Financial Inclusion – Indian Story
04/13/23 20
• The story thus far,– Out of 6,00,000 habitations only 30,000 have commercial
bank branch– Only 40% of population across country have bank accounts– Out of the above many are dormant accounts– Proportion of people with life insurance 10%– Proportion of people with non life insurance 0.6%– People with debit cards 13%– People with credit cards 2%– 51% of 90 million house-holds did not have credit from
institutional/non-institutional sources– Only 27% had credit from formal financial sources
04/13/23 21
Reasons for financial exclusion
04/13/23 22
• The rural penetration of banking even though good has not
been sufficient mainly because it is perceived as not cost
effective
• The rural finance sector is still being dominated by non-
institutional factors such as money-lenders who offer tailor
made products
• They do not fall under normal credit worthiness parameters
denying them opportunities of normal institutional credit
Reasons for financial exclusion
04/13/23 23
• High cost & burdensome procedures drive poor further
away
• Low Literacy hinders creating awareness on healthy
financial planning at rural centres
• Economic Growth has not trickled down
• The gap between haves & have nots has increased
significantly
Reasons for financial exclusion
04/13/23 24
• Basic infrastructure facilities are lacking in rural areas
especially electricity & communication
• Vast amount of migration has created a new segment of
Urban Poor
• The poor whose primary source of income is agrarian, is
highly susceptible to vagaries of nature

Win – Win Situation
04/13/23 34
– The banks using low cost methods get access to the most lucrative un-targetted population in the country
– Access to cheap float funds– Small charges for services rendered can give
reasonable revenue– Once, the poor (urban/rural) have responsible access
to financial services, they will become better income earners, thereby increasing the savings portfolio
– In short, it is a win-win for all stakeholders & the ultimate catalyst for real economic growth
To sum up
04/13/23 35
– We have come a long way, especially for a country with a very high population and diverse geographical, cultural barriers
– Unless we seriously pursue the literacy programs we cannot create awareness & stimulate demand
– Measures to revive Real sectors of economy – From the supply side, we have to constantly
improvise & leverage technology to reduce costs– Basic infrastructure such as power &
communication should be spruced up.
