Kanhur Pathar
About Us
The people’s own credit society, since 1984
Our story
From a single desk to 17 branches
Kanhur Pathar is a village in Parner taluka of Ahilyanagar district – a taluka long known for drought. With little work available, most people had moved to cities like Pune and Mumbai for jobs or business. Farmers had no one to turn to for credit and were forced to depend on private moneylenders, who had become widespread.
It was in these circumstances, in 1984, that Kanhur Pathar Patsanstha was founded – so that farmers and working families could have financial services of their own. Work began at a single desk in a very small room. With the help of the board of directors of the time and well-wishers in the village, the society quickly raised ₹14 lakh in deposits and earned the trust of its members.
Guided by one aim – meeting customers’ needs and growing with its members – the society worked tirelessly. Its area of operation soon reached beyond Ahilyanagar district to the whole of Maharashtra. Setting new deposit records every year, it became a model for other credit societies in the district and was honoured with many state-level awards.
In 2010 the society became a multi-state credit society, with Maharashtra and Rajasthan as its area of operation – taking it to the national stage. Today it has 17 branches across urban and rural areas, 12 of them in its own buildings. Every transaction runs online: the society has its own data centre and has adopted a core banking system, making fast, prompt service easy for every member.
Excellent management and disciplined governance have earned the society a reputation for financial discipline in the taluka. Thanks to sound financial planning, it stood firm through demonetisation and the COVID period. The head-office building, first built in 2000, has been renovated with modern facilities using a building fund set aside from each year’s profits, and today stands as a landmark corporate building in the taluka. The society has consistently received Audit Class ‘A’ and pays its members a 12% dividend every year.
