History

TNSC Bank was formed in the year in which the coop. movement of Tamil Nadu was formed.[6] As such, the Bank has been serving the people of Tamil Nadu for a centenary for their economic development. As far as Indian coop. movement is concerned, the Bank has commenced its business from the very next year of the formation of coop. movement in India. The Tamil Nadu State Apex Co-operative Bank Ltd., commenced its business during November 1905 as an Urban Coop. Bank. It was subsequently changed into a District Central Coop. Bank during July 1920.

During 1930-1931, the Bank embarked on a scheme for rectification and consolidation of Primary Societies through the Central Coop. Banks, in view of the heavy overdues in the societies and the deterioration in the working of many of them.[7] During the first 25 years of working, this Bank had lent to primary societies and Central Coop. Banks a sum over Rs.5.50 crores. The Government of Tamil Nadu became a shareholder of the Bank on 27.3.1957 and were represented on the Board of Management of the Bank, pursuant to the recommendations of the All India Rural Credit Survey Committee of the Reserve Bank of India. Consequent on the renaming of our State as Tamil Nadu in the year 1970, the name of our Bank was also changed as “The Tamil Nadu State Co-operative Bank Ltd.”[8]

At the instance of NCDC, TNSC Bank has opened a Training Institute in a rental building at Adyar during the year 1989.[9]
