All of our branches and BC offices are now equipped with state of the art Cash Deposit Machines (CDMs). The CDMs accept cash deposits into accounts, generate computerized receipts for the same, accept cheques for collection and are ATM also. Thus, our customers are now able to deposit their cash and cheques even after the branches are closed in the evening. The Bank has generated a lot of goodwill among its constituents for bringing in this technological advancement in its services. Net worth of the Bank has crossed Rs. 50 crore this year and this is going to help the bank in many important ways viz. a viz. Reserve Bank of India who would now be granting permission to us for many services which were not permitted till now. In terms of Net Profit (Profit before tax / after tax), the Bank has registered the most spectacular

performance. While last year, our profit before tax was 312.04 lacs, this time we have posted 755.61 lacs - more than 100% growth in a year! With a view to manage widely spaced branches and offices in Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh and to assist them in their functioning, the bank is looking forward to open a Regional office at Noida. The bank has successfully launched its debit card service so that now our ATM cards can also be used for shopping across 9.53 lac merchant establishments across India. Besides Gold Loan Scheme which is running successfully, we have also come up with a scheme to provide financial assistance upto Rs. 10 lacs to retail traders. The scheme targets those very small retailers in villages, suburbs, urban areas and even in metro cities who, not being able to furnish proper balance sheet / profit and loss account / income tax return, are not entertained by other banks and have to seek loan from private money lenders. The scheme has picked up very well in all its variants. Bank's microfinance portfolio is continually expanding in terms of number of beneficiaries, amount of finance and Immediate Plans also in terms of geographical area. Now our branches in Mobile Banking Saharanpur, Meerut, Noida and Dhar are engaged in this E-Commerce top-priority scheme of Reserve Bank of India with Tablet Banking excellent results.

The Bank has been looking for a better CBS software in view of certain constraints being experienced in earlier software. A new, much more capable and secured CBS application has been installed in the bank enabling us to move ahead to pursue our ambitious plans. Our Capital Adequacy Ratio has crossed 16% which reflects nicely on our core financial strength. In view of very comfortable and ever increasing capital base at our end and to help the borrowers in

arranging funds for mandatory contribution of capital at the time of taking loans, bank has done away with the requirement of 2.5% share capital. In its place, slabs have been fixed on the basis of quantum of finance. Gross NPA has stood at 1.5% this year and the bank is following up vigorously to bring the NPA to a NIL position. The CEO is personally monitoring the recovery position on weekly basis. We are proposing the dividend @ 12% this year also which is quite attractive in present scenario. This reflects favourably on the health and profitability of the bank because before paying 12% dividend, we are also required to pay income tax @30% app. Before I conclude, I must convey my sincere thanks to all the share holders, the Board of Directors, all employees of the Bank because without their utmost cooperation and untiring efforts, the success would not have been achieved. I wish to take the opportunity to thank all the clients and customers of the bank. Ultimately, it is they who make a business enterprise successful or otherwise. I hope that the same kind of support, cooperation and guidance would continue in future also. Thanks to all of you once again. With warm regards and best compliments,

Sd/- (Yashvir Kumar Gupta) Chairman

11 A Bank for Your Welfare

As is evident from the above, business of the bank continued to grow in its 16th year of functioning as well. We had fixed for ourselves some ambitious targets for the just concluded financial year and we have been able to reach / nearly reach those targets. In some cases, as in profits, we surpassed our own target with considerable margin. DEPOSITS We have garnered deposits to the tune of 398.85 crore against the target of 400 crore. Thus, the growth achieved over the previous year is 25.24%. LOANS AND ADVANCES In this year, our thrust has been on small loans (gold loans, loans to retail traders, vehicle loans, loans to SHGs etc.) and not on big loans. The figure at the end of the year stood at 283.96 crore showing an increase of 29.03%. However, we have been able to penetrate deeper and wider among our customer base with small loans. PRIORITY SECTOR ADVANCES This is exactly where our major thrust has been and therefore funds have been invested to make lives of small customers better as per national priorities. While in the previous year, our loans and advances to this sector were 89.11 crore, the figure of this year stands at 191.97 crore registering a growth of 115.43%. Likewise, the share of priority sector advances to total advances has gone up from 61.37% to 87.23%. FINANCIAL INCLUSION Even among the priority sector, we have been trying to reach out to the most neglected sector in our nation's economy - the people living below poverty line. We are proactively encouraging our branches to increase microfinance portfolio at Saharanpur, Meerut, Noida and Dhar districts. Total 5500 SHG groups had already been formed as on 31st March, 2014. Since a group consists of 14 or 15 families on an average, the number of BPL families getting benefits from the bank may very well exceed 80,000! Out of 5500 groups formed, the bank had extended credit facility to 3114 groups as on 31st March, 2014 with the outstanding amount of more than Rs. 21 crore. SHARE CAPITAL Over the year, Bank's share capital has grown from last year's Rs. 2236.64 lacs to Rs. 4133.24 lacs growing @ 84.80%. This also explains why we are very comfortably placed from the view point of CRAR which against stipulated 9% as per RBI norms, our CRAR figure stands at 16.15%.

12 A Bank for Your Welfare

PROFIT & INCOME TAX Net profit (after tax) for the year is Rs. 522.01 lacs compared to last year's 217.12 lacs. Thus, a growth of 140.42% has been achieved. AUDIT AND INSPECTIONS Statutory Audit The statutory auditors M/s. G.P. Gupta & Co., Charterted Accountants have been quite appreciative of the functioning of our Bank and have gone to the extent of saying that they have found our systems and procedures much better compared to other cooperative banks audited by them. Concurrent / Internal Audit In compliance of the instructions of RBI, all large branches of the bank having business of more than 50 crore are subject to concurrent audit by retired senior bankers from various public sector banks, hired by the bank as auditors. Internal audit has been mandated for all branches. The audit reports are timely submitted, complied with and the compliance verified before the closure of the report. A well qualified chartered accountant firm of Delhi has been engaged by the Bank as Audit Consultant to supervise internal/concurrent audit and suggest improvements wherever necessary. Many suggestions received from them have proved to be quite useful to the bank. Surprise inspections / verification of cash / other security documents are also done at irregular interval by bank's senior officers / heads of other branches. BANK'S FUNCTIONING AND MISC. ASPECTS: Bank is CBS compliant since 2010. However, it was being felt that the CBS software was unable to provide some important services to the customers which have become a norm in all PSU / private banks and was thus proving to be a bottleneck for us. The Bank therefore opted for an improved, world-class software system and since Dec. 2013, the new software has been introduced. Now we are in a position to introduce many important value added services for our customers. ATM-CUM-DEBIT CARD Even though our ATM card had inherent capability to work as Debit Card also, we were not in a position to offer this service to our account holders for want of software support. Now after introduction of the

13 A Bank for Your Welfare

new software, the bank has started this facility to the great delight of our customers. ATM - CUM - CDM Bank has taken another giant step to upgrade its customer service by installing ATM-cum- CDM machines at all of its branches and BC offices. These machines not only dispense cash to the ATM card holders of all banks in India, but also accept cash deposit from our customers. These machines can identify fake currency notes and can deliver receipt for the amount received. Not only this, the machine is capable to receiving cheques also for collection/local clearing. BC OFFICES Bank has appointed M/s. Janhit Foundation Lucknow as its Business Correspondent which has established various BC offices for us by appointing their staff as their representative. Each of these BC offices is affiliated to the nearest branch. The following BC offices have already been opened and are providing necessary banking services to the local villagers: Distt. Saharanpur - Nakur (Affiliated to Ambehta Branch), Chhutmalpur (Aff. To Hakikat Nagar), Chilkana (Chilkana Road). Distt. G.B. Nagar - Barola / Nithari / Sadarpur - (all 3 offices are affiliated to our Noida 27 Branch) Distt. Indore - Patnipura (affiliated to Indore Branch) Distt. Meerut - Mawana, Hastinapur and Maliyana. (affiliated to Meerut Branch) NEFT / RTGS Although the bank was providing NEFT / RTGS services to its customers, it was carrying out all transactions manually at H.O. on behalf of branches. However, now branches have been empowered to effect NEFT / RTGS at their end. Inward remittances are being credited into customers' accounts automatically. INSURANCE BUSINESS The Bank has tied up with the leading PSU Insurers - Oriental Insurance to offer insurance of property, automobiles, plant & machinery and health insurance as well. The move has been welcomed by the constituents of the bank.

14 A Bank for Your Welfare

FREE SMS ALERTS T LM-SMCBL , Your A/C Dear Customer All of our customers who have opted for SMS alerts in their xxxxxx499300 Credited- Rs. 35000.00-Ledg Bal accounts, are being offered this service by the bank free of charge. 128000 Thus, whenever there is a transaction in their account through ATM or otherwise, they instantly get an SMS alert on their mobile phone. OTHER ASPECTS Bank continues to honour its decision not to grant any advance against the security of shares and debentures. Similarly, bank does not invest in share market also. For the purpose of investments, bank chooses only govt. and trustee securities, debt instruments and maintains its deposits with various scheduled banks only. The Bank continues to be a subscriber of Deposit Insurance & Credit Guarantee Corporation (DICGC) scheme as per requirement of RBI and is thus extending the feeling of security to bank's constituents also. The Bank complies with in letter and spirit, with the demands, suggestions, guidelines, instructions of Reserve Bank of India as contained in their various letters and circulars. Keeping in view its great tradition of complete transparency, the Bank has got an state-of- the-art website offering information about banks performance, products and services, bank's previous years' annual reports, balance sheets, profit and loss accounts, statutory audit reports etc. Also available on the website are schedule of charges and bank's interest rates on deposits and advances. In view of large geographical area where Bank's branches and offices are scattered in U.P. and M.P., the Bank has started video conference facility to obviate the need of frequent movement of staff for discussions and faster decision making. Not only loan proposals are discussed with the branches in this manner, interviews of the candidates and staff trainings are also being conducted with the help of video conference. Besides this, Bank has also started online training facility for its staff officers. All branches of the Bank and Head Office are fully air-conditioned and are a pleasure to the eyes for the visiting public. Home Banking scheme as implemented by the Bank places us a class apart from other banks and is highly approciated by the beneficiaries of the same.

OUR FUTURE PLANS Business Under the able guidance of our Board of Directors and due to great devotion of staff towards their duties, we have been able to secure more and more business for the Bank. We hope to grow in leaps and bounds in the days to come as we are continually making our presence stronger in western U.P. We look forward to start the following services in near future : Online Shopping Facility with ATM-cum-DEBIT CARD: Having already started shopping facility across the counter on all major merchant establishments who offer sales through swiping machines, the next item on our agenda is to start the facility of online shopping also. Testing for the same is already underway and as soon as we are sure of offering a secured financial transaction to our card holders, we shall launch this scheme. Open New Account Tablet Banking: Tablets are highly portable and convenient devices to keep our field staff connected with the H.O. Even while remaining in field, they can not only maintain record of lead generation, but will also be able to open accounts through the tablets given to them. Mobile Banking: Connecting with the bank account through a mobile phone is also on our agenda and we hope to be able to provide this service soon. I am confident that if we continue to get the same kind of highly valuable cooperation and kind blessings of all of you, we would be scaling new heights in the days to come. Thank you, Sincerely, Sd/- (Suveer Kumar Gupta) MD & CEO

OUR PROFILE AND ACHIEVEMENTS

Shivalik Mercantile Co-operative Bank Ltd. was registered as a Co-operative Society under Uttar Pradesh Co-operative Societies Act, 1965 in 1997. It was granted the license to conduct banking business as a Primary Urban Co-operative Bank in the district Saharanpur by Reserve Bank of India in September, 1997. The Bank started operations on 5th September, 1998 and has registered constant growth since then. Presently the bank is rated amongst the best Urban Co-operative Banks in the state. Subsequent to achieving a deposit base of more than Rs. 100 crores on 31st March, 2010, the bank was recognized as a Tier-II bank and was allowed to extend its area of operation to entire state of Uttar Pradesh. The bank has constantly been endeavouring to expand and had taken over an Urban Co-operative Bank by the name of Bhoj Nagrik Sahakari Bank Maryadit at Dhar, Madhya Pradesh. As a result of this merger, which was effective on 1st November, 2010, the bank was de-registered from the state Government (UP Co-operative Societies Act, 1965) and was re-registered under the Central Government (Multi-state Co-operative Societies Act, 2002) under the overall control of the Central Registrar of Co-operative Societies, Ministry of Agriculture & Co-operation, New Delhi. Shivalik Bank thus became the first Multi-state Urban Co-operative Bank of the state of UP. Continuing the saga of inter-state expansion, Shivalik Bank again took over a weak co- operative bank, Malwa Commercial Co-operative Bank Ltd. in Indore, MP. The merger was made effective on 1st September, 2012. Thus Shivalik Bank got a second branch in the state of Madhya Pradesh. The Bank is fully computerized under CBS environment and has 20 branches at present, out of which eleven branches are located within District Saharanpur, one each at Meerut, 2 each in Ghaziabad and Noida, and one each at Indore & Dhar in Madhya Pradesh. The Bank is managed by a Board, which is well diversified, reputed and experienced. The Board comprises persons from all walks of society viz. Industrialists, Agriculturists, Traders, Professionals, Chartered Accountants, Retired Senior Bank Personnel etc. The phenomenal growth & excellent reputation of the bank is much accredited to the personal reputation and fame enjoyed by its Chairman & the Board of Directors, apart from the professional management style of the Bank.
