What is Financial Inclusion?

It aimed to provide access to affordable and appropriate financial products and services, such as savings accounts, credit, insurance, and payment systems.
The Reserve Bank has been promoting financial inclusion through various policy initiatives.
To measure the extent of financial inclusion the central bank had constructed the Financial Inclusion (FI) Index in 2021.
It is based on three dimensions of financial inclusion — ‘Access’, ‘Usage’ and ‘Quality’.
The FI-Index has been conceptualised as a comprehensive index incorporating details of banking, investments, insurance, postal as well as the pension sector in consultation with the government and respective sectoral regulators.
The index captures information on various aspects of financial inclusion in a single value ranging between 0 and 100, where 0 represents complete financial exclusion and 100 indicates full financial inclusion.
