INTRODUCTION
 Introduction:
The Loan Management System project by Sribridhi Foundation aims to
revolutionize loan disbursal and management for women's groups. It addresses
manual process challenges like data management and commission calculations,
streamlining operations and enhancing efficiency. Key features include automated
data retrieval from payment receipts, weekly reports on overdue payments, and a
dedicated portal for credit officers to access customer details. The system prioritizes
transparency, offering audit trails, and customer access to loan records. Access
controls ensure data security, while automated commission calculations and
customizable payment details enhance functionality. The user-friendly web portal
ensures accessibility and convenience for all stakeholders.

 Objective and scope of the Project:

 Project Goals & Objectives:

LITERATURE OVERVIEW
  Introduction:

The Loan Management System is a web-based application designed to

streamline the management of loans within a financial institution. Built using Java
Servlets, the system allows loan staff to efficiently handle customer information and
loan details. The core functionalities include user authentication, customer
management, and loan processing. By leveraging modern web technologies, this
system aims to enhance operational efficiency, ensure data accuracy, and improve
overall user experience for loan officers.

 Historical Overview:

The concept of loan management has evolved significantly over the years. Initially, loan
processing and management were predominantly manual tasks, requiring extensive
paperwork and in-person interactions. This method was time-consuming, prone to errors,
and lacked the efficiency needed to handle large volumes of data.

With the advent of computer technology in the late 20th century, financial institutions
began to adopt basic computerized systems to manage loan information. These early
systems, often built using mainframe computers, offered rudimentary functionalities and
required specialized knowledge to operate.

The rise of the internet in the 1990s brought about a significant shift in how loan
management systems were designed and implemented. Web-based applications emerged,
offering more intuitive interfaces and remote accessibility. This shift allowed for greater
scalability and integration with other financial systems.

In recent years, the development of robust frameworks and tools for web applications
has further transformed loan management systems. Java Servlets, a key component of the
Java EE platform, have become a popular choice for building scalable and secure web
applications. The use of Java Servlets in this project aligns with industry standards and best
practices, ensuring a reliable and efficient loan management solution.

This project builds upon the historical advancements in loan management technology,
leveraging the power of Java Servlets to provide a comprehensive solution that addresses
the needs of modern financial institutions. By integrating secure login mechanisms,
customer management features, and detailed loan tracking capabilities, the Loan
Management System represents a significant step forward in the evolution of financial
software solutions.
