The Jammu and Kashmir Bank was established on 1st October in the year 1938, thanks to the commendable effort by the Maharaja Hari Singh of Jammu and Kashmir.
The Maharaja had requested prominent Kashmiri financiers to be the board directors and stakeholders of the bank, the most outstanding of which were the Bhaghat clan and Abdul Aziz Mantoo and Pesten Gee, all of whom obtained key shares.
The bank initiated its operations on 4th July 1939, almost a year after its launch, and was regarded the first of its kind and structure as a bank run by the State in India. What started off as a semi-State Bank with contribution from the capital as well as the public, attained the position of a scheduled bank and was announced as an 'A' Class bank in 1976 by the Reserve Bank of India.
