Inclusion to make available a basic "no-frills" banking account.
• In India, Financial Inclusion was first introduced in 2005.
• In January 2006, the Reserve Bank permitted commercial banks to make use of the
services of non-governmental organizations, micro-finance institutions and other
civil society organizations as intermediaries for providing financial and banking
services.
• emphasizes on the access to basic formal financial services at an affordable cost in
a sustainable manner for the vulnerable people (NABARD, 2008).
• The bank asked the commercial banks in different regions to start a 100% Financial
Inclusion campaign on a pilot basis
6. Need of Financial Inclusion
An inclusive financial system has several merits
• It facilitates efficient allocation of productive resources, and
thus can potentially reduce the cost of capital.
• Easy access to appropriate financial services, which can
significantly improve the day-to-day management of
finances.
• help in reducing the growth of informal sources of credit
• an all-inclusive financial system enhances efficiency and
welfare by providing avenues for secure and safe saving
practices and by facilitating a whole range of efficient
financial services.
7. Need of Financial Inclusion
Some Facts about FI in India,
• 90% of small businesses have no links with formal financial institutions.
• About 60% of the rural and urban population does not even have a
functional bank account.
• Bank-credit to GDP ratio in the country, as a whole, is a modest 70%.
• In Bihar, Bank-credit to GDP ratio is even lower, at 16%.
• Saving as a proportion to GDP has fallen from 36.8% in 2007-08 to 30.8%
in 2011-12

8. Measures for Financial Inclusion
• Providing basic banking services to population without
discrimination
• Making the banking system self sustaining
• leads to increase in savings, investment and thereby, spurs the
processes of economic growth
• Increasing the habit of saving in lower income group
• creates avenues of formal credit to the unbanked population
• Increasing entrepreneurial spirit
• Making available the formal remittance facilities to lower income
group
10. RBI’s Approaches to Fi. Inc.
• Approach towards FI by focusing on both the
demand and supply side constraints.
• To Increase Demand = Financial Literacy
– i.e. creating a demand for the financial products and
services by making people aware about their easeness
to use & its advantage.
• To Increase Supply = Financial Inclusion
– i.e. for creating access to the financial services
11. RBI’s Approaches to Fi. Inc.
• Adopted a bank-led model with non-bank entities
• Encouraged banks to pursue FI as a commercial activity
• Encouraged banks to leverage technology while keeping the cost of
providing financial services to the minimum.
• Banks should adopt innovative business models and delivery
channels to expand their FI efforts.
• Considers financial Literacy is an important adjunct
• Create a conducive regulatory environment and providing
institutional support to banks in their FI efforts
12. Institutional Mechanism by RBI
• Separate Technical Group on Financial Inclusion and
Financial Literacy under the aegis of FSDC (Financial
Stability and Development Council)
• RBI has constituted a Financial Inclusion Advisory
Committee (FIAC) under the Chairmanship of a Deputy
Governor from RBI.
• State Level Bankers Committees (SLBC) in all the states.
• Lead District Managers in all the 659 districts
• About 700 financial literacy centres have been set up by
banks
• Rural Self-Employment Training Institutes (R-SETI)
13. RBI Policy Initiatives
• Branch expansion in rural areas
– Banks need not to require prior permission to open branches in
centres with population less than 1 lakh
– Banks have been mandated to open at least 25 per cent of their new
branches in unbanked rural centres
• Agent Banking - Business Correspondent/ Business Facilitator
Model
– RBI permitted banks to utilise the services of intermediaries
– This model allows banks to do ‘cash in - cash out’ transactions at a
location much closer to the rural population,
• Relaxed KYC norms
– Small accounts can be opened with self certification in the presence of
bank officials
– RBI has allowed ‘Aadhaar’ card
14. RBI Policy Initiatives
• Roadmap for Banking Services in unbanked Villages
– In 1st phase, banks were advised to draw up a roadmap for
villages having a population of over 2,000
– In 2nd phase, Roadmap has been prepared for covering
remaining unbanked villages i.e. with population less than 2000
• Bouquet of Financial services
– To meet all customer needs, banks have to offer a minimum of
four basic products
• A savings cum overdraft account
• A pure savings account
• A remittance product to facilitate EBT and other remittances,
• Entrepreneurial credit products like GCC, KCC
15. Committee on FI
The RBI appointed a Committee on
Comprehensive Financial services for Small
Businesses and Low-Income Households under
the Chairmanship of Shri Nachiket Mor, member
on the Central Board of Directors, RBI in the
month of Sep 2013.
16. Motive of the Panel
• To frame a clear and detailed vision for financial
inclusion and financial deepening in India.
• Designing principles for achievement of financial
inclusion and financial deepening across the
country.
• Development of comprehensive framework to
monitor the progress of financial inclusion.
18. RECOMMENDATIONS OF
NACHIKET MOR COMMITEE
• At its core the Committee’s recommendations argue that in order to
achieve the vision of full financial inclusion and financial deepening in a
manner that enhances systemic stability, there is a need to move away
from a limited focus on any one model to an approach where multiple
models and partnerships allowed to emerge, particularly between national
full-service banks, regional banks of various types, non-bank finance
companies, and financial markets.
• In the spirit of the RBI’s approach paper on differentiated Banks, the
Committee recommends that the RBI may also seriously consider licensing,
with lowered entry barriers but otherwise equivalent treatment, more
functionally focussed banks like Payments Banks, Wholesale Consumer
Banks, and Wholesale Investment Banks.
19. SOME IMPORTANT SUGGESTIONS
• By 1 January 2016 each resident of India, above
the age of 18, would have an individual, full-
service, safe, and secure electronic bank account
• Every Indian resident should be issued an account
at the time of receiving Aadhaar number by a
bank.
• Aadhaar card should be used automatically to
open a bank account.
20. • Facility for withdrawal, payment and deposit should be
set up within a 15-minutes walking distance anywhere
in the country.
• ‘Payments Banks’ should be set up to “provide
payment services and deposit products to small
businesses and low-income households” with a
maximum balance of Rs 50,000 per customer. These
banks can be set up with minimum capital requirement
of Rs 50 crore, one-tenth of the Rs 500 crore required
for full-service bank.
21. • Interest subsidies and loan waivers should be
abolished. Instead govt. should transfer benefits
directly to farmers.
• Statutory liquidity ratio has outlived its utility for both
Banks and NBFCs and eventually needs to be removed.
• Banks should do away with the system of lending
below their respective base rates to the farm sector.
22. • All type of Insurance products should be made
available to the poor at reasonable prices.
• Bank interest rates should be over and above the
prevailing rate of Wholesale Inflation
• NBFCs (non-banking financial companies) should
be appointed as agents of banks and their
services should be taken in increasing financial
inclusion
