In recent years, India has witnessed a high rate of economic growth, which has resulted in greater personal wealth for many Indians. However, a majority section of the society is still financially uncovered, meaning it does not have access to formal financial institutions. In light of recent research that shows a strong correlation between financial exclusion and poverty and inequality, the Indian government has made financial inclusion an integral part of its planning strategy. The spreading of banking network to the vast rural areas of the country at an affordable cost remains as a challenge to all those who are involved.
