4. FINANCIAL INCLUSION
 The term "financial inclusion" has gained
importance since the early 2000s, a result of
findings about financial exclusion and its direct
correlation to poverty.
 Former United Nation Secretary-General Kofi
Annan, on 29 December 2003, said: ”The stark
reality is that most poor people in the world still
lack access to sustainable financial services,
whether it is savings, credit or insurance.
 In the Indian context, the term ‘financial
inclusion’ was used for the first time in April 2005
in the Annual Policy Statement presented
by Y.Venugopal Reddy, the then
Governor, Reserve Bank of India.

5. FINANCIAL INCLUSION IN INDIA
 In India, RBI has initiated several measures to achieve
greater financial inclusion, such as facilitating no-frills
accounts and GCCs for small deposits and credit. Some of
these steps are;
 Opening of no-frills accounts: Basic banking no-frills account
is with nil or very low minimum balance as well as charges that
make such accounts accessible to vast sections of the population.
Banks have been advised to provide small overdrafts in such
accounts.
 Relaxation on know-your-customer (KYC) norms: KYC
requirements for opening bank accounts were relaxed for small
accounts in August 2005,thereby simplifying procedures by
stipulating that introduction by an account holder who has been
subjected to the full KYC drill would suffice for opening such
accounts. It has now been further relaxed to include the letters
issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India containing

 Engaging business correspondents (BCs): In January
2006, RBI permitted banks to engage business facilitators

effective use of information and communications technology
(ICT), to provide doorstep banking services through the BC
model where the accounts can be operated by even illiterate
customers by using biometrics, thus ensuring the security of
transactions and enhancing confidence in the banking system.
 Adoption of Electronic Based Transfer (EBT): Banks
have been advised to implement EBT by banking through BCs
to transfer social benefits electronically to the bank account of
the beneficiary and deliver government benefits to the
doorstep of the beneficiary.

 GCC: With a view to helping the poor and the
disadvantaged with access to easy credit, banks have
been asked to consider introduction of a general purpose
credit card facility up to Rs.25,000/-at their rural and
semi-urban branches.
 Simplified branch authorization: To address the
issue of uneven spread of bank branches, in December
2009, domestic scheduled commercial banks were
permitted to freely open branches in tier III to tier VI
centres with a population of less than 50,000 under
general permission.
 Opening of branches in unbanked rural centres:

areas so as to improve banking penetration and
