Basic challenge to the present century-old cooperative financial institutions in our country, as rightly indicated in one of the study reports, is to strike a balance between attaining profitability by running their business on commercial lines on one hand and carrying out their service-oriented activities under the well-conceived principles of coveted 'co-operative movement', on the other.

System Of Loan Delivery Of Bank Credit And Its Impact

Introduction: Cash Credit Limit is the most popular form of working capital and functions like an overdraft account. A firm which held a certain cash credit limit with a bank would withdraw money from that account whenever they required and repay it back whenever they have received the sale proceeds and pay the interest as per agreed rate of interest. It is true that having this type of credit facility is very useful for firms, but it created some volatility in liquidity management for banks. Many big firms often enjoy substantial cash credit limits but hardly use them, due to this reason banks are not earning any income from that un-utilised limit and at the same time banks are unable to meet the credit requirement of other firms because of lack of liquidity.
