Still it has certain limitations like: 1.11.8 Scope and limitations of study: The study covers the period of 10 years from 2006-007 to 2015-16. The study covers performance evaluation and operational aspects of Telangana Grameena Bank. The scope of the study will be confined to analysis of Capital, Deposits, Investments, Credit flow, profits,NPS and other financial parameters, etc.

The results which disclosed may not applicable to the other areas, other banks it may be one of the limitation of the study, ABSTRACT It may be observed soon after independence in 1947, the Government decided to develop the economy. It was also well known of the situation of the credit facilities in the country. As a preliminary measure, the Government put restriction on commercial banks.
Being rather doubtful of the response to the measures initiated to channelise increasing volume of credit to priority sectors, lead the Government to contemplate on giving the ownership of banks under State Control, which culminated in to the nationalization of fourteen banks in the country on 19th July 1969. The main objectives of the nationalization, among others, were ensuring greater supply of credit for priority sectors, removal of ownership of banks by a few and giving a professional feel to the bank management.
In due course, the lead bank scheme was implemented and finally to speed up rural credit, particularly credit to the weaker sections of the rural community (i.e. small farmers), the Regional Rural Banks were brought into existence. It was only some time ago that the union finance minister ruled out in the parliament the possibility of a merger of the Rural Regional Banks The Tribunal Award, announced granting of pay parity to all the 70,000 RRB employees with their counter parts in the sponsoring commercial banks, altering the financial picture to some extent. For the imposition of higher wage bill on the hopelessly unviable RRBs might just force the merger issue.
Nevertheless, there are sound reasons for the Finance Minister to not change his stand. The role and viability of the RRBs has been questioned since their inception. But the Dantwala, Kelkar and Khusro Committees have all upheld the usefulness of the RRBs in credit dispensation in the rural areas, although they have differed in their prescription for improving their viability. Thus, the RRBs will continue to operate and, given their mandate, probably remain unviable.
