- 4. India & Sustainable Development Role of ICT With a huge rural population, that is economically challenged Financial Inclusion is indispensible for the sustainable growth of India. A holistic financial inclusion could be expedited with the maximum use of Information, Communication and Technology-enabled services supported by an extensive Financial Literacy mission.
- 5. Former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan said: ”The stark reality is that most poor people in the world still lack access to sustainable financial services, whether it is savings, credit or insurance. The great challenge before us is to address the constraints that exclude people from full participation in the financial sector. Together, we can and must build inclusive financial sectors that help people improve their lives.”
- 6. Financial Inclusion –A Definition Three main concerns in financial inclusion: access to banking access to affordable credit access to free face-to-face financial advice. 'Financial Inclusion' is defined as an extension of banking and financial services at an affordable cost to unbanked people of the community. 'Financial Exclusion' signifies the lack of access (by the economically poor and unbanked people of society) to appropriate, low-cost, fair and safe financial products and services.
- 7. Dr. C. Rangarajan committee on financial inclusion "Financial inclusion may be defined as the process of ensuring access to financial services and timely and adequate credit where needed by vulnerable groups such as weaker sections and low income groups at an affordable cost." The financial services include the entire range - savings, loans, insurance, credit, payments etc. The financial system has to provide its function of transferring resources from surplus to deficit units but both deficit and surplus units are those with low incomes, poor background etc. By providing these services, the aim is to help them come out of poverty. So far, the focus has only been on delivering credit (it is called as microfinance but is microcredit) and has been quite successful. Similar success has to be seen in other aspect of finance as well.
- 8. Financial Exclusion: Reasons Lack of information: Lack of information about the role and function of banks, banking services and products, interest rates, etc. stop people from including themselves in mainstream banking. Insufficient documentation: Many people (even in metropolis and urban areas) are unable to show their self identification documents during the opening of a bank account or during taking a loan. Lack of awareness: Many people are unaware of the banking terms and conditions laid down from time to time. High transaction charges : Various commercial banks across the globe levy transaction charges on credit or debit transactions, on over usage of banking services, on cheque book issuance etc Lack of access: Accessibility is a problem from all those people who live in geopolitically isolated regions. Moreover, as most of the commercial banks are located in the vicinity of cities, people in rural areas (mainly in developing countries) have a geographical barrier in accessing banks. Illiteracy: Because of illiteracy, a substantial number of people are unable to take recourse to banking services.
- 9. Challenges In Financial Inclusion Several challenges like large area, cost of small value transactions, weak delivery model, unsuitable products, infrastructure, lack of finances, management support have to be effectively dealt with. The automation of core banking processes with the use of channels such as ATM, IVR based Tele-banking, Internet banking, the banking industry has become more profitable. Banks however, face an uphill task of reaching out to the mass customers in remote areas such as villages. Naxal Movement, low Return –OnInvestment (ROI), customer behavior, operating expenses inhibits banks from expansion in rural areas.
- 10. The Scenario & Actions 1 Financial Inclusion is needed for rural and downtrodden masses that are the future growth engine of the economy . From the recent initiatives undertaken by the different world governments to foster financial inclusion, one cannot undermine the need to include the economically underprivileged in the mainstream banking sector . The role of various ICT tools and associated technologies in providing financial solutions to the unbanked is also substantial. Rural ATMs, plastic cards (like smart cards, biometric cards, etc.) and mobile payment technologies do have the ability to engage the unbanked sections . Steps have been taken by the Government for the expansion of banking services and linking of opportunities among various segments of financial sector like capital markets, insurance, etc. to achieve its aim of Inclusive Growth.
- 11. The Scenario & Actions 2 High GDP growth in India , Triggered by an open economy has created job opportunities in urban and semi-urban India and it will go further into rural India, increasing the potential for growth to vast sections of disadvantaged and low income groups. Commercial banks are making use of the services of non-governmental organizations (NGOs/SHGs), micro-finance institutions, NBFCs, etc. as intermediaries for providing financial and banking services which could be used as business facilitators (BF) or business correspondents (BC) by them. Government initiatives to support FI needs to be backed by progressive policies. This can be achieved only through Public- Private Partnership Model powered by ubiquitous technologies.
