Draft Final Report of the Task Force on Revival of Cooperative Credit Institutions

4.41 The amount required for taking the CRAR of cooperative institutions to a minimum of 7%, can only be arrived at after the recapitalised balance sheets are available. In the light of the fact that the system has an inherent linking of share capital contribution to loans and that the accumulated losses of the system would have been wiped out at the end of the cleansing process, the amount required is not expected to be large.

Retirement of Government Share Capital

4.42 As at the end of March 2003, the contribution of State Governments to the share capital of CCS institutions aggregated Rs 1,243 crore, as shown below:

Share capital contribution by State Governments (Rs. crore)
Agency Amount
PACS 619
DCCBs 521
SCBs 103
TOTAL 1,243

4.43 Elsewhere in the report, the Task Force has recommended that "the time has now come for cooperative credit institutions to return the equity received by them from the State Governments over time. To facilitate this process, which constitutes an important cornerstone of its recommendations, the Task Force recommends that soft loan support be provided to institutions which do not have the wherewithal to return State Government equity".

4.44 The Task Force hopes that the CCS institutions at different levels will understand the justification for and implications of the recommendations made by it, and find the resources for returning State Government equity. However, a sum of Rs 1,243 core has been factored in, as part of the recapitalisation, as soft loan assistance to CCS units, just in case they are unable to do so.
