📌 Project Overview

This is a simple Bank Management System implemented in C language as part of the MCA first-year curriculum.
The system performs basic file-based operations on three separate data files:

1. Account Master File
2. Transaction File
3. Loan File

Each module supports:

• Insert a record
• Edit a record
• Delete a record
• View records

All data is stored using binary files (.dat).
