“We have given a 15 percent dividend extra to our shareholders on the completion of 100 years, which has been remitted to their account soon after the AGM proceedings. And the regular 15 percent will be transferred in a couple of days”, said euphoric Mukesh Dalal, President of the bank.
He further added that the performance of the bank during the said year was satisfactory but we are aiming to come on the top in the list of Urban Cooperative Banks in the state. For this, we are looking forward to the expansion of branches and the merger of weaker banks with our bank.
