 4.1 FINANCE
The activities expected from a finance department cover a wide range from basic book keeping to
providing information to assisting managers in making strategic decisions. The finance
department is also responsible for management of the organization’s cash flow and ensuring there
are enough funds available to meet the day-to-day payments. This area also encompasses the
credit and collections policies for the company’s customers, to ensure the organization is paid on
time. In most organizations there will be some form of forecast prepared on a regular basis to
systematically calculate the ongoing cash needs. It is also responsible for advising and sourcing
longer term financing. Financing may be obtained though bank or private lender debt or, in
applicable firms, share issues to private investors. The finance department can then start to
contribute to the management and improvement of the operations by measuring and reporting
regularly on key numbers crucial to the success of the organization. The finance department will
work with managers to prepare the organization’s budgets and forecasts, and to report back on the
progress against these throughout the year. This information can be used to plan staffing levels,
asset purchases and expansions and cash needs, before they become necessary.

CAPITAL TO RISK ASSET RATIO (CRAR):

The Bank's Capital adequacy ratio stood at a level of 12.32%. The Bank’s Risk Weighted Assets
at the end of March, 2017 amounted to Rs. 4,751 Cr. against which Capital Funds stood at
Rs.585.46 Cr. The Bank raised capital funds through available resources viz. Long Term
Subordinated Deposits (LTD) and Perpetual Non-Cumulative Preference Shares (PNCPS).

so as to maintain the required level of CRAR.

RESOURSE MOBILISATION:

Table 4.2.5

The deposit growth of 18% is above the industry growth of 12%. During the year there was a
general decline in rate of interest on deposits which has restricted the growth in term deposits.
However during demonetization, there was an increase in deposits. This has also helped the Bank
to improve the CASA by 23.15% to 24.75%, an increase of 1.60%. The Bank realizes the
importance of growth in CASA for overall improvement in profitability. Last year overall 33%
(as against 30% target) of the incremental deposits were CASA deposits.

ASSET QUALITY:

The Bank’s Gross NPA and Net NPA stood at 4.76% and 2.94% respectively as at the end of
March 2017. Asset quality is one of the most critical areas in determining the overall condition of
a bank. The Bank endeavors to maintain a good asset quality. Whereas the Indian Banking
Industry is facing serious challenge to maintain the asset quality, this Bank has done reasonably

17
well in controlling the slippages of accounts into NPAs as well as in the recovery of the old NPA
accounts. Though there is increase in amount of Gross NPAs from Rs.172 Cr. to Rs.243.98 Cr.,
these advances are substantially secured by tangible securities and appropriate steps for recovery
have been initiated for reduction in the same. This year, the Bank has adopted a different
approach for recovery and the new NPA accounts are monitored at Zones and branch level and
the Recovery dept. has been entrusted with recovery of old NPA accounts. This two-way strategy
of curtailing the addition, and reduction in old accounts will lead to the desired results and put a
further check on rise in NPAs. Keeping this in mind, as an abundant precaution, requisite
provisions by way of Bad and Doubtful Debt Reserve (BDDR) and Bad and Doubtful Debts Fund
(BDDF) are made towards NPAs in accordance with the guidelines issued by RBI. The Bank has
created additional BDDF of Rs.5.00 Cr. during F.Y. 2016-17 (P.Y. Rs. 3.25 Cr.) by way of
appropriation out of net profit.

The clearing system is local and confined to a definite jurisdiction covering all the banks and

of banks under the management of a bank where the settlement accounts are maintained. The
Reserve Bank of India has issued the Uniform Regulation And Rules for Bankers’ Clearing
Houses (URRBCH) which has been adopted by all clearing houses.

Clearing Process:

The clearing process begins with the deposit of cheque/ other clearing instruments. The bank
arranges the cheque submitted to it for clearing bank wise and presents it in the clearing house of
other banks. When there are more than one bank branch for the bank in a clearing area, they
would have a coordinating branch/ Service branch to take care of presenting the cheques to the
clearing house. Upon receipt of the cheque/ other instrument, they are passed for payment if the
funds are available and the banker is satisfied about the genuineness of the instrument. The
cheques that are unpaid are returned to the presenting bank through another clearing called the
Return clearing. The realization of funds occur after the completion of the return clearing and by
the absence of an unpaid cheque.

Time for clearing process at Pathri Branch:

General time: 10:00am to 11:30am (weekdays)

This system is a nationwide fund transfer system to facilitate transfer of funds from any bank
branch to any another bank branch. This is typically for individual branches participating in
NEFT could be located anywhere across the country. The beneficiary gets the credit on the same
day or the next day depending on the time of settlement. To participate in NEFT the participating
bank branches should have Indian Financial System Code (IFSC) code. It is an alphanumeric
code designed to uniquely identify the bank branches in India. This is 11 digit code where first 4
characters representing bank code, the next reserved as control character (presently appears in
fifth position) and remaining 6 characters to identify branch. The MICR code is 9 digits to
identify the bank branch.

Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS)

This is a large value fund transfer system whereby financial intermediaries can settle interbank
transfer for their own accounts as well as for their customers on a “real time” and a “gross” basis.
The system affects final settlement of interbank fund transfer on a continuous, transaction-by-
transaction basis through the processing day (RTGS business hours). The RTGS system is
primarily for large value transactions. While RTGS remittance will be credited to the
beneficiary’s account by maximum time lag of two hours. If the transfer had not happened the
money would be returned to payer’s account.

communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers,
clients, and public at large. Marketing and Promotion in general is a big part of any
bank of financial institution. As bank is everything, they rely on their promotional
material in order to sustain their reputation. This comes through in many ways,
especially when dealing with financial and insurance policies. They take special care
when creating graphs, logos and other visualizations. And that’s why People who
work in marketing departments of companies try to get the attention of target
audiences by using slogans, packaging design, celebrity endorsements and general
media exposure.
VUCOB Bank said that these initiatives are especially targeted at those
consumers who are not aware about the bank's various value added services such as
direct banking facilities."We are going to demonstrate the advantages of net banking
and mobile banking, as these concepts are relatively new to people living in smaller
towns and cities. The bank has also launched another initiative which is targeted at
areas where the bulk of the population comprises small businessmen. Bank can
measure the result of a campaign through the sales that they generate and the
customers that are added.

gives the team a stronger voice. Bank has also been able to reduce their ad spends by

 8. CONCLUSION
The VUCOB Co-op Bank has a history of 20 years of its existence in the corporate world.
The bank has gained its customer base by excellent customer relation it has maintained. However,
as compared to nationalized banks and other private sector banks, the VUCOB Co-op bank does
not have its presence across India. The bank needs to reduce this gap and increase its customer
base. The bank has further plans of opening new branches thus focus on further expansion of
business.

The bank should work more on its technical part like timely SMS alert, Timely EMI
deduction, Mobile banking, internet banking etc. and make it more viable for the customer. The
bank encourages small and medium enterprises by providing them easy loan facility and thus
promoting them in the mainstream of the economy. Bank has come up with various projects under
loan services which should be retained. Due to increase in advances, the interest received by the
bank is provides a major source of income for the bank. The bank has lot of opportunity ahead, if
utilized efficiently, will help in further development and growth of the bank.
