THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE (SHRI PANKAJ CHAUDHARY)

(a) to (e): Cooperative banks are inherently cooperative societies which are registered under the  Cooperative Societies Act of the State concerned or under the Multi-State Cooperative Societies Act, 2002. When cooperative societies carry on the business of banking, they come under the regulatory purview of RBI and they are licensed under the provisions of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 (as applicable to cooperative societies).

As informed by RBI and NABARD, the number of cooperative banks and cooperative societies in the country are as under:

- i) State Cooperative Banks (StCBs)- 34
2. ii) District Central Cooperative Banks (DCCBs) - 352
3. iii) Urban Cooperative Banks (UCBs) - 1465
4. (iv) Cooperative Societies - 8,21,605

The State-wise details of cooperative societies, StCBs and DCCBs are given at Annexure I . All  the  cooperative  banks  under  the  supervision  of  NABARD  have  been  digitized  and  are functional on Core Banking Solution (CBS) platform.

The details of funds allocated by the Government for Computerization of Primary Agricultural Cooperative Credit Societies during last three years are at Annexure II and details of financial assistance  disbursed  by  National  Cooperative  Development  Corporation  (NCDC)  for  the development of cooperatives societies including cooperative banks during the last three years are given at Annexure III .
