Mr. P.N. Warde, the first Secretary and Mr. Shivram Gopal Rajadhyaksha, the first
Treasurer. These were people with deep and abiding ideals, faith, vision, optimism
and entrepreneurial skills. These dedicated men in charge of the Society had a
commendable sense of service and duty imbibed in them. Even today, their
honorable founders inspire a sense of awe and respect in the Bank and amongst
the shareholders.
The Bank has the unique distinction of being a witness to history. The Bank,
which was originally founded in 1918, i.e. close on the heels of the Russian
Revolution, also witnessed as a Society and as Bank - the First World War, the
Second World War, India's freedom Movement and the glorious chapter of postindependence India. During this cataclysmic cavalcade of history, the Bank as a
financial institution and its members could not of course remain unaffected by the
economic consequences of the major events. The two wars in particular brought in
their wake, paucities of all kinds and realities and stand by its members in distress
as a solid bulwark of strength. The Founder Members and the later-day
managements of the Bank continued to demonstrate their unwavering faith in the
destiny of the common man and the co-operative movement and they encouraged
the shareholders to save despite all odds.
Thanks to these sustained and assiduous efforts over 25 years after its inception,
the Bank had gained a strong foundation in terms of its membership, resources,
assets and profits. By 1942, the Bank was fulfilling all the banking needs of its
customers.
A.G.I.M.S. Sangli

During the late fifties, the Bank grew from strength to strength. The Bank had
established five branches within the city of Mumbai and one each at Pune and
Belgaum. In its 50th year, the Bank chose a bee motif to symbolize the Bank's
emblem - a fitting and appropriate characteristic of a Bank that believed in hard
work, a search for all that is good, a team spirit to achieve its objectives and
selfless service to its members and customers. The Bank had grown in stature,
progressed in its social and economic objectives and produced an image of what
an ideal bank should be. Resultantly, in the year 1977-78, the Bank's gross income
crossed the Rs.3.00 crore marks for the first time.
In 1988, the Bank was conferred with "Scheduled" status by Reserve Bank of
India. The Bank is the first co-operative bank to provide Merchant Banking
services. The Bank got a permanent license to deal in foreign exchange in 1978.
Presently the Bank is having correspondent relationship in 45 countries covering
9 currencies with over 125 banks. In 1992, the Bank completed 75 years.
Platinum Jubilee Celebrations were inaugurated on 14th September, 1992 and the
Bank also crossed the business level of Rs. 700 Crores.
The beginning of the 21st century has been a giant leap forward for the Bank. The
Bank chose a path of organic/inorganic growth and our pace of growth
accelerated .The Bank's total business which was around Rs.4000 Crore in 2000
almost tripled to Rs.15295 Crore in 2007.
In the year 2008, the Bank launched a Branding Initiative. The purpose of such an
exercise was to reconfirm the thrust of the Bank on its core values, which can be
summed up as a "Sense of Belonging". The name of the Bank should always
inspire a Sense of Belonging in all its stakeholders and the Bank continues to
fulfill the changing needs and expectations of the customer with unflinching gusto
and aplomb.

THEORETICAL BACKGROUND:
What is a Bank?
A Bank is a financial organization which accepts deposits that can be withdrawn
ondemand and also lends money to individuals and business houses that need it.
Structure of banking sector in India

A) Retail Banking:
Retail banking is the most visible face of banking for the general public. These
services are typically offered at the physical brick-and-mortar branches and at the
ubiquitous ATMs. The delivery channel for retail banking is now no longer restricted
to branches and ATMs but also spans telephone and the fastest growing channel i.e.
internet. In fact, some retail banks in the west operate solely via the internet and do
not have facilities to serve customers at physical outlets. Generally, however, the
banks that focus purely on retail clientele are relatively few and retail banking
activities are generally conducted by separate divisions within banks.
A.G.I.M.S. Sangli
Page 13
Typically, retail banking services begin with a target clientele which is the common
masses and it slowly graduates through a stage which can be called as class retail
banking. The mass retail banking is the stage in which the bank provides
standardized banking products and services to its customers. In this phase the banks
attempt to build a sufficiently broad customer base which can serve as a stable source
of funding. The class retail banking on the other hand, is the stage in which the bank
offers customized products and services targeted at a niche customer segment, the
high net worth individuals. Retail banking focused solely at a niche customer segment
may also be termed as private banking.
This is not really confined only to emerging markets but is a global phenomenon. The
confusion primary emanates from whether the banking services offered for
entrepreneurial purposes should be considered as part of retail banking or not. Many
of the banks include the banking services extended to small borrowers and SME
clients also as part of mass retail banking. In my view, the retail banking in its most
basic form is only about servicing the individuals (mostly the masses) for nonentrepreneurial purposes. The retail banking over a period of time can make a
transition to class banking and banking for entrepreneurial purposes for the
individuals, for agriculture or for small businesses (SMEs). This is particularly so as
many aspects of retail banking in terms of delivery of services (large number of small
value transactions) and risk management practices (scoring model, model based
capital assessment) are also applicable to small businesses run by individual
entrepreneurs
Page 14
consolidating their branch networks so that they could operate in a more integrated
manner. Mergers and acquisitions allowed banks to grow quickly but, in the absence
initially of information and communication technologies, their services remained largely
local.
The policy of opening new branches continued throughout the twentieth century as a
means of business expansion, but services were limited to the provision of routine
operations such as deposits, withdrawals and basic loan services. To cope with the
increasing volume of work, and to achieve consistency across branch networks, banks
started to standardize their record keeping and accounting practices. This also helped
them to effectively connect branches. Standard record keeping also resulted in the
appearance of new professions such as bank clerks. The arrival of the typewriter in the
late nineteenth century helped to standardize internal/external communications, and other
tools such as the telegraph made communications between branches and headquarters a
daily routine.

nearly 9000 member-owned banking institutions regulated by the National Credit Union
Administration
During the last decade or so, new players such Internet only banks as well as other
organizations such as supermarkets have also started to offer retail financial services.
While large banks still hold the major market share, these other organizations are
making significant inroads. The importance of services distribution channels is also
changing at a rapid pace. In the past the main source of retail banking services
distribution was 'brick and mortar' branches. With the arrival of other channels such as
telephone banking and e-banking, the number of branches is steadily declining, a trend
also fuelled by mergers and takeovers. Now, most banks choose to deliver their products
and services through multiple channels, including the internet and telephone.
The retail banking space proved to be an oasis of relative calm amidst the tumult
caused by the Financial Tsunami that the world continues to grapple with even today.
The customer deposit garnered by retail banking represents an extremely important
source of stable funding for most banks. In this context, it is essential for the banks to
keep pushing the frontiers of innovation and experimentation in the retail banking space
to survive and also to remain relevant. One of the most essential elements of a strong
customer bank relationship is the banks understanding of customer needs and
preferences. However, with the massive increase in their size and their customer base,
the banks have slowly drifted away from understanding their customers needs and
preferences closely. Further, the proliferation of alternate delivery channels has
necessitated that banks build their presence across all channels (Omni-channel presence)
to offer their services to their customers. As the banks cant probably dictate that their
customers chose specific channel, the challenges for the banks is to design
products/systems which are channel/segment agnostic.
While retail banking offers phenomenal opportunities for growth, the
challenges are equally daunting. The exacting regulatory requirements on the consumer
protection front, risks from a slowing global economy and increasing customer
expectations mean that banks must innovate to grow. How far the mass retail banking of
A.G.I.M.S. Sangli
Page 16
the future would be able to fulfill its socio-economic objectives would in a large
measure depend upon the willingness of the banks to innovate and reform their business
processes and structures for this cause. It is in the banks own interest to be alive to the
customers interests; else they might have to face stiff regulatory sanctions. Post crisis,
several jurisdictions in the developed world have seen public demands for ethical
pricing. In this Facebook and Twitter age, the banks cannot remain oblivious to the
power of the social media which wields enough clout to forcibly reform the outliers
through negative publicity. Only such retail banks, who inculcate ability to churn out
innovative and differentiated products by harnessing cutting-edge technology, greatly
improve their productivity and efficiency, bring a fair, transparent and nondiscriminatory pricing and demonstrate a commitment towards fair treatment to their
customers, would be able to survive and add value to the society Retail loans can be
risky when individuals lack purchasing power.
Corporate have their own avenues, e.g. tapping public deposits and issuance of
shares and debentures.
A.G.I.M.S. Sangli
Page 17
Page 18
Retail banking is a concept which is relatively new and all banks are giving thrust to
retail banking, it refers to providing banking services to individual customers and focus is
on small ticket transactions rather than big ticket transactions. Retail banking has many
advantages, lets look at some of them
The first and foremost advantage of retail banking is that it increases the overall
business of the banks and also helps in improving the brand image because a
customer is more likely to remember a brand when he or she uses it himself or
herself rather than just seeing it in newspapers or television advertisements. So for
example in banking if you ask a normal individual about name of bank which has
retail operations then he or she will quickly recognize it but if you ask the same
individual about some big investment bank dealing with corporate clients having
operations in many countries chances are individual would not have even heard
the name of that bank because he or she has never dealt with them.
Since in retail banking the ticket size of loan is smaller and if borrower or group
of borrowers becomes insolvent then it does not put that much strain on the bank
balance sheet as opposed to some big corporate going bankrupt because the ticket
size of loan is quite high in case of corporate loans. In simple words one can say
that retail banking gives the advantage of diversification to the bank.
It is easy to sell third party products like insurance, mutual fund and provide other
non-fund based services to retail customers and therefore improve the bottom line
A.G.I.M.S. Sangli
Page 19
of the banks without any credit risks which is there if bank depends only on loans
as their income and that is the reason why many banks today are focusing more
on non-fund based portfolio rather than fund based portfolio
