WAY FORWARD – FUTURE OF FINANCIAL INCLUSION
 One of the major challenges under Financial Inclusion has been addressing the
last mile connectivity problem. The need is to develop and implement scalable,
platform-independent technology solutions which, if implemented on a large
scale, will bring down the high cost of operation.
 Banks need to perfect their delivery and business model. A number of different
models involving handheld devices with smart cards, mobiles, mini ATMs, etc
are being tried out and it is necessary that they are integrated with the backend
CBS system for scaling up.
 Banks should strive to provide a minimum of four basic products and, in
addition, design new products tailored to income streams of poor borrowers and
according to their needs and interests. Banks must be able to offer the entire
suite of financial products and services to the poor clients at an attractive pricing.
Though the cost of administering small ticket personal transactions is high, these
can be brought down if banks effectively
