PROJECT ON DEVELOPMENT BANK

Executive Summary

Development bank plays a very important role in economic development of


our country. Since independence they have contributed a lot to the inception
of industrialization and all other technological innovations. There basic
objective is to assist the development in country which perform by proving
every kind of help possible i.e. financial, advisory, technological etc.
This study helps in portraying the current picture of development banks in
India and shows their role in economy. It also helps in showing the various
schemes that banks have and their whole procedure to provide the assistance
to people.
This study also shows the various lacks in the system of development banks
due which they fail in some sphere to achieve their set targets. There are
various drawbacks in our own financial system that hinderers the growth of
these development banks such as lack of funds with government, lack of
project, lack of efficient machinery,
In this study all the possible measure to remove these hindrances are
described through which we can move more speedily then other economies
in world.
In this study four major development banks in India are taken into research
work i.e. IDBI, IFCI, SIDBI, and NABARD. All the schemes, assistances
and programs are studied and highligtened. Every bank differs from his
objective with each other so as the assistance provided by them.

INTRODUCTION TO TOPIC

INDIAN FINANCIAL SYSTEM


Indian financial system is one of the world largest financial systems. Indian
economy is world 4th biggest economy but this Indian financial system has
under gone through various changes or we can say that it has different stages
since its inception.
Basically Indian financial system can be divided into 3 categories:
 Before independence
 Pre- 1991 era
 Post-1991 era

BEFORE INDEPENDENCE
In British rule India first time seen the organized financial system, although
all that was meant for britishers but that provided us the layout for future
course of action i.e. to build our own financial system. At that time banks
and other financial institutions were at their infantry stage but the given a
base to build the whole system on them. That time can be considered as the
preliminary stage of Indian financial system and at that time there were no
development banks as the motive of colonial rule was to draw the wealth not
to make country developing.

PRE 1991 ERA


This era has seen the gradual rise in the economy of India. After
independence banks and other financial institutions to provide funds were

7
PROJECT ON DEVELOPMENT BANK
established and development banks were also a part of them which were
established specially to provide financial aid to industrial sector and to
promote entrepreneurship in India.
The financial system in this era was based on socialistic pattern of society
and the economy was of mixed type but basically it was public sector based
economy. The motive was to promote every sector of society to uplift and
earn for himself. Indian financial system continued with this pattern for
about 40 years but in true sense the economic growth never boosted up as
there was so many hindrances and lacks in system itself which taken country
in such a crisis that it has to borrow funds by pledging its gold that was
called the crisis of 1991

POST 1991 ERA


To come out the crisis, India has to adopt the new policy regarding the
financial system to speed up the growth and to raise the economy and in
order to perform that a new policy of LIBERALIZATION-
PRIVATIZATION- GLOBALIZATION i.e. LPG was adopted. The basic
motive was to reduce the government control over the economy and to let it
flourish itself. Indian financial system is currently working on this policy
and now the economic growth rate has also risen. Now the development
banks are working in accordance with the industry in order to satisfy their
need of funds and to provide every possible help required. Although the
growth is still slow in comparison with other countries but soon India will
become the strongest economy of world.

used to their optimum level, and thus, custom hiring should be encouraged
and popularized. The NABARD has also recommended that finance for farm
machinery should be given only to farmers’ groups or cooperatives. Farmers
should also be educated to avail group loans, it added

INDIAN FINANCIAL SYSTEM


Indian financial system is one of the world largest financial systems.
Indian economy is world 4th biggest economy but this Indian financial

revolves what are the similarities and difference between various
development banks and to find out the role of development banks in

PROJECT ON DEVELOPMENT BANK

CONCEPTUALIZATION

The concept of development banking rose only after Second World War ,
Successive of the Great Depression in 1930s. The demand for reconstruction
funds for the affected nations compelled in setting up a worldwide institution
for reconstructions. As a result the IBRD was set up in 1945 as a worldwide
institution for development and reconstruction. This concept has been
widened all over the world and resulted in setting up of large number of
banks around the world which coordinating the developmental activities of
different nations with different objectives among the world.

(IFCI)

At the same time raw industrial units were to be set up for industrializing the
country. Government of India came forward to set up the Industrial Finance
Corporation of India (IFCI) in July 1948 under a Special Act. The Industrial
Development Bank of India, scheduled banks, insurance companies,
investment trusts and co-operative banks are the shareholders of IFCI.

(IDBI)

Industrial Development Bank of India was set up to accelerate the


development of the country. A number of financial institutions came into
existence after independence and were catering to a variety of needs of the
industry. There was a lack of co-coordinating different institutions and it led
to overlapping and duplication in their efforts: At the same time some
gigantic projects of national importance were not getting required financial

14
PROJECT ON DEVELOPMENT BANK
assistance. It was in response to this need that the Industrial Development
Bank of India (IDBI) was established in 1964 as a wholly owned subsidiary
of Reserve Bank of India.

(NABARD)
NABARD is set up as an apex Development Bank with a mandate for
facilitating credit flow for promotion and development of agriculture, small-
scale industries, cottage and village industries, handicrafts and other rural
crafts. It also has the mandate to support all other allied economic activities
in rural areas, promote integrated and sustainable rural development and
secure prosperity of rural areas

(SIDBI)
SIDBI is a Principal Development Financial Institution for:
-- Promotion
-- Financing and
-- Development of Industries in the small scale sector and
--Co-coordinating the functions of other institutions engaged in similar
activities.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research


problem. It may be understood as a science of studying how research is done
scientifically. In it we study the various steps that are generally adopted by a
researcher in studying his research problem along with logic behind him.
Why a research study has been undertaken, how a research problem has been
defined, in what way and why the hypothesis has been formulated, what data
have been collected and what particular method has been adopted, why
particular technique of analyzing data has been used and a host of similar
other questions are usually answered when we talk of research methodology
concerning a research problem or study.

RESEARCH DESIGN:
A research design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and
analysis of in a manner and aims to combine relevance to the research
purpose with economy in procedure. In fact the research design is the
conceptual structure within which research I conducted. Research Design is
needed because it facilitates the smooth sailing of the various research
operations thereby making research as efficient as possible yielding
maximum information with minimal expenditure of effort, time and money.
I have adopted descriptive and conclusive research design. Descriptive
research is those studies, which are concerned with describing the
characteristics of a particular individual or a group.
16
PROJECT ON DEVELOPMENT BANK
Since the aim is to obtain the accurate information about the development
banks in terms of their role in Indian financial system, I have studied the
various data available in books, journals, magazines and on internet.

DATA SOURCES:
The researcher can gather primary data, secondary data or both. Secondary
data are data that were collected for another purpose and already exist
somewhere. Primary data are data specially gathered for a specific purpose
or for a specific research project. Since the study is based on already existing
facts and figures, so all the sources of data are secondary

SECONDARY DATA
The main source of information for the study was
 Weekly magazines
 RBI bulletin
 Information available in form of articles
 Information available on internet

PROJECT ON DEVELOPMENT BANK

INTRODUCTION TO DEVELOPMENT BANKS

DEVELOPMENT banks in India have had a chequered and not always a


happy history. Some have managed to come back from the brink by taking
to universal banking, or merging with a normal bank. In general, it may be
said that development banking has lost its charm. So much so that when an
official was shifted from the none-too-healthy Indian Bank to NABARD, a
banking veteran said that she deserved not congratulations but
commiseration.

Political interference and flawed industrial policy have been the main
reasons why development banks have fared badly. At the same time, it needs
to be said that some conceptual errors about the nature of development
banking have made matters worse.

From the time of Independence, political interference in the functioning of


banks has been both overt and covert. For instance, loan melas made many
banks sick. Even now, many villagers think that a loan from a government
bank is a gift; it need not be repaid. In spite of such impressive sounding
institutions as Debt Recovery Tribunals, it is still difficult for banks to
recover in full the amounts due; more often than not, banks have no option
but write-off most of the dues. Periodic concessions to borrowers ordered by
the Reserve Bank of India have made debt recovery quite difficult. In
consequence, ill health has dogged the banks in India.

18
PROJECT ON DEVELOPMENT BANK
Though development banks did not have to suffer from loan melas, they too
were subject to political pressure to fund projects of dubious value. For long
years, there was no culture of financial closure; many projects started more
with hope and hype than with calculated design, and with no clear idea of
where the funds would be found to complete them. Even if the project had
been well conceived, administrative delays made many projects unviable.

During the License Raj, getting a manufacturing license was an end in itself.
Licenses were obtained or bought merely because they were there and not
because they made economic sense. It was also possible to control a
company by investing no more than a small fraction of the total cost. It was
not uncommon in those days for not-so-scrupulous-businessmen to recover
their entire investment by extracting commissions. There was no
competition to enforce efficiency. Under such circumstances, the surprise is
not that development banks performed badly but that they survived at all.

Notwithstanding these handicaps, development banks made the situation


worse by a faulty appreciation of their role. Normally, bankers are cautious.
They lend only to the wealthy who can offer safe and substantial collateral.
Bankers are not ambitious: they are content charging a fixed interest even if
the borrower makes a killing and multiples the investment several times.
They also accept as normal the erosion of asset value by inflation.

Development banking is different: Loans are made not to those who have
accumulated wealth in the past but to those who show promise to become
wealthy in the future. Normal banking looks for safety in assets accumulated

19
PROJECT ON DEVELOPMENT BANK
from the past; in development banking, possible accumulation of assets in
the future is the true collateral. Thus, while in normal banking, the collateral
is real and tangible, in development banking, the collateral is a dream; it is
intangible. In normal banking, an interest default of more than 90 days
becomes a non-performing asset. In the case of development, growth is
rarely smooth; development happens in fits and starts; cash flows are subject
to wild fluctuations and become negative at times.

Hence, development banks need to have a longer perspective than three


months; they should show patience for years. Normal banks can afford to be
myopic; development banks should take the long view. For development
banks, it is the trend line and not the current surplus that is important. As one
development banker blithely explained: "When I see any risk, I take my
money and run away." But that is not development banking; development
banks take risks that ordinary banks will not.

There is some truth in the well-worn cliché that bankers lend when the
borrower does not need any money, and foreclose when the borrower is in
distress. Development bankers should be different; they should lend a
helping hand in moments of distress, and make up for the risk they take by
extracting larger returns when the borrower recovers.

For that reason, development banks should not operate on a fixed rate of
interest. They should evolve a mechanism which depends on the health of
the borrower. One possibility is to take a share of the profits. However, that
is highly risky. Profit-related investment is best left to venture capitalists. In
risk taking, development banks fall midway between safety-conscious
traditional banks and the daredevil venture capitalists. In seeking returns,

20
PROJECT ON DEVELOPMENT BANK
they need to follow a via media — neither be inflexible with a fixed rate of
interest, nor be volatile and bet on equity.

For development banks, a charge on the running costs of the firm could be
that via media, specifically two of them, (a) rents which include the cost of
all outsourcing of materials and services, and (b) wages. Then, a charge on
the rent and wage costs of the borrowing firm, a charge levied only when the
firm has a surplus to pay, could be the via media that development banks
could adopt.

In other words, development banks should think differently, and should have
a long time horizon. They should acquire the expertise to assess the optimum
waiting period and fix the rate of charge on wage costs and rents paid
accordingly. Incidentally, this kind of charge is not only transparent; it will
also make firms cost-conscious. That is an added benefit, additional safety.

If development banks charge variable returns, they will need a


complementary deposit regime. Pensioners like to have constant real returns
that are protected against erosion by inflation. Hence, they need returns that
rise with time. Thus, development banks would do well to devise a Pension
Fund with inflation-linked returns. Then, they will have a matched
programme for assets and liabilities.

Traditional banking is lending to the real estate developer at a fixed rate of


interest. Venture funding is taking a share in his profits, but development
banking is the policy of placing a charge on the rents collected. That is not
normal and requires a change in the mindset, a new vision, which could give
development banks a new life.

21
PROJECT ON DEVELOPMENT BANK

Definition of a development bank

Development banks are .the institutions engaged in the promotion and


development of industry, agriculture and other key sectors. In the words of
A.G. Kheradjou "A development bank is like a living organism that reacts to
the social-economic environment and Its success depends on reacting most
aptly to that environment". Kheradjou assigns an important task to the
development banks. He feels that these banks should react to the socio-
economic needs. They should satisfy the developmental needs of the
economy and their success is linked to the satisfactory growth of the
economy. In the views of William' Diamond" A development bank has the
opportunity to promote enterprises i.e. to conceive investment proposals and
to stimulate others to pursue tI1em or' itself to carry them through, from
'conception' to 'realization'. In principle, a development bank is well suited to
assume this kind of role. Yet, enterprise creation is fraught with costs and
risks which development bank cannot neglect. Development banks can
prudently undertake them only when they have the requisite financial
strength, technical expertise and the managerial skill to bank. ", In his views,
a developl1!enLbank is an institution which takes up the job of developing
industrial enterprises from its inception to completion. This process involves
costs as well as risks. The bank should have sufficient financial sources and
expertise to promote a new unit. D.M. Mithani states that. "A development
bank may be defined as a financial institution concerned with providing all
types of financial assistance (medium as well as long-term) to business units.

22
PROJECT ON DEVELOPMENT BANK
I the form of loans, underwriting, investment and guarantee operations and
development in general and industrial

The role of a development bank has been emphasised in this definition. In


this view a development bank aims to provide financial and promotional
facilities for the overall development of a country.

Features of a development bank.


A development bank has the following features or characteristics:
1) A development bank does not accept deposits from the public like
commercial banks and other financial institutions who entirely depend
upon saving mobilization.
2) It is a specialized financial institution which provides medium term
and long-term lending facilities.
3) It is a multipurpose financial institution. Besides providing financial
help it undertakes promotional activities also. It helps an enterprise
from planning to operational level.
4) It provides financial assistance to both private as well as public sector
institutions.
5) The role of a development bank is of gap filler. When assistance from
other sources is not sufficient then this channel helps. It does not
compete with normal channels of finance.
6) Development banks primarily aim to accelerate the rate of growth. It
helps industrialization specific and economic development in general

23
PROJECT ON DEVELOPMENT BANK

GROWTH OF DEVELOPMENT BANKS

Although development banks attracted great attention after World War II but
there one insurances or such institutions even much earlier, First
development bank was found in belgium in 1822 under the name of Societ a
de General de Belgique with the purpose of financing and promoting
industry. It was a joint stock bank which nursed funds through the sale of
shares and bonds in order to finance; commercial and industrial enterprises.
This new technique of banking got impetus only in 1852 when 'Credit
Mobilize of France' was set up. It mobilized resources through the sale of
bonds and promissory notes and made long-term investments particularly in
public utility undertakings, railways, insurance companies and banks.
Financing industrialization but it could not strictly be called a development
bank. World War I, European countries developed specialized institutions to
provide industrial finance for reconstruction, modernization and
development of war regard industries. These banks were mainly mortgage
banks which extended long-term loans to industrial undertakings upon first
mortgage of industrial property. Among the important institutions were
Bank of Finland Ltd., National Hungarian Industrial Mortgage Institute Ltd.,
and National Economic Bank of Poland.

Some institutions developed during this period were Industrial Development


Bank of Canada (1944), France Corporation for Industry Ltd. and industrial
and Commercial Finance Corporation Ltd., England (1945), Industrial
Finance Department of Common wealth Bank of Australia (1945). These
institutions not only provided term loans to industry but also participated in

24
PROJECT ON DEVELOPMENT BANK
the share capital of companies. The institutions in England even have the
option to convert their loans into preference or equity shares. Though
English and Canadian institutions could at best be described as finance
corporations but that of Australia could be called a development bank
because it could assist in the establishment and development of industrial
undertakings. Despite the differences in the organization, Scope and
methods of various institutions the main thrust of all of them was to access,
those enterprises where sufficient help was not forthcoming from traditional
sources. They acted essentially as gap fillers in peculiar circumstances of the
pest-war years.
In the last 50 years developing countries have promoted many development
thanks. These banks have been developed with special purpose in mind.
They differ in ownership, organization, scope etc. Some' are exclusively
owned by government (Industrial Development Bank of Nepal, 1959,
National Development Bank of Brazil, 1965) others by private interests
(Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India, Industrial Finance
Corporation of Thailand, etc.) Some other Banks (Summer Bank of Turkey)
are meant to promote and finance government ' undertakings only, some
exclusively for private enterprises while some for both. Some banks can
only lend while some can lend and take equities besides underwriting. Some
are concerned with entire economy while some are for specific sectors only.
Some banks are regional; some are national while a few are inter-regional
(Asian Development Bank) or international such as World Bank,
International Finance Corporation, International Development Association
etc. Some banks provide only local currency while some deal in both local
and foreign currencies, etc.

25
PROJECT ON DEVELOPMENT BANK

OBJECTIVES OF DEVELOPMENT BANKS

Every country felt the need to accelerate the rate of development in post
world war era. Some countries were directly involved in war while many
others were indirectly affected by it. There was a need for reconstructing
economics at a faster speed. The existing machinery for developmental
activities was not sufficient to the requirements of industry. There was a
need to set up such institutions which would take up promotional activities
besides financing. In this background developmental banks were needed for
the following reasons:
1. Lay Foundations for Industrialization
A number of countries got independence from colonial rule. Their
economies needed to be rehabilitated. Other underdeveloped and developing
countries too needed to accelerate the pace of industrialization. To lay a
solid foundation for growth, establishment of certain key industries such as
cement, engineering, machine making, chemicals, etc. is essential. Private
entrepreneurs were not forthcoming to invest in these vital' areas due to risk
involved and Ibng gestation period in those industries. Moreover, it was
beyond the means and capacity of private individuals to take up these
projects. They needed special facilities from institutions which could extend
long-tenn help. The governments of under developed countries set up
development and institutions to fill the vacuum.

26
PROJECT ON DEVELOPMENT BANK

2. Meet Capital Needs


1'nere was a dearth of capital needed to foster industrial growth in
underdeveloped countries. Owing to the low level of income of the people
there were no sufficient surpluses for capitalization. There was a need for
institutions which could meet this gap between demand and supply for
capital.

3. Need for Promotional Activities


Besides capital needs, underdeveloped countries suffered from lack of
expertise, managerial and technical know-how. Developmental banks could
take up the job of and joint sectors and provide managerial and resources
and skills and of channeling them into approved fields under private
auspices are needed in these countries.

4. Help Small and Medium Sectors'


The large scale was, to some extent, able to meet its needs. There was a need
to mitigate sufferings of small and medium size industries which form a
sizeable sector of the industrial economy. Despite the important role played
by these sectors they experience scarcity of capital owing to the apathy of
investors to invest their savings because of their credit worthiness and
profitability. There was a need for special institutions to help these sectors in
playing vital role in the industrialization of developing and under developed
countries.

27
PROJECT ON DEVELOPMENT BANK

FUNCTIONS OF DEVELOPMENT BANKS

Development banks have been started with the motive of increasing the pace
of industrialization. The traditional financial institutions could not take up
this challenge because of their limitations. In order to help all round
industrialization development banks were made multipurpose institutions.
Besides financing they were assigned promotional work also. Some
important functions of these institutions are discussed as follows:

1. Financial Gap Fillers


Development banks do not provide medium-tenn and long-tenn loans only
but they help industrial enterprises in many other ways too. These banks
subscribe to the bonds and debentures of the companies, underwrite to their
shares and debentures and, guarantee the loans raised from foreign and
domestic sources. They also help 'undertakings to acquire machinery from
within and outside the country.

2. Undertake Entrepreneurial Role


Developing countries lack entrepreneurs who can take up the job of setting
up new projects. It may be due to lack of expertise and managerial ability.
Development banks were assigned the job of entrepreneurial gap filling.
They undertake the task of discovering investment projects, promotion of
industrial enterprises, provide technical and managerial assistance,
undertaking economic and technical research, conducting surveys, feasibility
studies etc. The promotional role of development bank is very significant for
increasing the pace of industrialization.

28
PROJECT ON DEVELOPMENT BANK

3. Commercial Banking Business


Development banks normally provide medium and long-term funds to
industrial enterprises. The working capital needs of the units are met by
commercial banks. In developing countries, commercial banks have not been
able to take up this job properly. Their traditional approach in dealing with
lending proposals and assistance on securities has not helped the industry.

4. Joint Finance
Another feature of development bank's operations is to take up joint
financing along with other financial institutions. There may be constraints of
financial resources and legal problems (prescribing maximum limits of
lending) which may force banks to associate with other institutions for
taking up the financing of some projects jointly.

5. Refinance Facility
Development banks also extend refinance facility to the lending institutions.
In this scheme there is no direct lending to the enterprise. The lending
institutions are provided funds by development banks against loans
extended' to industrial concerns. In this way the institutions which provide
funds to units are refinanced by development banks.

6. Credit Guarantee
The small scale sector is not getting proper financial facilities due to the
clement of risk since these units do not have sufficient securities to offer for
loans, lending institutions are hesitant to extend them loans. To overcome
this difficulty many countries including India and Japan have devised credit
guarantee scheme and credit insurance scheme.

LENDING PROCEDURES OF DEVELOPMENT BANKS


OPERATIONAL ACTIVITIES)
Development banks follow a procedure for evaluating a proposal for a
project. The basic objective is to check whether the applicant fulfils various
conditions prescribed by the lending institution and the project is viable. The
acceptance of a wrong proposal will result in the wastage of scarce
resources. These banks adopt the following procedure for lending:

1. Project Appraisal and Eligibility of Applicant


Every financial institution serves a particular area of activity or there are
certain limits prescribed beyond which they cannot go. Before processing
the application, it is important to find out whether the applicant is eligible
under the norms of the institution or not. The second aspect which is looked
into is to determine whether the enterprise has fulfilled various conditions
prescribed by the government. The bank institution considers financial
assistance in the light of
(I) Guidelines for assistance to industries issued by the government or others
concerned from time to time
(ii) Guidelines issued by the bank
(iii) Policy decisions of the Board of Directors of the bank.

2. Technical Appraisal
A technical appraisal involves the study of:
1) Feasibility and suitability of technical process in Indian conditions.

30
PROJECT ON DEVELOPMENT BANK
2) Location, of the project in relation to the availability of raw materials,
power: water. labour, fuel, transport, communication facilities and
market for finished products.
3) The scale of operations and its suitability for the planned project.
4) The technical soundness of the projects.
5) Sources of purchasing plant and machinery and the reputation of
suppliers. etc.
6) Arrangement for the disposal of factory affluent and use of bye
products, if any.
7) The estimated cost of the project and probable selling price of the
product.
8) The programme for completing the project.
9) The sources of supplying various inputs and marketing arrangements.
10) Details of any technical collaboration and its practical aspects.
The technical appraisal determines the suitability of the project.

3. Economic Viability
The economic appraisal will consider the national and industrial priorities of
the project export potential of the product employment potential, study of
market.

4. Assessing Commercial Aspects


The examination of commercial aspects relates to the arrangements for the
purchase of raw materials and sale of finished products. If the concern has
some arrangement for sale then the position of the party should be assessed.

31
PROJECT ON DEVELOPMENT BANK

5. Financial Feasibility
The financial feasibility of a new and an existing concern will be assessed
differently. The assessment for a new concern will involve:
1) The needs for fixed assets, working capital and preliminary expenses
will be estimated to find out its needs.
2) The financing plans will be studied in relation to capital structure,
promoters' contribution, debt-equity ratio.
3) Projected cash flow statements both during the construction and
.operation periods
4) Projected profitability and the like dividend in near future.

6. Managerial Competence
The success .of a concern depends up on the competence of management.
Proper application of various policies will determine the Success of an
enterprise. A lending institution would see the background, qualifications,
business experience of promoters and other persons associated with
management.
7. National Contribution
Besides commercial profitability, national contribution .of the project is also
taken into account. The role of the project in the national economy and its
benefits to the society in the form of good quality products, reasonable
prices, employment generation, helpful in social infrastructure etc. should be
assessed. Development banks aim at the over all welfare of the society.

8. Balancing of Various Factors


Various factors should be balanced against each other. The circumstances .of
the individual project will help in weighing various factors. Some factors
may be strong as their in-depth analysis should be avoided. In case a project
is profitable, there will be no need to assess cash flow. Weaknesses located
in certain areas may be .offset by the good points in the .other. An
experienced management and sound economic outlook may compensate
some weakness in financial positions. The responsibility of lending bank lies
in balancing judiciously different considerations for arriving at a consensus.

9. Loan Sanction
After the appraisal report on the project is prepared by the bank's officers, it
is placed before the advisory committee consisting of experts drawn from
various fields of the particular industry. If the advisory committee is
satisfied tile proposal then it recommends the case to the Managing Director
or board of Directors along with its own report. When the assistance is
sanctioned hen a letter to this effect is issued to the pay giving details of
conditions.

10. Loan Disbursement


The loan is disbursed after the execution of loan agreement. The execution
of documents of security or guarantee etc. should precede the disbursement
of loan.

DEVELOPMENT BANKING IN INDIA

The foreign rulers in India did not take much interest in the industrial
development of the country. They were interested to take raw materials to
England and bring back finished goods to India. The government did not
show any interest for securing up institutions needed for industrial financing.
The “recommendation for setting up industrial financing institutions was
made in 1931 by Central Banking Enquiry Committee but no concrete steps
were taken. In 1949, Reserve Bank had undertaken a detailed study to find
out the need for specialized institutions. It was in 1948 that the first
development bank i.e. Industrial Finance Corporation of India (IFCI) was
established. IFCI was assigned the role of a gap-filler which implied that it
was not expected to compete with the existing channels of industrial finance.
It was expected to provide medium and long-term credit to industrial
concerns only when they could not raise sufficient finances by raising capital
or normal banking accommodation. In view of the vast size of the country
and needs of the economy it was decided 10 set up regional development
banks to cater to the needs of the small and medium enterprises. In 1951,
Parliament passed State Financial Corporation Act. Under this Act state
governments could establish financial corporation’s for their respective
regions. At present there are 18 State Financial Corporation’s (SFC's) in
India.

The IFCI and state financial corporation’s served only a limited purpose.
There was a need for dynamic institutions which could operate as true
development agencies. National Industrial Development Corporation

34
PROJECT ON DEVELOPMENT BANK
(NIDC) was established in 1954 with the objective of promoting industries
which could not serve the ambitious role assigned to it and soon turned to be
a financing agency restricting itself to modernization and rehabilitation of
and jute textile industries.
The Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India (ICICI) were
established in 1955 as a Joint Stock Company. ICICI was supported by
Government of India, World Bank, Common wealth Development Finance
Corporation and other, foreign institutions. It provides term loans and takes
an active part in the underwriting of and direct investments in the shares of
industrial units. Though ICICI was established in private sector but its
pattern of shareholding and methods of raising funds gives it the
characteristic of a public sector financial institution. .
Another institution, Refinance Corporation for Industry Ltd. (RCI) was set
up in 1958 by Reserve’ Bank of India, LIC and Commercial Banks. The
purpose of RCI was to provide refinance to commercial banks and SFC's
against term loans granted by them to industrial concerns in private sector.
In 1964, Industrial Development Bank of India (IOBI) was set up as an apex
institution in the area of industrial finance, RCI was merged with IDBI.
IDBI was a wholly owned subsidiary of RBI and was expected to co-
ordinate the activities of the institutions engaged in financing, promoting or
developing industry.
However, it is no longer a wholly owned subsidiary of the Reserve Bank of
India. Recently, it made a public issue of shares to increase its capital. In
order to promote industries in the slate another type of institutions, namely,
the State Industrial Development Corporations (SIDC's) were established in
the sixties to promote medium scale industrial units.

PROMOTIONAL ROLE OF DEVELOPMENT BANKS IN


INDIA
The pace of development cannot be accelerated by providing financial
assistance alone. There are factors which inhibit industrialization of an
underdeveloped country. It is essential to make a correct diagnosis of those
factors and plan things accordingly. The growth potential of different areas,
the availability of natural resources, demand conditions, infrastructure
facilities, etc. should be taken into account before deciding the pattern .of
industrialization of various places. In addition to providing the traditional
role of providing financial assistance, development banks in India are
undertaking promotional role also. Some of the areas where these banks are
participating are:

(1) Surveys of Backward Areas


Under the Industrial Development Bank of India, development institutions
conducted industrial potential surveys in June, 1970 with a view to identify
specific project ideas for implementation in those areas. These surveys
studied the availability of resources, demand potential and availability of
infrastructures facilities. In 1982, Government .of India identified 83
districts in the country where no medium or large scale industrial units
existed. IOBI jointly with IFCI and ICICI launched a programme for
identifying industrial opportunities and needs for. These project ideas were
further screened and developed for arriving at some firm decision about their
implementation. IDBI conducted feasibility studies and cleared projects for
implementation.

36
PROJECT ON DEVELOPMENT BANK

(2) Inter-Institutional Groups (IIG's)


With a view to provide a forum to the national and state financial
institutions, IDBI constituted 23 IIG's in various states and union territories
These groups aimed to help accelerate the process of industrial development
in a state with particular emphasis on less developed areas, An attempt was
also made to evolve suitable strategies for industrial development within the
framework of national and state policies and local requirements. IDBI has
been constantly reviewing the functioning of these groups so as to evolve
suitable measures for malting them effective.

(3) Establishing Technical Consultancy Organizations (TCO's),


There is a need for technical consultancy at the time of selling up a new unit
and at the time of making change like modernization, expansion,
diversification, etc. The small and medium scale units cannot pay high fees
of consultancy agencies. With a view to help these entrepreneurs, financial
institutions set up 17 consultancy organization for providing consultancy at
nominal rates. These organizations provide consultancy services to small
and medium entrepreneurs, commercial banks, state-level financial
institutions and other agencies engaged in industrial promotion and
development.

(4) Entrepreneurial Development Programmers (EPP's)


Industrial development of a country is directly influenced by the quality of
entrepreneurs it has produced, with a view to impart requisite training to
entrepreneurs. IDBI has been encouraging entrepreneurial development
programmed.

37
PROJECT ON DEVELOPMENT BANK

Role of development banks in financial system


Financial institutions provide means and mechanism of transferring
resources from those who have an excess of income over expenditure to
those who can make productive use of the same. The commercial banks and
investment institutions mobilize savings of people and channel them into
productive uses. Financial institutions provide all type of assistant required
infrastructural facilities Institutions e p economic persons who can take the
development in the following ways.

1. Providing Funds:-
The underdeveloped countries have low levels of capital formation. Due to
low incomes, people are not able to save sufficient funds which are needed
for sensing up new units and also for expansion diversification and
modernization of existing units. The persons who have the capability of
starting a business but does not have requisite help approach to financial
institutions for help. These institutions help large number of persons for
taking up some industrial activity.

2. Infrastructural Facilities
Economic development of a country is linked to the availability of
infrastructural facilities. There is a need for roads, water, sewerage,
communication facilities, electricity etc. Financial institutions prepare their
investment policies by keeping national priorities in miner-The institutions
invest in those aim is which can help in increasing the development of the
country. Indian industry and agriculture is facing acute shortage of
electricity.
3. Promotional Activities
38
PROJECT ON DEVELOPMENT BANK
An entrepreneur faces many problems while setting up a new unit. One has
to undertake a feasibility report, prepare project report, complete registration
formalities, seek approval from various agencies etc. All these things require
time, money and energy. Some people are not able to undertake this exercise
or some do not even take initiative.
Some units may not have come up had they not received promotional help
from financial institutions. The promotional role of financial institutions is
helpful in increasing the development of a country.

4. Development of Backward Areas


Some areas remain neglected because facilities needed for setting up new
units are not available here. The entrepreneurs set up new units at those
places which are already developed. It causes imbalance in economic
development of some areas. In order to help the development of backward
areas, financial institutions provide special assistance to entrepreneurs for
setting up new units in these areas. IDBI, IFCI, ICICI give priority in giving
assistance to units set up in backward areas and even charge lower interest
rates on lending. Such efforts certainly encourage entrepreneurs to set up
new units in backward areas.

5. Planned Development
Financial institutions help in planned development of the economy.
Different institutions earmark their spheres of activities so that every
business activity is helped. Some institutions like SIDBI, SFCI's especially
help small scale sector while IFCI and SIDC's finance large scale sector or
extend loans above a certain limit. Some institutions help different segments
like foreign trade, tourism etc. In this way financial institutions devise their
39
PROJECT ON DEVELOPMENT BANK
roles and help the development in their own way. Financial institutions also
follow the development priorities set by central and state governments.

6. Accelerating Industrialization
Economic development of a country is linked to the level of industrialization
there. The setting up of more industrial units will generate direct and indirect
employment, make available goods and services in the country and help in
increasing the standard of living. Financial institutions provide requisite
financial, managerial, technical help for setting up new units. In some areas
private entrepreneurs do not want to risk their funds or gestation period His
long but the industries are needed for the development of the area. The
country has progressed in almost all areas of economic development.

7. Employment Generation
Financial institutions have helped both Direct and indirect employment
generation. They have employed many persons to man their offices. Besides
office staff, institutions need the services of experts which help them in
finalizing lending proposals. These institutions help in creating employment
by financing new and existing industrial units. They also help in creating
employment opportunities in backward areas by encouraging the setting
up of units in those areas, Thus financial institutions have helped in creating
new and better job opportunities.

country. Government of India came forward to set up the Industrial Finance
Corporation of India (IFCI) in July 1948 under a Special Act. The Industrial
Development Bank of India, scheduled banks, insurance companies,
investment trusts and co-operative banks are the shareholders of IFCI. The

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT BANK OF INDIA


(IDBI)
Industrial Development Bank of India was set up to accelerate the
development of the country. A number of financial institutions came into
existence after independence and were catering to a variety of needs of the
industry. There was a lack of co-coordinating different institutions and it led
to overlapping and duplication in their efforts: At the same time some
gigantic projects of national importance were not getting required financial
assistance. It was in response to this need that the Industrial Development
Bank of India (IDBI) was established in 1964 as a wholly owned subsidiary
of Reserve Bank of India.
The ownership of IDBI was transferred to Central Government on February
16, 1976. It is now working as state owned autonomous corporation. Besides
acting as a reserviour on which other financial institutions can draw, IDBI
provides direct financial assistance to industrial units to bridge the gap
between supply and demand of medium and long term finance.
The IDBI Act was amended, in 1994, to permit public ownership upto 49
percent., In 1995, it raised more than Rs. 20 billion through its first initial
public offer (IPO) of equity. It reduced the stake of the government to 72.14
percent. Further, in June 2000, a pan of the equity shareholding of the
government was convened into preference share capital which was redeemed
in March 2001, resulting into further reduction of government stake to
58.47 percent.

48
PROJECT ON DEVELOPMENT BANK

which can further be increased to Rs. 5000 crore. A pan of equity
capital (Rs. 253 crore) has been convened into preference capital.
IDBI has been permitted to issue equity capital to public with a
stipulation that at no time Government holding will be less than 51 per
cent. As on March 31,2003 the paid up capital of IDBI stood at Rs.
652.8 crores and reserve funds at Rs. 6325.3 crore.

51
PROJECT ON DEVELOPMENT BANK

2) Soft Loan Scheme


IDBI introduced in 1976 the soft loan scheme to provide financial assistance
to product units in selected industries viz., cement, cotton, textiles. jute,
sugar and certain engineering industries to modernize. Financial replace and
renovate their plant and equipment so as to achieve higher and more
economic levels of production.
This scheme was modified in Jan. 1984 and was named as Soft Loan
Scheme for modernization so as to cover deserving units in all industries.
Under this scheme assist3nce is available to production units for financing
modernization especially to upgrade technology, Export orientation, import
substitution, Energy saving, prevention of pollution, recycling of wastes, etc.
The performance under this scheme has not been encouraging because of
convertibility clause.

3) Technical Development Fund Scheme


The Government of India introduced the Technical Development Fund
(TDF) Scheme in March. 1976 for issue of import licenses for import of
small value balancing equipment, technical knowhow, foreign consultancy
services and drawings and designs by industrial units to enable them to
achieve fuller capacity utilization, technological up gradation and higher
exports. Some industrial units found it difficult to take advantage of the
import license issued under this scheme for want of rupee resources. In
January, 1977, IDBI introduced a scheme for providing matching rupee
loans to industrial units to enable them to utilize import licenses issued
under TDF scheme.

52
PROJECT ON DEVELOPMENT BANK

Rehabilitation Assistance to Sick Units


The problem of growing industrial sickness in India is a cause of worry. It
adversely affects production, employment, generation of income and
utilization of productive resources. With a view to combat sickness, IDBI
has devised the Refinance Scheme for Industrial Rehabilitation. The units
which have been assisted by State Financial Corporation or State Industrial
Development Corporations and are classified as sick are eligible under this
scheme. Capital, working capital term loan, payment of statutory liabilities,
cash losses during rehabilitation period etc. are met by the bank. The bank
has also been trying to bring merger of sick units with healthy units.

1) Refinance of Industrial Loans


IDBI provides refinance facility against term loans granted by the
eligible credit institutions to industrial concerns for setting up of
industrial projects as also for their expansion, modernization and
diversification. IDBI provides refinance to commercial banks, regional
rural banks, state, co-operative banks, state financial corporations, state
industrial development corporations or other institutions extending term
loan assistance to industrial units. Industrial units seeking term loan
approach the eligible financial institutions which, after sanctioning the
loans, approach the IDBI for refinance facility. The bank relies in the
appraisal done by the primary lending institutions that have to bear
primary responsibility for the loans granted by them. IDBI sanctioned a
sum of Rs. 20712.3 crores up to March 2003 under refinance of industrial
loans. Since 1967, IDBI has been extending indirect financial help to

53
PROJECT ON DEVELOPMENT BANK
small scale sector principally through its schemes of refinance of
industrial loans and bills discounting.

2) Rediscounting of Bills
IDBI introduced another indirect financing' scheme in 1965, whereby
rediscounting facility of machinery bills was, introduced. This scheme
was to help indigenous machinery manufacturers and their purchases.
The purchaser of machinery accepts bills of exchange or promissory
notes of the seller and undertakes to take the payment in installments.
The seller gets the bills discounted with his banker who in turn
rediscounts these bills with min. The rediscounting facility has been
made available to imported machinery also where bills will be required to
be drawn by local agents of foreign firms.

3) Seed Capital Assistance


With a view to help first generation entrepreneurs who have the skills but
lack financial resources, IDBI started seed capital assistance scheme in
September, 1976. Under the first scheme, Financial Corporations provide
seed capital assistance to projects in small scale sector from their special
class of share capital contributed by IDBI and the state government. The
maximum amount of assistance under this scheme is to meet the gap in
the equity contribution which is 20 per cent of the cost of the project or
Rs. 2 lakhs whichever, is less.

the sector, has been identified by NABARD as a thrust area. Various
initiatives have been taken to strengthen the cooperative credit structure and
the regional rural banks, so that adequate and timely credit is made available
to the needy.
In order to reinforce the credit functions and to make credit more productive,
NABARD has been undertaking a number of developmental and
promotional activities such as:-

• Help cooperative banks and Regional Rural Banks to prepare development


actions plans for them
• Enter into MoU with state governments and cooperative banks specifying
their respective obligations to improve the affairs of the banks in a stipulated
timeframe
• Help Regional Rural Banks and the sponsor banks to enter into MoUs
specifying their respective obligations to improve the affairs of the Regional
Rural Banks in a stipulated timeframe
• Monitor implementation of development action plans of banks and
fulfillment of obligations under MoUs
• Provide financial assistance to cooperatives and Regional Rural Banks for
establishment of technical, monitoring and evaluations cells

57
PROJECT ON DEVELOPMENT BANK
• Create awareness among the borrowers on ethics of repayment through
Vikas Volunteer Vahini and Farmer’s clubs
• Provide financial assistance to cooperative banks for building improved
management information system, computerization of operations and
development of human resources

Supervisory functions
As an apex bank involved in refinancing credit needs of major financial
institutions in the country engaged in offering financial assistance to
agriculture and rural development operations and programmes, NABARD
has been sharing with the Reserve Bank of India certain supervisory
functions in respect of cooperative banks and Regional Rural Banks (RRBs).

As part of these functions, it


• Undertakes inspection of Regional Rural Banks (RRBs) and cooperative
banks (other than urban/primary cooperative banks) under the provisions of
Banking Regulation Act, 1949.
• Undertakes inspection of State Cooperative Agriculture and Rural
Development Banks (SCARDBs) and apex non-credit cooperative societies
on a voluntary basis
• Provides recommendations to Reserve Bank of India on opening of new
branches by State Cooperative Banks and Regional Rural Banks (RRBs)

58
PROJECT ON DEVELOPMENT BANK

Core Functions
NABARD has been entrusted with the statutory responsibility of conducting
inspections of State Cooperative Banks (SCBs), District Central Cooperative
Banks (DCCBs) and Regional Rural Banks (RRBs) under the provision of
the Banking Regulation Act, 1949. In addition, NABARD has also been
conducting periodic inspections of state level cooperative institutions such as
State Cooperative Agriculture and Rural Development Banks (SCARDBs),
Apex Weavers Societies, Marketing Federations, etc. on a voluntary basis.

Objectives of Inspection
• To protect the interest of the present and future depositors
• To ensure that the business conducted by these banks is in conformity with
the provisions of the relevant Acts/Rules, regulations/Bye-Laws, etc
• To ensure observance of rules, guidelines, etc. formulated and issued by
NABARD/RBI/Government
• To examine the financial soundness of the banks
• To suggest ways and means for strengthening the institutions so as to
enable them to play more efficient role in rural credit
Current Focus
Under the revised strategy, a sharper focus of the NABARD’s inspection
was given on the core areas of the functioning of banks pertaining to Capital
Adequacy, Asset Quality, Management Earnings, Liquidity and Systems
Compliance (CAMELSC). Thus, NABARD’s focus in its statutory ‘on-site’
inspections is on core assessments leaving the collateral appraisals to
supplementary inspections. NABARD attempted to ensure that the other
areas, particularly relating to the internal checks and controls, revenue and

59
PROJECT ON DEVELOPMENT BANK
income realization by way of interest on loans and deposits and other routine
features of carrying out general banking transactions were suitably taken
care of by the respective banks and their concurrent/statutory audit systems.
