Urban Cooperative Banks (UCBs) have played a pivotal role in catering to the financial needs of small businesses and individuals in urban areas. This paper examines the performance of UCBs in Lucknow, focusing on challenges such as corruption, banking frauds, tax evasion, and their implications for the economy. The dual role of UCBs as facilitators of financial inclusion and potential enablers of unethical practices is explored. Additionally, this paper highlights the evolving expectations of society from UCBs in light of the changing economic landscape.
