Financial inclusion is a buzzword.
According to the World Bank, Financial inclusion means individuals and businesses have access to useful and affordable financial products and services that meet their needs – transactions, payments, savings, credit and insurance – delivered in a responsible and sustainable way.
The Government’s Aadhaar initiative, with its biometric identification, and Jan Dhan Yojana laid the foundation for India’s financial inclusion drive a few years ago. Now, its success is wafting to all corners of the world, thanks to the growing popularity of Unified Payment Interface (UPI) and RuPay, which have started challenging global names in the digital payments space.
According to the National Payments Corporation of India, the volume of UPI transactions grew by leaps and bounds to 482.3 million in October 2018 from 30 million in September 2017.
So is the case with the popularity of Jan Dhan accounts.
From nearly 77% in 2014, zero balance Jan Dhan accounts dropped to 20% in 2018, thanks to the demonetisation drive, in no small measure. All in all, a majority of Jan Dhan account holders have finally started using their bank accounts.
With 32 crore Jan Dhan accounts, more than 80% of Indian households have a bank account now, taking financial inclusion to a whole new level. Going digital became the name of the game, so much so that suddenly every company worth its name acquired a chief digital officer on its payroll.
But did you know, despite all this success, India has only:
