funds
and the loan interest rate. Historically, profitability from lending activities has been cyclic
and dependent on the needs and strengths of loan customers. In recent history, investors
have demanded a more stable revenue stream and banks have therefore placed more
emphasis on transaction fees, primarily loan fees but also including service charges on
array of deposit activities and ancillary services (international banking, foreign exchange,
insurance, investments, wire transfers, etc.).However lending activities still provide the
bulk of a commercial bank’s income.
FUNCTIONS OF BANKER
Borrowing and lending are the two basic functions of a Bank. There are many
other functions which a modern banker performs. All these functions are grouped under
following heads:
1. Raising Funds
2. Lending Money
3. Discounting Bills
4. Agency services
5. Miscellaneous Services
1. Raising Funds
A Banker is a dealer in credit. The lending power of a banker depends largely on
the amounts he can borrow by way of deposits.
Bank deposits are three types: Fixed Deposits, Savings Deposits and Current
Deposits The term Fixed Deposit (also known as Time Deposit in United States) means
deposit repayable after the expiry of a certain period, which originally varies from 3
months to several years. The rate of interest on FD varies with the period for which
money is deposited.
Savings Bank Deposit account is suitable to those who want to deposit their small
savings in a bank, which they need to borrow only occasionally, and not every day or
many times a day. The interest allowed on SB deposits is certainly lower than that
allowed on FD accounts.
them etc. However, all the banks insist that while opening a new account, the first deposit
must be in the form of cash.
2. Lending of Money
The business of lending is usually done in the form of loans and advances,
overdrafts, cash credit and discounting of bills of exchange. It is this function of a
banker’s activities which is the largest contributor to the bank’s profit since interest
earned is the major source of income to any Banker.
3. Discounting of Bills
In this form, Banker advances money. The personal security of the drawer and
acceptor is the only security in case of Clean Bill. If the bill happens to be documentary
one, it is followed either by a railway receipt, bills of lading or a Wharfinger’s Certificate
etc., which means that the security of the drawer and the acceptor is further strengthened
by the goods which means are laying with the railway, shop or wharfinger. This type of
advance is becoming more and more popular.
4. Agency Services
Banker performs the following services as an agent of customer.
a. Collection and payment of Cheques, Bills and promissory Notes
b. Execution of standing orders
c. Collection of Dividend and Interest
d. Purchase and sales of Securities
e. Remittance of funds through Mail Transfers, Telegraphic Transfers and Bank
Drafts.
5. Miscellaneous Services
The miscellaneous services of Banker are as follows.
a. Letter of Credit
The banker issues personal as well as commercial letter of credit. This enables the
customer to make profit by the superior credit of the bank.
b. Foreign Exchange
The commercial community receives facilities for its dealings with foreign
nationals – a fact which is also profitable business for a banker. In assisting foreign trade
by discounting foreign Bills of Exchange, a bank has sometimes to arrange for Transport,
Insurance and Warehousing of goods.
2. Establishment
The Reserve Bank of India was established on April 1, 1935 in accordance with
the provisions of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934. The central Office of the Reserve
Bank has been in Mumbai since inception. The Central Office is where the governor sits
and is where policies are formulated. Through originally privately owned, since
nationalization in 1949; the Reserve Bank is fully owned by the Government of India.
3. Preamble
The preamble of the Reserve Bank of India describes the basic functions of the
Reserve Bank as: To regulate the issue of Bank Notes and keeping of reserve with a view
to securing monetary stability in India and generally to operate the currency and credit
system of the country to its advantage”.

board is appointed by the Government of India in keeping with the Reserve Bank of India
Act.

• Constitution:
Official Directors

The Indian banking Industry can be categorized into two as scheduled and non-
scheduled banks. Scheduled banks constitute of commercial banks and co-operative
banks .There is about 67000 branches of scheduled banks spread across India. During the
first phase of financial reforms, there was a nationalization of 14 major banks in 1969 and
1980 another 6 banks. This crucial step led to a shift from class banking to mass banking.
Since then the growth of the banking industry in India has been a continuous process.
Indusland Bank was the first private bank to be set up in India. IDBI, ING Vyasa
Bank, SBI Commercial and International Bank Ltd, Dhanalakshmi Bank Ltd, Karur
Vysya Bank Ltd, Bank of Rajasthan Ltd etc, are some Private Sector Banks. Banks from
the public sector include Punjab National bank, Vijaya Bank, UCO Bank, Allahabad
Bank, Andhra Bank etc.
ANZ Grind lays Bank, ABN-AMRO Bank, American Express Bank Ltd; Citibank
etc are some foreign banks operating in India.
1. Commercial Banks
Commercial banks have been in existence for many decades. Commercial Banks
mobilize savings in urban areas and make them available to large and small individual
and trading units mainly for working Capital requirements.
After 1969, Commercial Banks are broadly classified into nationalized public
sector banks and private sector banks. The State Bank of India and its associate Banks
along with another 20 banks are the public sector banks. The private sector banks include
a small number of Indian Scheduled banks which have not been nationalized and
branches of foreign banks operating in India commonly known as Foreign Exchange
Banks.
The Regional Rural Banks (RRB) came into existence since the middle of 1970’s
with the specific objective of providing credit and deposit facilities particularly to the
small and marginal farmers, agricultural laborers and artisans and small entrepreneurs.
4. Co-operative Banks
In India, co-operative Banks has assigned an important role in the development of
vital areas such as agriculture, rural and small-scale industry, retail distribution; housing
etc. The co-operative banking sector has been developed in the country to replace the
village money lenders. They also promote savings of the farmers and meet their credit
needs for cultivation. The co-operative banking sectors are not only in rural areas but now
they have spread to urban areas also.
To overcome these drawbacks and also to provide banking facilities for Udupi in
particular and the district in general, a cosmopolitan group of philanthropists led by Haji
Saheb made a bold venture to start this institution.
“The Canara Banking Corporation (Udupi) Ltd.”, as the institution was called
then, started functioning as a ‘Nidhi’ with a humble beginning. The initial capital was
Rs.5, 000/- and at the end of the first day, its resource stood are 38 Rupees – 13 Anna’s
and 2 Pies.
The setting up of the Canara Banking Corporation Ltd. seems to have given a
fillip to co-operative Banking and also to regular banking elsewhere in the district.
Between 1909 and 1917, six co-operative banks came into being and during the decade
immediately after the First World War (1914-18) South Kanara gave birth to as many as
eight banks. It is to the credit of this Bank that despite two world wars, economic
depression and stiff competition, the Bank not only quite survived, but also made
satisfactory progress.
Having been started at Udupi, the Bank first branched out by opening a branch at
Kundapur in 1923. The second branch of the Bank was opened in Mangalore at Car Street
1926. The Bank stepped into Kodagu District in 1934 by opening its seventh branch in
Madikeri.In 1937, the Bank was included in the second schedule of Reserve Bank of
India Act, 1934.In 1939, the Bank’s name changes from “Canara Banking Corporation
(Udupi) Ltd.” To “Canara Banking Corporation Ltd.” The Bank graduated into a
Regional Bank in 1945 when the total number of its branches stood at 28.In the year
1961, it took over ‘Bank of Citizens, Belgaum.’ In the same year, the Bank’s
Administration Office shifted from Udupi to Mangalore.
The second change in the name of the Bank occurred in 1972, from ‘Canara
Banking Corporation Ltd.’ To ‘Corporation Bank Limited.’ The Bank was nationalized in
1980 along with 5 other private sector banks.
After nationalization, the pace of growth of the Bank accelerated and it made all-
round progress. Started as a common man’s bank, it changed with the times to meet the
aspirations of the people but never swerved from its motto- “Sarve Janah Sukhino
Bhavantu” meaning Prosperity for All. It endeavored and succeeded in striking a right
balance between traditional values and innovative approach, personalized service and
professional outlook and commercial considerations and public concern. One of the
unique achievements of the Bank is that it has been paying dividend continuously for the
last 98 years since its inception. Today, with the most modern technology-driven products
and services and nationwide branches & ATMs, Corporation Bank stands tall among the
Public Sector Banks in the country and is hailed as one among the well-managed Public
Sector Banks with excellent track record in all the key parameters of banking. The Bank
has the second largest ATM network in the public sector.

Forms of Advances
Loan schemes
The demand for credit is on two-sides. Firstly, on the demand side of the economy
are the consumers of goods and services who require funds basically for acquiring certain
assets like consumers durables. And secondly, on the supply side, the need for credit
arises from the corporate in the manufacturing, trading and services sectors. These
corporate basically require funds for long-term investment as well as for day-today
operations. Thus, the need for credit arises from the supply side as well as the demand
side of the economy.
Thus, at any point of time, in the credit market, there will always be some players
to extend credit and a few others who will be seeking credit. However, to ensure that the
borrowing and lending take place in the credit market, the lender should meet the needs of
the borrower.
Capital also acts as the cushion to absorb possible losses and entities that deal with
such institutions remain more protected. Such increased levels of confidence will help to
sustain not only the existence of an individual bank, but the entire financial system as
well, which is very vital for proper functioning of the economic system.
The significance of capital varies depending on the level of activity of a bank. The
requirement of capital for a bank depends on its needs for servicing its depositors, for
maintaining net worth requirements, for acquiring assets and establishing branch network
as per statutory requirements etc. Further, the need for capital also arises out of the need
for entering into fund-based activities besides performing the task of servicing its
depositors. In the context of globalization the capital requirements of banks in India and
abroad are guided by certain norms.
2. Borrower’s Constitution
Banking operations survive and thrive on the activity of lending. In the course of
lending operations banks serve varied customers with different legal capacities and
perspectives. They vary from a single individual to a group of individuals and even the
government. The requirements of the borrower will sometimes be typical depending on
the constitution of the borrower’s account.
To open a deposit account and avail a loan facility, the customer is requires to
submit certain documents. The bona fides of the customer will be reflected in these
documents and if the banker is satisfied the business relationship will be commenced.
These documents are vital from the view points of both the banker and customer. The
types of customers who happen to be borrowers could be individuals, partnership firms,
companies, governments, etc. The precautions that a banker takes in opening and running
of the account besides the practices followed in the operations of such account.
3. Documentation
As part of the initial exercise, during the “post-sanction” phase, the bank has to
obtain the details regarding the customer/s so as to bind him/them legally and enforce the
charge. This is possible only if the bank keeps in force the documentation for the loan/s
granted to the customer/s. It is very important for the bank to establish the primary
evidence in all disputes. Without keeping the proper documents in force, banks would not
be in a position to defend their claims against customers in courts of law.
The importance of documentation lies in the fact that with proper documentation
in force, there will not be any problem in enforcing a claim by the bank against the
customer in case of any default in repayment of the loan or in the wake of any other legal
issues.
4. Credit Monitoring
The post-disbursal period is very important for the banker since the health of the
asset is determined during this phase. Banks are required to keep constant watch of the
unit vis-a vis the loan account after sanctioning the loan in order to ensue that the amount
sanctioned to the unit is safe, generates income and does not turn out to be sick. This
process is termed as Credit Monitoring. There are three types of follow-up that constitute
Credit Monitoring. These are: (a) Financial follow-up, (b) Physical follow-up, and (c)
Legal follow-up.
The loan account, by itself, would indicate most explicitly the quality of loan.
Frequent delays and defaults in repayment that may be reflected in the loan account give
the warning signal to the bank. There is a need to identify these signals emanating from a
loan repayments, it could result in defaults thereby leading to a further degeneration in the
quality of the loan and create ‘problem loans’.
1. Safety
Safety first as advocated by tannon should be the guiding principle. A bank lends
what it receives from the public as deposits. The success of the bank depends upon the
confidence of the depositing public. Confidence could be infused in the depositors by
investing the money in safe and sound securities. Safety depends upon (a) the security
offered by the borrower, and (b) the repaying capacity and willingness of the debtor to
repay the loan with interest. So the banker should ensure that the security offered is
adequate and readily realizable and the borrower is a person of integrity, good character
and reputation.
2. Liquidity
Liquidity refers to the ability of an asset to convert into cash without loss within
short time. The liabilities of a bank are repayable on demand or a short notice. To meet
the demand of the depositors in time, the banks should keep its funds in liquid state.
Money locked up in long-term loans such as land, building, plant, machinery etc.cannot
be received back in time and so less liquid. Short-term loans and loans granted against
securities such as goods can be converted into cash easily and so liquid. So a bank should
confine its lending to short-term against marketable securities.
3. Profitability
Like all other commercial institutions banks are run for profit. Even government
owned banks are no exception to this. Banks earn profit to pay interest to depositors,
declare dividend to shareholders, meet establishment charges and other expenses, provide
for reserve and for bad and doubtful debts, depreciation, maintenance and improvements
of property owned by the bank and sufficient resource to meet contingent loss. So profit is
an essential consideration. A banker should employ his funds in such a way that they will
bring him adequate return. The main source of profit comes from the difference between
the interest received on loans and those paid on deposit. Anyway a banker should never
give undue importance to profitability.
4. Security
Customers may offer different kinds of securities, viz., land, building, machinery,
goods and raw material to get advances. The securities of the customers are insurance and
banker can fall back upon them in times of necessity. For the sake of safety he should
ensure that the securities are adequate, marketable and free from encumbrances.
Securities which could be marketed easily, quickly and without loss should be preferred.
In many countries the central Bank gives directions as to the purpose for which
loan may be made. Section 21 of Banking Regulation Act 1949 confers on Reserve Bank
of India the power to control advance by banks.
‘Purpose of the loan’ has assumed a special significance in the present day
concept of banking. Before sanctioning a loan a banker should enquire about the purpose
for which it is needed. A loan granted for productive purpose increases the earning
capacity of the borrower and ensures prompt repayment. Loans for undesirable activities
such as speculation, hoarding etc., should be discouraged. It is equally important to
ensure that the loan is utilized for the purpose for which it is granted.
6. Sources of Repayment
Before financial accommodation, a banker should consider the source from which
repayment is promised. In some instances, debentures which are to be redeemed in few
months’ time or a life policy which is to mature in near future may be offered as security.
Advances against such security give no trouble.
Sometimes customers may apply for loans for additional working capital for their
business and undertaken to repay out of the profits over a period. In such cases the rate at
which the customer can reasonably hope to repay should be ascertained. An examination
of the audited accounts may guide the banker in knowing the repayment capacity of the
customer.
7. Diversification of Risks
The security consciousness of a banker and the integrity of the borrower are not
adequate factors to keep the banker on safe side. What is more important is the
diversification of risk. This means he should not lend a major portion of his loanable
funds to any single borrower or to an industry or to one particular region. An adverse
change in the economy of these may affect the entire business. In such a case repayment
will be highly and the survival of the bank becomes questionable.
Therefore a bank should follow wise policy of ‘do not lay all the eggs in the same
basket’. The bank must advance moderate sums to a large number of customers spread
over a wide area and belonging to different industries.
should made available to the neglected sectors of economic activity and to the under-
privileged sections of the society. To make this a reality, banks have to shed their outlook
of security- consciousness. The traditional belief of security being the measurement of
credit needs is a myth.
A sound lending is one where timely repayment is assured. This largely depends
on the earning power of the business unit and the repaying capacity of the borrower. So
great emphasis is laid on the productivity of the loan. Since the banks have shouldered an
additional responsibility of keeping the tempo of development of the economy they
should consider the productivity of loan as the chief criterion for advancing loans.
Unsecured Advances
Section 5(i) (n) of the Banking Regulation Act defines unsecured loan as
“unsecured loan or advance means a loan or advance not so secured’.
The distinguishing feature of this type of loan, according to the definition is that
no tangible security is offered to the bank.
Confidence in the borrower is the basis of unsecured advances. A banker pins his
faith on the ability and willingness of the borrower. It is a sine qua non of good lending
that the banker should know his customer well and be able to form a judgment about his
2. Capacity
The capacity a borrower refers to his ability to manage the business. Success of
the enterprise depends mainly on the initiative, interest, experience and managerial ability
of the entrepreneur. So capacity is the next consideration in granting clean advances.
Nationalisation of banks has widened the meaning of ‘capacity of the borrower’.
In judging the capacity, greater reliance is made on the economic viability of the project
for which loan is sough. Economic, viability means the capacity to manufacture goods at
the lowest cost and to leave sufficient profit to meet its commitment of loan. It is also
expected that the enterprise should contribute to higher production and serve social
objective. Thus the capacity of a borrower is assessed by his technical competence,
experience in that line of business, operational efficiency of the project, its earning power
and also the productive purpose of the loan.
3. Capital
In addition to the character and capacity of a borrower, a banker looks into
another aspect, i.e., capital. A bank provides mainly the working capital requirement of
the business. A borrower should have sufficient capital to conduct his business and
adequate plant and machinery to carry out normal production.
Secured Advances
Secured advances mean loans made on the security to tangible assets like land,
building, machinery, goods and documents of title to goods. Such loans provide absolute
safety to a banker by creating charge on the assets in favour of him.
Section 5 (i) (n) of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, defines secured advances as
“secured loan or advance means a loan or advance made on the security of assets the
market value of which is not at any time less than the amount of loan or advance”.
2. Collateral Security
The tern collateral security is used in two senses. In a narrow sense it refers to the
securities deposited by the third party to secure advance for the borrower. In a wider
sense it denotes any type of security on which the creditor has a personal right of action
on the debtor in respect of the advance.
FORMS OF ADVANCES
Banks offer different kinds of borrowing facilities to their customers. The credit
facilities may be broadly classified into four types:
1. Loan
2. Cash Credit
3. Overdraft
4. Bills Purchased and Discounted.
1. Loans
Incase of loan, the banker advances a lump sum for a certain period at an agreed
rate of interest. The entire amount is paid on an occasion either in cash or by credit in this
current account which he can draw any time. The interest is charged for the full amount
sanctioned whether he withdraws the money from his account or not. The loan may be
repaid in installments or at the expiry of a certain period. The loan may be made with or
without security. A loan once repaid in full or in part cannot be withdrawn again by the
customer. In case a borrower wants further loan, he has to arrange for a fresh loan.
Loan may be demand loan or a term loan. Demand loan is payable on demand. It
is for a short period and usually granted to meet working capital needs of the borrower.
Term loans may be medium-term or long-term loan. Medium-term loans are granted for a
period ranging from one year to five years for the purchase of vehicles, tractors, tools and
equipments. Long-term loans are granted for capital expenditure such as purchase of land,
construction of factory building, purchase of new machinery and modification of plant.
2. Cash Credit
Cash is an arrangement by which the customer is allowed to borrow money up to
a certain limit. This is a permanent arrangement and the customer need not draw the
sanctioned amount at once, but draw the amount as and when required. He can put back
any surplus amount which he may find with him. Thus cash credit is an active and
running account to which deposits and withdrawals may be affected frequently. Interest is
charged only for the amount withdrawn and not for the whole amount charged. Cash
Credit arrangements are usually made against pledge or hypothecation of goods.
Sometimes, this facility is also provided against personal security.
If the customer does not use the cash credit limit to the full extent, a commitment
charge is made by the bank. This charge is imposed on the unutilized portion of cash
credit only.
Cash credit provides an elastic form of borrowing since the limit fluctuates
according to the needs of the business. Cash credits are the most favorite mode of
borrowing by large commercial and industrial concerns in India.
3. Overdraft
Overdraft is an arrangement between a banker and his customer by which the
latter is allowed to withdraw over and above his credit balance in the current account up
to an agreed limit. This is only a temporary accommodation usually granted against
securities. The borrower is permitted to draw and repay any number of times, provided
the total amount overdrawn does not exceed the agreed limit. The interest is charged only
for the amount drawn and not for the whole amount sanctioned.
A cash credit differs from an overdraft in one respect. A cash credit is used for
long-term by businessmen in doing regular business whereas overdraft is made
occasionally and for short duration.
Temporary Overdraft
Banks, sometimes, grant unsecured overdraft for small amounts to customers
having current account with them. Such customers may be government employees with
fixed income or traders. Temporary overdrafts are permitted only where reliable source of
funds are available to a borrower for repayment.
Banks, sometimes, purchase the bill instead of discounting them. Bill which are
accompanied by documents of title to goods such as bills of lading or railway receipt are
purchased by the bankers. In such cases, the banker grants loan in the form of overdraft or
cash credit against the security of the bills. The term ‘bills purchased’ seems to imply that
the bank becomes the purchaser/owner of such bills. But in almost all cases the bank
holds the bill only as a security for the advance.

RESEARCH DESIGN
Banks deal with the funds of a large number of depositors and banks are requires
to return the money to the depositors with the promised amount of interest. Further, banks
are also required to monitor the loans and also ensure that the loans do not turn bad.
Consequently, they have to follow the principles of credit management to avoid the
danger of failing.
These fundamental principles are like a rudder to a ship, which have been guiding
the function of lending ever since banking has evolved as a profession. The fundamental
principles that are followed by a bank in managing the credit portfolio are safety, security,
liquidity and profitability. These principles have undergone changes with changing times
and developments in the banking industry.
Lending is a crucial activity for a bank as it enables the bank generates income.
But to sustain income generation, prudent decisions need to be taken both prior to and
after sanctioning the credit. These decisions generally relate to the size, security and
repayment of credit to be extended during a financial year, the industries to focus on, the
geographical spread, the type of credit to offer, the type of proposals to finance, the
disbursal mechanism, the collateral value, the method of pricing, the repayment schedule,
the monitoring process, etc. The macro and micro level policies of the lending activity
contribute to the achievement of the bank’s financial objectives. The bank’s management
should thus, ensure that lending decisions fall in line to sub-serve the bank’s overall
objectives of growth and stability. The present study is focusing the Lending and
Recovery Management of Corporation Bank

is the source of strength which facilitates the lending function of the bank. The data
relating to deposits during 2006-2007 to 2011-2012 accept. Presented in below table 5.1
Table 5.1
Deposits over the years (Rs. In cores)
Year Ended Deposits %to Total Growth Rate

2010-20011. The ratio of deposits to advances during 1:0.438. That means out of every 1
rupees deposit 44 paise is lent are given to the customers.
Graphical Representation of Advances
It can be seen from table 5.5 that the priority sector (agriculture and small scale industry
are the part of it) has received a loan to the tune of Rs 39300000 lakh out of total
advances in the year 2006-2007 which constitute 74.11% to total advances in that
year.The share of priority sector to total advances in 2007-2008 is 75.45%, in 2008-2009
it is 77.39%, in 2009-2010 77.49%, in 2010-2011 57.38% and 2011-12 it is 68.84%. Thus

Table 5.6 shows that the amount recovered is increasing from year to year in first three
years but reduced in 2011-2012.
7.MANAGEMENT OF NPA
The assest which is not performing it is called NPA’s. NPA’s are inavaitable burden of
the bankers.Table 5.7 shows the NPA leval of the bank over the year.
Table 5.7
NPA Level
Year Ended Amount %
2006-2007 6334000 -
2007-2008 6836000 107.93%
2008-2009 5302000 77.56%
2009-2010 4213000 79.46%
2010-2011 4500000 106.81%
2011-2012 10100000 224.44%
Table 5.7 reveals that the NPA level is witnessing a fluctuating variance over the years.
To be specific compare to the year 2006-2007 the level of NPA has increased in 2007-
2008 and decreased in 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 again increased in 2010-2011 and in
2011-2012 witnessed a sharp increase in NPA level of the bank. Some of the reasons
identified this increase is:
1. Crop failure
2. Reduction in the price of arcanut which is the major economic crop of the sagar taluk.
3. The frequent loan waiver policies of the government is causing for poor recovery. The
loan waiver on the one hand affected the recovery position and negatively influencing
the repayment. Now formers are of the opinion that those who differed the payment are
the intelligence and who has paid promptly is not intelligence.
