Chairman, SLBC was happy that the State has achieved 104% of the Annual Credit Plan up to the third quarter of 2014-15. He appreciated the bankers for this achievement and listed the performance highlights of banks in Tamil Nadu during April December 2014. 1. CD ratio of the State continues to be above 100 percent. The present level is 121.40%. 2. Deposits have increased (year on year) by 7.65 percent. 3. Credit increased (year on year) by 8.66 percent. 4. Priority Credit stands at 42.11 percent. 5.

He further informed that achievement under Farm Sector was 107%, 97% under MSE, 89%, 94% and 105% under Education, Housing and Others respectively. 2

1. Agriculture Chairman, SLBC informed the forum that the State has achieved 107% of the proportionate target under Annual Credit Plan upto December 2014 under Agriculture for the year 2014-15. He also advised the bankers to improve investment credit, which alone provides sustainable income to the farmer s household even during dry seasons. He also requested Agriculture, Horticulture, Animal Husbandry & Fisheries Departments of Government of Tamil Nadu to guide the bankers in identifying newer profitable investment projects, suitable to their area and guide the farmers to take up such projects. Chairman, SLBC also informed the forum that RBI has recently issued instructions to all banks to revisit their claims under interest subvention for agricultural loans. The time frame given to Public Sector Banks is up to May 2015 and up to April 2015 for Private sector banks. 2. Financial Inclusion :- Chairman, SLBC appreciated the performance of the banks under Pradhan Mantri Jan-Dhan Yojana scheme. He advised the member banks to issue RUPAY cards to all the PMJDY account holders without delay, to enable them to get the benefits thereon. Chairman, SLBC advised the member banks to cover all the 9943 urban wards allocated to them by engaging Business Correspondents. He informed the forum that IBA has recently launched a programme on Capacity Building of Business Correspondents through which 2.50 lakh BCs in the country would be trained as per the training module developed by IIBF. 3. Educational Loans:- Chairman, SLBC informed the forum that banks in the state have achieved 91.84 percent by amount and 93.12 percent by no of accounts as of December 3

2014 against the target set by Government of India. He also informed that rising level of NPAs under Educational loan is causing concern. Chairman SLBC acknowledged the support extended to SLBC by RBI, Government of India, Government of Tamil Nadu & NABARD in implementation of various developmental schemes in the state. Keynote Address:- Shri.K.Shanmugam, I.A.S., Principal Secretary (Finance) Government of Tamil Nadu observed the following in his keynote address:- 1. Over a period of time Financial Inclusion has transformed into a well organised, ongoing scheme. Under the recently launched Pradhan Mantri Jan- Dhan Yojana the people are not only provided with bank accounts but are also provided with add on facilities like overdraft, insurance etc. 2. Tamil Nadu has been doing very well under the scheme and banks can always take the help of District Collectors to cover any uncovered households/ pensioners/weaker sections etc. 3. It is heartening to note that Banks in Tamil Nadu have excelled in Crop Loan disbursements. However more focus should be given to investment Credit under Agriculture. 4. The State Government is giving stress on the supply chain management, particularly under horticultural crops. 5. The farmers would be benefited if facilities like linkages, produce collection/ processing centres, grading yard, marketing facilities and cold storages are provided instead of mere sanction of crop loans. 6. State Government is in the process of formulating some schemes in coordination with NABARD especially for horticultural crops. In the coming year, the schemes will be implemented in some select districts of the state. 7. The Banks also should take some pro active measures and formulate such schemes with the help of consultants if necessary to help the farmers. 4

8. Animal Husbandry is also a promising area which helps the farmers to earn regular income. Schemes like Mini Dairy, Poultry in non traditional areas, fisheries (both inland and marine) will definitely throw lot of promises for the farming community. 9. Unlike the earlier Financial Inclusion initiatives, the present scheme offers comprehensive package of bank account, life insurance, accident insurance, overdraft facility etc., which is a unique feature. Special Address: Shri. Anandrao Vishnu Patil, I.A.S., Director, Department of Financial Services, Ministry of Finance, Government of India in his special address observed the following:- 1. The bankers in Tamil Nadu have achieved various milestones with the help of Government of Tamil Nadu. 2. Very good progress has been made under Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana. However the accounts should be made active and the facilities like overdraft should be made available to the eligible people. 3. SLBC should take up Financial Literacy Campaign in a big way in the State during the coming year. The 57 lakh customers who have opened accounts under PMJDY should be given adequate financial literacy to enable them to make use of add-on facilities of the scheme. 4. The FLC campaign should be done on a mission mode to reach the people in a way that an account holder gets at least one session. The SLBC should plan the campaign with member banks. 5. There appears to be some delay in distribution of RuPay cards in case of some banks. All banks should gear up to complete issue of RuPay cards to all the account holders and the cards issued are to be activated without fail. 6. The insurance claims are to be properly attended to and the customers are to be helped in this regard. 7. The performance of banks in Tamil Nadu is very much appreciable when compared to many other states. CD ratio is well over 100%. Priority Sector 5

Advances, Agricultural Advances, Advances to weaker sections are all above the national norms. 8. The AADHAAR seeding in the state is only 28 %. This is to be improved considerably. 9. Nearly 12000 weavers credit card applications are pending, majority of them with 4 lead banks. The pending applications are to be attended to immediately. 10. Applications pending with banks under NRLM, TAHDCO are also to be attended immediately. 11. Performance of Allahabad Bank, Bank of Baroda, Bank of Maharashtra and State Bank of India under educational loans is not up to the mark. 12. Performance of Punjab National Bank, Oriental Bank of Commerce and Dena Bank under MSE sector is not up to the mark 13. Government of India, RBI and all banks jointly convened the Gyan Sangam in January 2015. Special Address:- Dr. J.Sadakadulla, Regional Director, Reserve Bank of India in his special address observed the following:- 1. The monetary policy was released immediately after the budget and the policy rates have been reduced further and stands at 7.5 % 2. On 20 th of February, 2015, an agreement was signed between RBI and Government of India to formalise the agreement for inflation targeting. This will come to effect immediately. The inflation rate has to be brought down to 6 % by January 2016. 3. To mark the celebration of 80 th year of Reserve Bank of India, a meeting is convened on Financial Inclusion on 2 nd April, 2015 at Mumbai to be chaired by the Hon ble Prime Minister. 4. The State is in a very good position in respect of CD ratio, Credit disbursement under Annual Credit Plan, Agriculture etc. 5. The State has more than 9000 bank branches and has sizeable number of Business Correspondents engaged by the Banks in the State. There should 6

be a fixed point of contact between the BCs of few villages and the base branch. 6. In the budget, lot of announcements have been made in support of Small and Medium Enterprises. A bank called Mudra was announced which will provide refinance and bills facilities for SMEs for quick realisation of their funds. 7. The NPA level is going up in the SHG portfolio. When compared to the previous meetings, the level has gone up further. CGM, NABARD is requested to go into the details of this issue. A sample study has already been conducted by SLBC and the findings are not encouraging. Our state should not face the same problem faced by other states like Andhra Pradesh. 8. Recently Karur Vysya Bank and TamilNad Mercantile Bank have taken the responsibility of currency management in Karur and Thoothukudi districts respectively. This will fulfil the requirements of the traders and others in the district. Similarly the BCs may be given the responsibility of distribution of currency and coins for the easy reach of the public. 9. The BC model should be carried beyond the pilot and experimental stage as there is no restriction on the roles played by them on behalf of the bank. It is purely between the BCs and the banks to decide as to what they should do. This will enhance the income earned by the BCs which will stabilise them. Special Address:- Shri K.Venkateswara Rao, Chief General Manager, NA BARD, Chennai in his special address observed the following:- 1. It is heartening to note that the banks have achieved 104 % of the ACP target. 2. The State focus paper for the year 2015-16 was launched on 04.02.2015. It indicates a growth rate of about 15 % in the overall plan, and about 20 % in the term lending plan when compared to last year. 3. The emphasis is on the term lending plan as Government of India instructed that 30-35 % of the agricultural loans should go to investment credit. 7

4. Keeping in view of the above requirement NABARD, Regional Office Chennai has prepared certain area development schemes under Animal Husbandry, Horticulture and others. The scheme details which have been circulated among the banks already should be further circulated upto branch level so that the desired results can be achieved. 5. In the present budget, the long term refinance credit fund has been enhanced from Rs. 5000 Crores to Rs. 15000 Crores, so that more refinance would be available for RRBs and also for the State Co-operative Banks. 6. As per the guidelines of the Reserve Bank of India, the controlling offices of the banks should approve the branch credit plans by the month of February so that it can find a place in the District Credit Plan. However in some of the districts, the plans approved by the controlling offices have not reached the branches so far. 7. An announcement has been made in the budget regarding Farmers Producer Companies. A fund has been created in NABARD with an outlay of Rs.2000 Crores for this purpose. In Tamil Nadu, 90 Farmer s Producer Companies are to be promoted during this year as per the target. NABARD has received so far 120 proposals from the various FPO promoting organisations for various crops. 8. The member banks are requested to ensure that the credit requirements of these Farmer s Producer Companies are taken care. 9. Tamil Nadu has been allotted with a target of about 60000 Joint Liability Groups.
