access
• The development of Adarsh (model) School in every panchayat and
colleges in every blocks has ensured raised literacy levels. This along with
wide spread IEC by banks and all stake holders has increased financial
literacy, thus leading to financial inclusion
Bank Mitras
• Bank Correspondents(Mitras) (BCs) have been engaged by Banks at GPs
• Approximately 5000 e-mitras have been opened in the district with ~2000 emitras having micro ATM facility
• At present, separate 387 e-mitras in the district have become functional as BCs;
200 more are in the pipeline
• Micro ATMs/BCs enable door step banking in the villages
• Bank Mitras are working!! - In February 2016, a total of INR 17,22,579 has been

village in the form of BC/micro ATMs/E-mitras.

transactions through micro ATMs installed at Atal Sewa Kendra through
Information Assistants, trained and educated youth at GP level

Bankers, Govt. officials at District, Block Gram Panchayat levels for

• Most of the accounts opened before 26.01.15 avail additional LIC cover of INR
30,000
• Information Assistants, E-mitras were directed to ensure usage of Rupay debit
cards once in 90 days to avail accidental Insurance cover
• Success stories were publicized across the district to motivate the people
Zero Balance Accounts
Countering ZBA – A major challenge under PMJDY
• Linkage with DBT under seven different flagship programmes has reduced slipbacks significantly
• Automatic Overdraft facility – A ready reckoner under PMJDY to reduce ZBA
• Linking the accounts with PMMY – Emphasis on shishu loans with
disbursement target of 25 shishu loans per branch
• Linking the accounts with PMJJY, PMSBY & APY – Payment of all 3 schemes
(INR 846 min. annual premium) paid by officials for private staff across
departments kept the accounts functional
• Large scale IEC activities in the district have enlightened the masses
ZBA – other initiatives
•
Women Empowerment - Savings Accounts under Bhamashah and PMJDY
schemes are opened in the name of female head of the family
•
Benefits under JSY are transferred exclusively to accounts headed by women
•
SMS push facility was used regularly to motivate the accountholders to perform
cash transactions from their accounts
•
Role of public representatives in motivating people was critical
Result - The non-functional accounts were gradually reduced to 23%, whereas ZBA
were reduced to 49%
Caution– Lesser number of ZBA is not a real indicator of financial inclusion as some
operational accounts may have zero balance. Also, Some people, seeking overdraft
and insurance cover, open multiple accounts, thereby making few of their accounts
ZBAs
“Promote Savings in the banks”
Addressing Infrastructural Bottlenecks
• Rajnet, an initiative of the government of Rajasthan, is providing internet facility
to E-mitras 24*7 in Atal Seva Kendras at GP level.
• Telecom operators like BSNL, Airtel etc. were directed to install more towers in
the district and improve service delivery; Unconnected villages were connected
through USOF programme
• Solar panels were installed in ALL Atal Sewa Kendras to provide uninterrupted
power supply
• All Atal Seva Kendra, having the e-Mitra/BC, are well connected by roads
constructed either under PMGSY or other govt schemes
• Out of 5000, 387, E-Mitras were converted into Banking Correspondents (BCs)
Goal : Connecting all 2395 villages and 316 wards of Jaipur through Bank Mitras
Systematic Changes that Fructified
• Bhamashah – Promotion of DBT and reduction of ZBA
• Anywhere, Anytime banking for the citizen: In-depth penetration of e-mitras
resulted in transactions worth more than 800 million through BCs/E-mitras
• Feedback mechanism introduced, along with a 24*7 control room at collectorate
• Participation of public representatives on all forums including Gram Sabhas
• SMS alerts to educate and inform the account holders about their bank balance
• Rigorous efforts in IEC and monitoring through meetings/VCs with officials/Public
representatives at various levels including MoS for I&B
Systematic Changes that Fructified
• Deputation of one trained IT official at every block to help the citizenry
• Empowering Bank Mitras and E-Mitras and regular monitoring by
Controller of Banks
• PMJDY stickers and Registration/reference numbers of the three flagship
schemes (PMJJY, PMSSY & APY) were pasted on overleaf or back page of
bank passbooks inter alia cheque books, Rupay Debit card and its covers
to keep the beneficiaries updated all the time, be pasted on
• Renewal date for insurance schemes was regularly updated on the PMJDY
stickers pasted on bank passbook
• We plan to introduce complete automatic renewal for payment of
insurance premium
Some Success Stories
1.
Rajasthan Marudhara Gramin Bank, Rajawas Village, Jaipur:
•
One Mr. Jagdish opened account under PMJDY and also registered for accidental
insurance cover under PMSBY & PMJJY
•
He succumbed to death in an accident in his scooter repairing shop
•
His Nominee, his wife Mrs. Saroj Bai (M 9887360610) is also registered under
Bhamashah, PMSBY & PMJJY
•
Mrs. Saroj Bai received a claim of INR 2,00,000/-
2. Regional Rural Bank, Med village, Jaipur
•
In three PMJDY/ Bhamashah account holders namely Miss Babita Sharma D/o
Sri Jagdish R/o Med; Mrs. Andi Devi w/o Sri Chanda Lal Regar, R/o Med; aand
Mrs. Dhapa Devi Saini w/o Shankar Lal Saini, R/o Med have opted insurance
risk cover under PMSBY and consequent to their sad demise all three have got
claims to the tune of INR. 2,00,000/- each
Some Bottlenecks that need to be addressed
• In few cases, Multiple accounts for an individual have been opened by banks
in the rush for meeting targets
• Some persons in a bid to get dual benefits of overdraft and insurance cover,
opened multiple accounts in different branches
• Banks desist from issuing over drafts because of multiple accounts though
PMJDY is Aadhar linked
Solution
We are trying to achieve cent percent seeding of Bank Accounts with
Aadhar and Bhamashah
All such duplicate accounts shall be identified and de-linked from PMJDY
Next Steps
• Insurance companies and banks should mandatorily intimate the
beneficiaries about their pilot schemes/ rate of interest/ bank transactions
etc through SMS alerts in bilingual and preferably in one regional language so
that a sense of financial inclusion is inculcated.
• Speedy Aadhar registration to reach cent percent coverage of the district
• Adding more DBT services to the basket of E-Mitras
• All the E-mitras shall be provided with micro ATMs to increase penetration
• Turn around time for replacement of non functional ATMs to be reduced to
less than a day
Next Steps
• The requisite premium of the benefits under three flagship schemes namely
PMSBY, PMJJY and APY can be automatically renewed through a frozen
balance in the account of the beneficiary: Will reduce slip-backs
• Systematic changes required in PMMY for better financial inclusion and
promotion of self employment
– Exemption from stamps duty in line of KCC for Shishu Loans ?
– Balance sheet not mandatory for Shishu loans?
– Need for Registered entrepreneurs - if he is registered, he is not new,
thus, thereby denied credit facility?
– NPA (IRAC) norms on shishu loans should be made 1 year i.e. two
harvesting seasons as in case of Agriculture (KCC), instead of 90 days?
– The coverage to RRBs under CGTMSE should be made applicable as prior
to amalgamation, dispensing with 2 years Balance Sheet?
“Arise, awake, and
stop not till the goal is
reached”
