Abstract

This short article dwells upon the concept of financial inclusion (FI) of a population, discusses it around the banking sector and its role in this context. It then considers measuring FI and suggests a few new quantitative measures of the same, along with their data requirements, which are not difficult to meet in practice. A brief mention is made about the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) and its implications. Scope for some further work is indicated.
