The new products introduced have covered various requirements of the customers. The Bank introduced Housing Loans, SHG Loans, JLG Loans, Mortgage Loans, Personal Loans, Petty Trader Loans, Education Loans, Vehicle Loans, Business Loans, to mention a few, reads a press note sent by the bank CEO Ch. Chinna Rao.
Later on, talking to Indian Cooperative Rao said, “In 2020-21 FY, the bank business mix was Rs 1130 crore and earned a net profit of Rs 6.13 crore. At present the bank has a network of 27 branches and net NPA is below 4 percent”, he informed.
The area of operation of Warangal DC Bank extends to the entire erstwhile Warangal District covering an area of 12846 sq K.Ms. The bank in order to extend financial support crop loans has authorized the branch managers to sanction loans at the branch level which were hitherto sanctioned by Head Office at Hanamkonda compelling the farmers to submit loan applications at Head Office.
This has helped the farmers avoid visiting Head Office at Hanamkonda as well as made it possible for them to seek financial support at their nearest Branch, Rao underlined.
The main aim of the DCC Bank is to closely monitor the end use of the loan for the creation of assets and repayment of the loan through the income generated from the asset, the press release concludes.
