Bank · high confidence

Listed as a scheduled bank at Kadiri in the banking table of the District Census Handbook, Anantapur District (1961 Census). A bank of the same family, 'Vysya Bank', is listed at Hindupur in the same table. Recorded because the name is an explicit Arya Vysya / Vysya community marker; the handbook gives no founder or officer names and none are recorded here. Present-day status NOT verified - Vysya Bank Ltd was later absorbed into a larger bank, so this is a historical 1961 record only.

Kadiri was a taluk of CUDDAPAH district until October 1910, so it has no entry in the 1905 Anantapur gazetteer. Imperial Gazetteer of India, Provincial Series: Madras, Vol. I (1908), pp. 396-397: 'A large temple here (one of the most famous in the District) is dedicated to Narasimha, to whose festival many pilgrims resort in the early part of the year... Since the town became a station on the South Indian Railway, it has increased in importance as a trade centre. A brisk business in grain is transacted.' The Cuddapah gazetteer (1915) states at p. 114 that 'The big traders of the district are Komatis, the principal caste of hereditary merchants in the Telugu country. Much of the retail trade is also in their hands' - a DISTRICT-WIDE statement for Cuddapah, of which Kadiri taluk then formed part; it is NOT a statement about Kadiri town specifically, and is recorded here only as context.
