A STUDY ON COOPERATIVE AGRICULTURAL ADVANCES
CHAPTER-01
Introduction to accounting-
Introduction-
The history of accounting can be traced back to ancient times. According to some belief, the
very art of writing originated in order to record accounting information. Though this may seems
to be an exaggeration, but there is no denying the fact that accounting has a long history.
Accounting records can be traced back to the ancient civilization of china, Babylonia, Egypt etc.
Accounting was used to keep records regarding the cost of labor and materials used in building
great structure pyramid.
The government also has had lot to do with more accounting development. The income tax
brought about the concept of „income‟ government takes a host of other decisions, relating to
education, health, economic planning- for which it needs accurate and reliable information. As
such, the government demands stringent accountability in the corporate sector, which forces the
accounting process to be an objective and formal as possible.
Basically there are 3 broad classifications of accounting and they are as follows,
I. Financial accounting-
Financial accounting involves recording and classifying business transactions, and
preparing and presenting financial statements to be used by internal and external users.
In the preparation of financial statements, strict compliance with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP) is observed. Financial accounting is primarily concerned
in processing historical data.
Financial accounting is based on certain concepts and conventions, which include
separate business entity, going concern concept, accounting period concept, matching
concept, realisation concept, and conventions of conservatism, disclosure, consistency
etc.
II. Management accounting-
Managerial or management accounting focuses on providing information for use by
internal users, the management. This branch deals with the needs of the management
rather than strict compliance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Managerial accounting involves financial analysis, budgeting and forecasting, cost
analysis, evaluation of business decisions, and similar areas.
III. Cost accounting-
Sometimes considered as a subset of management accounting, cost accounting refers to
the recording, presentation, and analysis of manufacturing costs. Cost accounting is very
useful in manufacturing businesses since they have the most complicated costing process.
The basic purpose of cost accounting is to provide a detailed break up of cost of
different departments, processes, jobs, products, sales territories, etc. So that effective
cost control can be exercised.

organizations in grounding many of the interventions be it, SHG-bank linkage programme, tree-
based tribal communities, livelihood initiative, watershed approach in soil and water
conservation, increasing crop productivity initiatives trough lead crop initiative or dissemination
of information flow to agrarian communities through farmer clubs. Despite all this, it plays huge
taxes too, to the exchequer. NABARD virtually ploughs back all the profits for development

available for the farmers they are as follows-
These are the types of farm loans these loans can help to afford the cost to build an on-
farm storage facility for farmer‟s crop and products. To qualify, the commodity that farmers
are storing must fall into the categories of corn, oats, wheat, barley, rice, soya bean, oilseeds,
lentils, peas, hay, biomass, fruit, vegetables, or grain. If the farmer is qualify can obtain up to
5 lakhs in direct financing from the federal government.
It is like operating loans; ownership loans provided by FSA come in both guaranteed
and direct loan form. The limits are the same as those limit provided by the operating loan
program. This money must go directly towards the purchase of land, livestock, crop, or
machinery needed to assist in acquiring ownership of a farm meant for commercial
production. In addition to credit requirement, the farm owner must have experience in the
farming industry.
This program is designed for specific project in fishers that qualify under the direction

rural developments rural housing initiative. The program provides capital to build or replace
housing structure for rural farm workers. The program is meant to make the housing facility
more livable, and it may include the replacement or repair of furnishing inside the housing
structure. Further, this loan or grant can extend to a wide range of farming projects including
rare projects like oyster farming or fisheries.
The following are some of the problems that are faced by the banks in recovering their
advances, so they are as follows-
a. Due to continues and constant natural calamities the rate of recovery has became poor for
the banks.
b. Lack of infrastructure in societies such as building, technical infrastructure, funds, staff,
computer facilities.
c. Lack of staff members in the society it has been observed that some societies are facing
the problems of lack of staff members.
d. Societies are not able to go to the field in sanctioning the loans in or to check the proper
utilisation of loans and advances.
e. Interference of political persons, local leader and higher officers in government while
giving loans and advances to farmers and also in recovery of loans and advances.
f. The deposited mobilisation by the PAC‟s show that the deposits of selected PAC‟s are
very low and insignificant. Therefore most of the PAC‟s at present they dependent on
funds provided by the DCC in the district.
g. Due to lack of capital.
h. Due to low level of recovery of loans and advances.
i. Lack of credit facilities to a large segment of rural population, particularly the poor.
Those need to be addressed. The formal banking system in the country services, 25.9% of
rural households while 14% farmers households depends on money lenders for their

credit facilities.
The following are the suggestions that are given for the farmers to reduce their problems
of recovering loans and advances from the farmers they are as follows-

loans and advances are required to maintain asset quality at the branches.
v. The cooperative laws of the state most facilitate the cooperative to functions as member‟s

managements.
Farmers problems focus attentions on the inherent weakness of the financial institutions. It
is true that adequate and timely supply of credit is the one of the essential condition for
improving agricultural practices and prompt repayment of loans and advances.
The primary need of the farmers is timely supply of credit in agriculture. Needless to
emphasis the importance of credit in agriculture. It is sine quonam with agriculture. Various
ways and means have been identified to provide credit to farming communities. Cooperative
banks are important sources of agricultural credit to the farmers. These banks willingly or
unwillingly come forward to finance agriculture. These institutions charge lower rate of interest
compare to commercial banks. Cooperatives societies are basically commercially oriented and
profit making institutions.
There are some of the problems that are facing by the farmers for paying the loan amount,
they are-
Problems of farmers focus on attention on the inherent weakness of the adequate and
timely supply of credit is one of the essential conditions for improving agricultural practices. The
lending institutions should process credit applicant on in such a way that the purpose of the
borrowers in fully fulfilled in time. Procedural delay hampers the planning of the cultivation.
Suggestions from the farmers for banks regarding to loans and advances-
Banks or societies should fix a price for agricultural products and purchase it.
-Loans and advances should be increased for agricultural produces.
Effective supervision should be there over the utilisation of loan amount
Banks should have a practice of issuing crop loan in cash and in kinds such as fertilizers
and seeds.
Income enhancing programmes should be implemented in the villages.
Banks or societies must have good contacts with the farmers especially with small and
the marginal farmers.
To reduce transaction cost

Home loans, also known as mortgages, use the borrower's home for collateral. This home

unit. Lenders fund home loans, but both the lenders themselves and brokers who act on behalf of
the lenders originate, or process, them.

the agreement that makes your home loan work -- the bank wouldn't lend you hundreds of
thousands of dollars unless they knew they could claim your home in the event of your default.

deferred while in school and for a six-month grace period after graduation. Sallie Mae is the

CHAPTER-03
Research gap-
Review of Literature-
A literature review is more than the research for information, and goes beyond being a
descriptive annotated bibliography. All works included in the review must be read, evaluated and
analyzed.
DEO (1976)
In his study on problems of agricultural credit allocation, emphasized that the problem of
credit allocation in agriculture was immense and required adequate attention. He has suggested
that the financial experts, social scientists and team of bank personnel have to work together and
have to make micro level planning for expansion of credit.
SINGH (1976)
a case study on distribution and utilization of co-operative credit in Luck now district.
Regarding the amount of loan advanced to the farmers of different size groups, it was observed
that a major share of total advance went to large farmers. This study further shows that the large
size farmers utilized their borrowed money o greater extent for productive purpose as compared
to small farmers.
Reference- Singh G.N, „Distribution and utilization of cooperative advances‟, India cooperative
review 1976, 13(4) pp 397-411.
PANDEY (1977)
In his study found that loans were issued mostly without keeping in the mind repayment
capacity of the borrowers and were not properly supervised by the co-operative supervisors‟
resulting in the diversion of the loans for unproductive purpose and accumulation of over dues.
Reference- Pandey U.K, „Socio economic factor affecting the overdue of advances‟, Indian
cooperative review 1977, 14(1), pp 141-150.
BHATIA (1978)
In his study titled, “Banking structure and performance – A case study of in Indian
Banking system” attempted to analyze the economic performance of Indian banking system as
reflected by its output, price and profitability during the period 1950-68. He found that profit of
the Indian banking system during the said period had an upward trend. The study suggested
deregulation of interest rates to enhance the profitability of financial institutions and to ensure a
competitive banking environment which would ultimately result in better services.

Analyzing the pattern of credit distribution and over dues, have found that there was
inverse relationship between the over dues and credit advanced to different farm categories. They
have further found that most of the small farmers were non-willful defaulters whereas most of
the medium and large farmers were willful defaulters. They have suggested that in order to
reduce the overdue of small farmers, their income should be increased through additional
investment by way of adoption of improved method of cultivation while the overdue of large
farm could be reduced by taking traction against them.
Have found that 78.18 percent of the total co-operative credit was utilized for productive and the
rest 21.82 percent for unproductive purposes. The credit utilization on unproductive purpose
decreased with the increase in farm size which indicated that large cultivators utilized the highest
percentage of credit for productive purposes.

in palghat district in Kerala reported that 52 percent of the loan amount was advanced in kind
(mainly fertilizer) and the balance in cash. An inverse relationship was found between the
amount of loan per hectare, on one hand and size of holding on the other; the smaller holdings
obtained relatively more amount of credit than larger holdings.

CHAPTER-05
Findings-
On the analysis of financial statement of Rythara Seva Sahakara Sangha Niyamitha for the year
from 2013 to 2017 it is analyzed or recorded as follows-
The loans on deposits have been decreased from one year to another year this shows that
popularity of bank is coming down and there is no proper stability of bank finance.
The coordination between members of the bank and the organization is good. Which
helps for smooth functioning of the organization.
It can also be seen that there is a fluctuation in liquidity position of the bank or the
society.
Earnings per share of the bank or organisaton have been increased from one year to
another year.
The banks have several scheme of advancing more to the small scale industries. However
the producer to advancing more to small scale industries very complicated, time
consuming and also it is a lengthy procedure.
The banks have been increased the loan amount from one year to another, which is
understood that there is a high financial transactions in the bank.
The net profit in the year 2016 and 2017 has been increased which tells about stabilized
bank activity.
Suggestions-
A bank must improve their methods of collecting bills receivable from their debtors.
Fixed assets which are used by the bank for a longer period of time should charge less
depreciation in order increase the value of fixed assets.
Bank should maintain the positive growth in the aspects in future, which also helps for
future growth.
Bank should continue to maintain its overall profitability positions in order to retain their
current investors and to attract potential investors.
Bank should also utilize cash resources to the extent so that has to avoid trading or over
trading.
The bank should achieve their targets by utilizing both current assets as well as current
liabilities.
RSSSN bank should plan to introduce new schemes for attracting customers and for
satisfying present one.
Conclusion-
The bank or the society on the whole enjoys high liquidity and long term solvency. It is
able to meet the short term obligations in time, and the bank is able to manage its day to day
operations as well. The efficiency in utilizing the working capital is also good. The realization of
debtors is also high in the bank. The fixed assets are utilized well in the bank. There was a
constant fluctuation in the level of current assets and current liabilities.
The bank is able to maintain its standard of current assets and current liabilities and can
maintain the liquidity position of the society. The conclusion that can be drawn is company has
strength of meeting the maturing current liabilities.
Learning outcome-
The research made on cooperative agricultural advances at rsssn has helped me to know
about different types of loans and advances that bank offers to the customer, I also understood
about the procedure of granting loans and advances. it made me to know about interest rates that
bank will take with the borrowers. Rsssn bank provides low rate of interest to the farmers which
help them to borrow loan and repay it back.
