1 FINANCIAL INCLUSION: PRESENT SCENARIO OF PRADHAN MANTRI JAN DHAN YOJANA SCHEME IN INDIA *Dr. P. Chellasamy Associate Professor, School of commerce, Bharathiar University, Coimbatore. **Mr. R. Selvakumar ICSSR Doctoral Fellow, School of commerce, Bharathiar University, Coimbatore. ABSTRACT The Government of India desire to use the banking system as an important agent of change was at the core of most policies that were formulated after Independence. The planning strategy recognized the critical role of the availability of credit and financial services to the public at large in the holistic development of the country with the benefits of economic growth being distributed in a democratic manner. In respect of this role, the authorities modified the policy framework from time to time to ensure that the financial services needs of various segments of the society were met a satisfactory level. According to World report, Jan Dhan Yojana has failed to address the biggest challenge as the mere opening of bank accounts may not fulfill the aim of the scheme, but there should be a continuous operation of bank accounts to give the real success of the scheme. The objective of the study is to analyze the performance of participant banks in Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana scheme in India. The paper reveals that PMJDY scheme is fully helpful to rural and urban area people in getting directly the government schemes. The study concludes that, PMJDY scheme has created an impressive result in the banking sector with regard to eradication of financial untouchability in the country. Mere opening of bank accounts may not fulfill the aim of the scheme, but there should be a continuous operation of bank accounts to give the real success of the scheme. Keywords: deposit, pmjdy, ing Services, RuPay Debit Card, Financial Inclusion INTRODUCTION The National Mission on Financial Inclusion or Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana was started by the Ministry of Finance, Department of Financial Services, Government of India, with a wide vision to provide access to banking facilities to those people who are not having any bank accounts or still unbanked from the formal banking sector, so that they can also be involved in the banking sector which is necessary for economic development and for the welfare of poor people. Under this scheme people will get basic bank accounts with insurance facility and an additional facility of overdraft. Thus, they will avail benefit offered by banks and facilities provided by the government and will be able to develop small savings habits among them, and it will enhance capital formation, which will in result increase economic development of the country. Since from its inauguration on august 28, 2014 the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana scheme of financial inclusion has become very effective. The public sector banks are playing their role in making the scheme a success with approx crore accounts in rural areas and 7.30 crore accounts in urban areas and involving more and more people with formal banking system. As the purpose of financial inclusion is to provide low cost banking services and facilities to poor section and to those who are financially excluded that is why most of the accounts are opened with zero balance bank account out of cores accounts opened so far percent accounts have been opened with zero balance accounts. The debit card facility is also looking very helpful to poor people where they can withdraw money at any time and at any place according to the table Crores debit cards have been issued so far by all banks, including public, private, and rural regional banks which shows that banks are achieving their targets of financial inclusion. The data provided by the Department of Financial Services as on February 1, 2017 a total of 27 crore (270 million) bank accounts have been opened of which Rs 665 billion were deposited under the scheme. 37

2 SURVEY OF EARLIER STUDIES Hema and Divya (2014) A study on Financial Inclusion Using Pradhan Mantri Jan-Dhan Yojana A Conceptual Study The Financial inclusion means providing financial products and services to people at very low cost or providing financial services to that section of society, which do not have basic banking facilities, such as saving accounts or deposit and payment facility.1 For effective growth of economy, it is necessary to involve those people in banking sector who are not having access to banking sector, so that they can avail benefits of banking services and facilities, and develop habits of small savings. This paper is descriptive in nature and simple trend analysis is used to describe the progress of (PMJDY), the paper also described the various challenges faced by financial inclusion in India as well various steps taken by authorities to promote financial inclusion in India. The study suggests that private and public sector banks along with Government and RBI has to play much active role in the creation of awareness among deprived sections of society, and to design more innovative products for the poorest section to promote financial inclusion in India. Mohammad Sadhik, Avvamath Safeena, Jameela (2015) A study on A Study on Financial Inclusion with Special Reference to Pradhan Mantri Jan-Dhan Yojana (Pmjdy) To promote the economic growth, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a new scheme in his Independence Day speech on 15th Aug 2014, and called it as the National Mission for Financial Inclusion (NMFI) for weaker section and low income groups. While launching the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana on 28th Aug 2014, the scheme managed to open record 1.5 carries new bank accounts on the inaugural day itself. This effort will certainly go a long way in promoting economic growth and reducing poverty, while mitigating systematic risk and maintaining financial stability. For analyzing such facts secondary sources of data have been collected. It is not very much correct time to evaluate the PMJDY scheme which is only in its infant stage. But an attempt has been made in this paper to analyze the performance so far, benefits, difficulties and future prospects of the scheme. Pramahender, Narender Singh (2016) A study on Financial Inclusion: Role of Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana The Financial inclusion or inclusive financing is the delivery of financial services at affordable costs to sections of disadvantaged and low-income segments of society, in contrast to financial exclusion where those services are not available or affordable. The scheme is not only limited to opening of a bank account, but has other benefits with it viz. A Zero balance bank account with RuPay debit card, in addition to the accidental insurance cover of Rs 1 lakh, those who open accounts by January 26, 2015 over and above the Rs 1 lakh accident, they will be given life insurance cover of Rs 30,000, etc. This paper is an attempt to discuss the overview of financial inclusion using PMJDY in India STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Most of the population of India is living in rural areas, hence they have less access to the formal banking sector. The role of financial inclusion becomes active by providing banking facilities to the rural population and involving them in circle of finance. Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) is a National Mission for Financial Inclusion based on Sab ka sath sab ka Vikas i.e. inclusive growth to ensure access to financial services, namely, ing/ Savings & Deposit Accounts, Remittance, Credit, Insurance, Pension in an affordable manner, launched by Shri. Narendra Modi on 28 August On the inauguration day, 1.5 Crore bank accounts were opened under this scheme. Guinness World Records Certificate says "The most bank accounts opened in 1 week as a part of a financial inclusion campaign is 18,096,130 and was achieved by s in India from 23 to 29 August 2014". By 05 July 2017, crore accounts were opened; with around Rs 64, crore were deposited under the scheme. Even though there was an increase in the bank accounts, this scheme was not fully recognized by the rural people of India. According to World report, Jan Dhan Yojana has failed to address the biggest challenge as the mere opening of bank accounts may not fulfill the aim of the scheme, but there should be a continuous operation of bank accounts to give the real success of the scheme. Hence the researcher has framed following research questions What is the performance of Participant banks of the Pradhan Mantri Jan-Dhan Yojana scheme in India? What is the state wise performance of Pradhan Mantri Jan-Dhan Yojana scheme in India? RESEARCH OBJECTIVES To analyze the present scenario of Prdhan Manti Jan Dhan Yojana scheme in India. METHODOLOGY Sources of data The study will be based on secondary data. The data for the research will be collected from government publications, published articles, newspapers, reports, and official websites. 38
