Distressed with the dishonest acts of some of the selfish managements of the cooperative urban banks resulting in the dwindling trust in the cooperative system and moved by the agony of the duped share holders, depositors and customers of UCBs and driven by strong desire, dedication and determination for saving the cooperative banking model for socio-economic growth, the Telangana State Cooperative Urban Banks Federation Ltd. was organised and came into being from 27th December 2002.

The objectives of the Federation include to:

Provide a Common Forum to the member-banks to examine the problems of Cooperative Credit, Banking and allied matters and evolve suitable strategies to deal with them.

Encourage cooperation, mutual assistance and self help from among the member UCBs in order to meet temporary financial crisis of the member-banks.

Advise the member banks on financial management, business development, personal management and devise and undertake necessary training programmes for the directors, members and employees of the member banks.

Prepare and publish training manuals, business manuals, regulatory manuals, news bulletins etc.

Arrange to prescribe audit standards and to empanel chartered accountants to undertake audit of the member-banks and to devise reporting systems in order to detect early symptoms of weakness/sickness/failure.

Undertake and evolve a system and machinery to take up the rating of the member-banks on the lines of reputed organisations like CRISIL, APPLE etc. in order to make the credit worthiness of a member bank known to the depositors, borrowers and members.

Provide assistance for selection of professionals to manage member banks.

Provide consultancy, undertake market survey and feasibility guidance to the member-banks who desire to start branches or to the persons who desire to start a cooperative urban bank afresh.

Undertake relevant research studies in credit and banking from time to time and suggest appropriate strategies.

Organise conferences/seminars/workshops to share the views of common interest with a view to contributing for better policy decisions.

Take up campaign to re-establish credibility of the cooperative banking sector in general and cooperative urban banks in particular and to counter the adverse propaganda, and

Take up other activities which are incidental and conducive to the fulfilment of the above objectives including affiliation to National and International Cooperative and Banking Federations and Cooperative Unions.
