1.1:Company profile of the organization
The Jammu & Kashmir Bank is today one of the fastest growing banks in India with a network of
more than 500 branches/offices spread across the country offering world class banking
products/services to its customers. Today, the Bank has a status of value driven organization and
is always working towards building trust with Shareholders, Employees, Customers, Borrowers,
Regulators and other diverse Stakeholders, for which it has adopted a strategy directed to
developing a sound foundation of relationship and trust aimed at achieving excellence, which of
course, comes from the womb of good Corporate Governance. Good Governance is a source of
competitive advantage and a critical input for achieving excellence in all pursuits. J&K Bank
considers good Corporate Governance as the sine qua non of a good banking system and has
adopted a policy based on all the four pillars of good governance transparency, disclosures,
accountability and value, enabling it to practice trusteeship, transparency, fairness and control,
leading to stakeholders delight, enhanced shareholder value and ethical corporate citizenship. It

ensuring to meet shareholders aspirations and societal expectations following the principles of

Only on domestic front but also for the foreign exchange earnings .The bank disbursed advances
to the tune of Rs.5.76Lakh in first year Entire banking in the state of Jammu and Kashmir was
performed by traditional lenders till 1920 -30 and that too at exorbitant interest rates .At the same
time some banks functioned at a very limited scale, such as Punjab National Bank Limited,
The role of these banks was reduced to the acceptance of deposits, as they could not grant loans
and advances to the people of the state owing to the statutory limitations. Under this scenario
15
banks could not ameliorate the financial and social position of the people of the state. To
overcome this critical situation then Maharaja of the state conceived an idea of setting up of a
state bank in the state. After a prolonged exercise and deliberations the assignment
for establishment of " The Jammu and Kashmir Bank Limited " was given to the late Sir Sorabji
Bank with participation in capital by state and the public under the control of state Government.
Thus the bank was formally incorporated on the Ist of October 1938 and commenced business
from 4th of July 1939 at its Registered Office Residency Road Srinagar, Kashmir.
The Jammu & Kashmir Bank Limited has been the first of its nature and composition as a State
owned bank in the country .The state Govt. besides contributing half of the issued capital also
appointed it as its bankers for general banking and treasury business .In its formative years, the
bank had to encounter several serious problems, particularly around the time of independence,
when out of its total of ten branches two branches of Muzaffarabad and Mirpur fell to the other
side of the line of control(now Pak Administered Kashmir) along with cash and other assets in
1947. However the State Govt. came to its rescue with the assistance of Rs.6.00 Lacs to meet the
claims however the bank stead fastily over came its difficulties and kept growing.
Following the extension of Central laws to the state of Jammu & Kashmir, the bank was defined
as a govt. company as per the provisions of Indian companies act 1956. The bank had its first full
time chairman in 1971, following social Central measures in banks. The year 1971 was a turning
point for the bank on conferment of scheduled bank status and witnessed remarkable progress in
all the vital fields of operations .The bank was declared as "A" Class Bank by Reserve Bank of
India in 1976. In recognition of dominant role and exalted performance, Reserve bank of India
appointed the bank as its agent for performing the general banking business of the Central Govt.
especially in maintaining currency chests and collection of taxes. The landmark achievements of
the bank in some important fields of operation since its inception to March 2011 are detailed
below:

Corporate Social Responsibility:
The Bank has also achieved the distinction of winning the Runner up trophy at prestigious Asian
Corporate Social Responsibility Forum recently. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is truly
embedded in the Bank's day-to-day business, policy and strategy and addresses all stakeholders.
CSR is not just an add-on' or a one time only subject, but is integrated into the organization's
management practices. The Board of Directors and Management of the Bank are fully aware of
Bank's Corporate Responsibility as a corporate citizen and are actively involved and committed
towards their corporate obligations towards all the stakeholders. The Bank follows the concept
that excellence in CSR is exceeding the minimum regulatory framework in which the
organization operates and to strive to understand and respond to the expectations of their
stakeholders in society. The CSR policy of our Bank involves meeting the needs of all
stakeholders and not just shareholders against some form of ethical basis. The Bank is committed
to the best and transparent corporate governance practices. It believes that proper corporate
governance practices lead to effective management and control of business, which in turn
The Bank's CSR is rooted in its Corporate Governance philosophy, which in turn is woven
around Bank's commitment to ethical practices in the conduct of its business, while striving in the
constant quest to grow with profits and enhance shareholders value and align interests of the
shareholders, stakeholders and society through adoption of best international practices and
standards. Managing CSR is not viewed as an extra cost or burden but is viewed not only as
making good business sense but also contributing to the long-term prosperity of our Bank and
ultimately its survival. Being a good neighbour and showing that you care on the one hand and
being a successful business on the other, are flip sides of the same coin.

in, or are affected by, its operation. The Bank, in addition to playing its role in economic
development of the state and country, also contributes significantly towards social cause. The
