THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE AND COMPANY AFFAIRS (SHRI ANANDRAO VITHOBA ADSUL):

(a) and (b) Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has reported that as on date there is no proposal pending for setting up new State Cooperative Bank/Central Cooperative Bank. However, there are 221 proposals for setting up of new urban cooperative banks pending with RBI. The reasons for delay in disposal of pending proposals are submission of incomplete proposals by the promoters, delay in receipt of clarifications sought by RBI and delay in receipt of information from promoters` bankers/ employers/ other agencies. Decision on a pending proposal is taken only on receipt of all the required information.
