Financial Inclusion & Financial Literacy

1. Financial Inclusion by Extension of Banking Services

Financial inclusion refers to delivering financial services at affordable costs to sections of disadvantaged and low-income groups. Banks play a crucial role in expanding their outreach to rural and underserved areas through brick-and-mortar branches, Business Correspondents (BCs), and banking agents.

2. Use of Mobiles/Tablets in Financial Inclusion Drive

Mobile phones and tablets serve as effective tools for expanding banking access. Mobile banking apps, Aadhaar-enabled payment systems (AEPS), and digital onboarding allow banks to reach remote customers easily. These technologies reduce operational costs and improve real-time financial services.

3. Financial Literacy

Financial literacy involves educating people about financial concepts such as savings, budgeting, investment, credit, and insurance. Banks organize financial literacy camps and workshops to promote responsible financial behavior and informed decision-making among the public.

4. Rural Self Employment Training Institutes (RSETI)

RSETIs are training institutions established by banks in collaboration with the Ministry of Rural Development to promote self-employment among rural youth. They provide free training in various trades, entrepreneurship, and soft skills to help individuals start their own businesses.
