with population above 5000 without a bank branch of a scheduled commercial bank.
54 such villages has been identified and allocated to banks for opening of Brick and Mortar branches by March 2017.
During the deliberations in the 2nd steering committee meeting to SLBC held on 28.07.2016, it has been observed that no bank branch has opened any branch during the quarter, so it has been decided to prepare the quarter wise road map and monitor the progress accordingly. Now as per the revised road map banks will open 30% Brick and Mortar branches in the allocated villages by September 2016, 30% by December 2016 and rest 40% by March 2017. The banks to whom
only 1 or 2 centre were allocated will open the same by December 2016 and from the next quarter the progress of the banks will be reviewed accordingly. (Copy of revised road map is attached as per Annexure-11 which is submitted for approval of the house).
Convener bank is receiving representations from many banks that the identified centre for opening of branch is not viable on account of one or another reason. In this context, we again reiterate the clarification by Regional Director RBI that once the allocation has been made branch has to be opened. Since opening of Brick and Mortar branch at the centre having population above 5000 is as per the instructions of Ministry of Finance, we request all the concerned banks not to send any reference and open the branch as per the instructions of Ministry of Finance.
Controlling Heads of all the concerned banks are requested to note the instructions of RBI and ensure to

open the branch at the identified centre as per the road map submitted by them.
