How Achievers Credit Co- Operative Society Limited is able to offer Higher Rate of Interest as compared to the Rate of Interest of Commercial banks/ Financial Institutions?
 
There are varieties of natural and financial reasons which help the Achievers Credit Co- Operative Society Limited in offering better Rate of Interest. A few of them are detailed below:-
  1. Income earned by the society on account of Interest on loans/ advances granted to members which contributes a major part of society’s Income is exempt from Income Tax as per section 80P of Income Tax Act. Therefore the Achievers Credit Co- Operative Society Limited is able to save huge amount which could have otherwise been paid as Tax. The Board of Directors of the society always felt that some portion of this should be passed on to the members by offering higher Rate of Interest and this is what our corporate philosophy is.
  2. C.R.R. Cash Reserve Ratio: - Banks and other financial institutions have to keep about 4 to 5 percent of their deposits in cash or with Reserve Bank of India as per R.B.I. regulations. Amount so kept does not earn any interest and reduces the banks’ capacity of lending. While The Achievers Credit Co- Operative Society Limited is exempted from this provision . Achievers Credit Co- Operative Society Limited keeps minimum cash in hand to meet the day to day requirements and therefore are in a position to lend more.
  3. S.L.R. Statutory Liquidity Ratio :- Banks have to keep the almost 25 to 30% of their deposits in different type of securities which earn them less interest as compared to the Rate of Interest prevailing in the market.
  4. Achievers Credit Co- Operative Society Limited is exempted from maintaining Cash Reserve Ratio (C.R.R.) & Statutory Liquidity Ratio. The Achievers Credit Co- Operative Society Limited has better opportunities of managing its funds and earning interest thereon which it is doing sincerely and passing on the benefits of such income to its members/ Investors by offering better rate of Interest.
  5. The Achievers Credit Co- Operative Society Limited is extending short term & medium term loans to its members. Our loans are fully secured and our recovery is hundred percent. We have no N.P.A’s in our books. On the other hand Banks’ resources are adversely affected by large scale Non Performing Assets and as a result these institutions have lesser funds at their disposal and are not able to offer good Rate of Interest to depositors.
  6. As it is evident, banks spend huge amounts in the shape of misc. exp. and establishment cost. As compared to banks and N.B.F.Cs’ our operational cost is very low and the benefit of this also is being passed on to the members in the shape of higher rate Of Interest.
