NDCC administrator: Focus on recovery & transparency
Nashik: With a clear mandate to revitalize the Nashik District Central Cooperative (NDCC) bank, newly appointed administrator Santosh Bidwai wasted no time in outlining his strategy, prioritizing loan recovery from defaulters and signalling the imminent auctioning of properties. Bidwai, who also serves as the divisional deputy registrar, has been entrusted by state govt with the responsibility of revitalizing the bank. His appointment follows the resignation of the previous administrator Pratapsinh Chavan. Bidwai is expected to spearhead efforts to restore the bank's financial health and reputation. "I will engage with both loan defaulters and investors to assure that the process would be conducted transparently, in the interest of the bank and its investors," he said. He also emphasised the importance of conducting the recovery process by implementing necessary measures in the coming month and seeking the required permissions for property auctions to recover outstanding money from defaulters. "This approach aims to boost investor confidence and attract more investment, which will help the rotation of money in the bank. The bank will get business, thus earn some money and help retain the banking licence that is now at the mercy of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) following an outstanding of over Rs2,200 crore," said Bidwai.

The bank will also follow up with state govt for the share capital it requires to function properly," he said. Bidwai said his target was the circulation of funds in the bank and added that he was confident that investors and defaulters would cooperate.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Commissioner of cooperatives Deepak Taware said, "We have received the resignation letter, but it has not been accepted as of now." Taware did not divulge the contents of the resignation letter, while Chavan refused to comment on it. According to a senior officer from the bank, the administrator expressed his inability to carry forward the process of recovery. The bank has 80% of the outstanding Rs 2,200 crore with the farmers and political intervention has delayed the recovery, further threatening the existence of the bank. "The administrator recently visited my office when we discussed the recovery. He expressed his inability to continue as the administrator. As of now, he has tendered his resignation, which has still not been accepted. Having said that, we are looking for his replacement," Taware said. In the resignation letter, sources said the administrator clearly marked his annoyance with the developments. "At the last AGM of the bank, held at Dadasaheb Gaikwad Sabhagriha, the administrator emotionally appealed to the concerned to contribute to the recovery and ensure that this was not the last AGM of the bank. Non-recovery would lead to strong action by RBI, which could strip the bank of its banking licence," the source said. "The resignation cites temporary stay on the recovery drive for three weeks during a meeting held at the district collectorate in Nashik, recently announced by agriculture minister Manikrao Kokate. This was followed by possible changes in the new one-time settlement scheme, where interest rates were likely to be lowered, creating more hurdles for the recovery and increasing the losses," said a senior officer of the bank.
