APSRTC CCS - BASIC INFORMATION
Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation Employees’ Thrift & Credit Co-operative Society Ltd., was established on 5th
April, 1952 with an objective to help the Member and not to fall prey to the Private money Lenders.
The Society which had in the beginning 2,558 Shareholders, Share Capital of about Rs. 60,000/-, Thrift of Rs. 71,700/- and five
employees, became the biggest and the best run cooperative in the State with 98,310 Shareholders and Thrift more than Rs.
710.00 Crores.
Members and Thrift: All the regular employees of the Corporation are entitled to become Members of the Society. Every
Member shall have only one share of Rs. 300/-.
Dividend is Credited to the members MRDF A/c.
Every Member immediately after joining the Society starts contributing towards Thrift (MRDF) @ 6% of his Basic Pay, rounded
off to the nearest Ten Rupees. Compound Interest @ 10% per annum is provided on these accumulations. The Thrift
accumulations are payable to the Members at the time of Retirement or closure of the account.
LOANS:
Short Term Loans: Members are eligible for Short Term Loans on completion of One (1) year regular service in the Corporation
and One (1) months membership in the Society.
A minimum amount equal to seven (7) months Basic Pay will be granted as Short Term Loan till completion of four (4) years
membership subject to satisfying other conditions.
After completion of four (4) years membership, the loan will be granted taking into consideration the length of service completed
in the Corporation. At present 100% of the Basic Pay is being considered for sanction of loans.
The Short Term Loan is granted subject to a maximum of Rs.2,00,000/-. However, the Members whose MRDF balance exceeds
Rs.50,000/- can draw loan to the extent of 1.75 times of his Thrift subject to other conditions.
However, if the gross loan amount exceeds Rs. 60,000/- a Member shall have in MRDF Account at least 40% of the amount of
loan granted. The short fall amount of the required percentage, if any, will be recovered from the loan granted and credited to the
Members MRDF account.
The Borrower who had drawn loan up to 9 months Basic Pay can repay the loan within 48 monthly installments. Who draws loan
of 10 to 15 months Basic Pay can repay within 72 monthly installments and those who draw loan more than 15 months Basic Pay
can repay within 84 monthly installments.
Interest on Short Term Loans is charged @ 11% PA on monthly reducing balances.
The Member applying for loan shall furnish two valid Sureties; every Member can stand as Surety to 3 borrowers. The difference
between borrowers basic pay and sureties basic pay is allowed up to Rs.1,500/-. In case, the sureties basic pay is Rs.6,000/-
and above, the above condition doesn’t apply. He may stand as surety to any three borrowers. One can apply for inclusive loan
on completion of 12 monthly installments through salary bill.
8-FORM:
The Borrower is to provide another valid Surety to the Short Term Loan within two months if any of the Surety ceases to be a
Member of the Society for any reason. The loan eligibility will be deferred for the period delayed in resubmission of valid surety
subject to maximum of one month.
Short Term Loan without Sureties: Short term loan can also be drawn without sureties on the strength of the amount of MRDF
held. The amount of short Term loan granted in such cases is to the extent of MRDF Balance. However, it is necessary to note
that, this is not an additional loan.
50 Percent of MRDF as Short Term Loan: The Members whose left over service is 3 years and less, can apply for Short Term
Loan under this Scheme. It may however, be noted, that this is not an additional loan facility. In case the loan eligibility reckoned
as per the general conditions, is less than 50% of his Thrift accumulations, the Member is required to mention on the loan
application as “Loan of 50% of MRDF”.
As this is not MRDF withdrawal, this loan amount is to be repaid in monthly installments. The premium towards DMFRF will be
recovered @ 1% in addition to the usual rate, to write off the loan balance in the event of death of the borrower.
The monthly deduction shall be made to the extent of 1/3 of Gross salary in accordance with the Co-operative Societies Act. The
loan balance outstanding on the date of retirement will be recovered from his MRDF accumulations to settle the account.

APSRTC CCS - BASIC INFORMATION
Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation Employees’ Thrift & Credit Co-operative Society Ltd., was established on 5th
April, 1952 with an objective to help the Member and not to fall prey to the Private money Lenders.
The Society which had in the beginning 2,558 Shareholders, Share Capital of about Rs. 60,000/-, Thrift of Rs. 71,700/- and five
employees, became the biggest and the best run cooperative in the State with 98,310 Shareholders and Thrift more than Rs.
710.00 Crores.
Members and Thrift: All the regular employees of the Corporation are entitled to become Members of the Society. Every
Member shall have only one share of Rs. 300/-.
Dividend is Credited to the members MRDF A/c.
Every Member immediately after joining the Society starts contributing towards Thrift (MRDF) @ 6% of his Basic Pay, rounded
off to the nearest Ten Rupees. Compound Interest @ 10% per annum is provided on these accumulations. The Thrift
accumulations are payable to the Members at the time of Retirement or closure of the account.
LOANS:
Short Term Loans: Members are eligible for Short Term Loans on completion of One (1) year regular service in the Corporation
and One (1) months membership in the Society.
A minimum amount equal to seven (7) months Basic Pay will be granted as Short Term Loan till completion of four (4) years
membership subject to satisfying other conditions.
After completion of four (4) years membership, the loan will be granted taking into consideration the length of service completed
in the Corporation. At present 100% of the Basic Pay is being considered for sanction of loans.
The Short Term Loan is granted subject to a maximum of Rs.2,00,000/-. However, the Members whose MRDF balance exceeds
Rs.50,000/- can draw loan to the extent of 1.75 times of his Thrift subject to other conditions.
However, if the gross loan amount exceeds Rs. 60,000/- a Member shall have in MRDF Account at least 40% of the amount of
loan granted. The short fall amount of the required percentage, if any, will be recovered from the loan granted and credited to the
Members MRDF account.
The Borrower who had drawn loan up to 9 months Basic Pay can repay the loan within 48 monthly installments. Who draws loan
of 10 to 15 months Basic Pay can repay within 72 monthly installments and those who draw loan more than 15 months Basic Pay
can repay within 84 monthly installments.
Interest on Short Term Loans is charged @ 11% PA on monthly reducing balances.
The Member applying for loan shall furnish two valid Sureties; every Member can stand as Surety to 3 borrowers. The difference
between borrowers basic pay and sureties basic pay is allowed up to Rs.1,500/-. In case, the sureties basic pay is Rs.6,000/-
and above, the above condition doesn’t apply. He may stand as surety to any three borrowers. One can apply for inclusive loan
on completion of 12 monthly installments through salary bill.
8-FORM:
The Borrower is to provide another valid Surety to the Short Term Loan within two months if any of the Surety ceases to be a
Member of the Society for any reason. The loan eligibility will be deferred for the period delayed in resubmission of valid surety
subject to maximum of one month.
Short Term Loan without Sureties: Short term loan can also be drawn without sureties on the strength of the amount of MRDF
held. The amount of short Term loan granted in such cases is to the extent of MRDF Balance. However, it is necessary to note
that, this is not an additional loan.
50 Percent of MRDF as Short Term Loan: The Members whose left over service is 3 years and less, can apply for Short Term
Loan under this Scheme. It may however, be noted, that this is not an additional loan facility. In case the loan eligibility reckoned
as per the general conditions, is less than 50% of his Thrift accumulations, the Member is required to mention on the loan
application as “Loan of 50% of MRDF”.
As this is not MRDF withdrawal, this loan amount is to be repaid in monthly installments. The premium towards DMFRF will be
recovered @ 1% in addition to the usual rate, to write off the loan balance in the event of death of the borrower.
The monthly deduction shall be made to the extent of 1/3 of Gross salary in accordance with the Co-operative Societies Act. The
loan balance outstanding on the date of retirement will be recovered from his MRDF accumulations to settle the account.
