The
beginning of this ' Bank ' has been quite humble. A well known
personality from Kurundwad, Shri. Amrutlal Shah, established this
institute in its humble form as a Credit Society named Parshwanath
Nagari Sahakari Pat Sanstha, to carryout a sense of Social obligation,
on August 24, 1983. On its inception the society had 500 members
with a share capital of Rs. 0.05 million. The credit society proved
quite successful and had members with a share capital of Rs.5.2
million, by early 1998 .
The
society had very commendable achievements in that its total deposits
had soared to Rs.340 million with a share capital of Rs.5.9 million.
In fact the society had functioned so well and admirably that
it always received class "A " Audit Certificate. The
society's unalloyed success has found its reflection in the dividend
rates of 20% paid to the members since from 1987 to 1997.
The
Reserve Bank of India granted the permission to Parshwanath Co-operative
Credit Society to convert itself into Parshwanath Co-operative
Bank Ltd. from 2nd February 1998. The total deposits of the bank
as on today are Rs.1085 million, Loans of Rs.743 million, Share
capital of Rs.32 million and Reserve Fund of Rs. 65 million. The
membership of the bank has also crept up, albeit slowly, to reach
the 3241 mark.
