Knowledge Nugget: RBI's Financial Inclusion Index – A must-know for UPSC aspirants
Take a look at the essential concepts, terms, quotes, or phenomena every day and brush up on your knowledge. Here's your knowledge nugget on the Financial Inclusion Index of the RBI. (Relevance: Questions have been asked in UPSC Prelims and Mains on financial inclusion. RBI, tasked with managing the country's monetary policy, publishes such indices to provide an overview of initiatives taken for financial inclusion. In this regard, this is a must-do topic for your exam.) Financial inclusion across the country improved to 67 in March 2025, up from 64.2 in March 2024, according to the recently released Financial Inclusion Index (FI-Index) by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). 'Improvement in FI-Index in FY2025 is contributed by usage and quality dimensions, reflecting deepening of financial inclusion, and sustained financial literacy initiatives,' the RBI said in a release. 1. 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. 2. A unique feature of the index is the quality parameter which captures the quality aspect of financial inclusion as reflected by financial literacy, consumer protection, and inequalities and deficiencies in services. 3. 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. 4. The FI-Index comprises of three broad parameters: Access (having a weight of 35 per cent in the index), Usage (weight 45 per cent), and Quality ( weight 20 per cent). The weight of each parameter comprises various dimensions, which are calculated based on a number of indicators. 5. The FI-Index has been constructed without any base year, and as such it reflects cumulative efforts of all stakeholders over the years towards financial inclusion. It is published annually in July every year. 'Financial inclusion has been a key tool used by policymakers and governments globally to reduce inequalities, strengthen livelihoods of people at the bottom of the pyramid, and spur growth,' Soumya Kanti Ghosh wrote in the Indian Express. 📍Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY): It was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on August 28, 2014, with a mission of financial Inclusion to ensure access to financial services, namely, basic savings & deposit accounts, remittance, credit, insurance, pension in an affordable manner. Under the PMJDY, there are no account opening charges, no account maintenance charges, and no minimum balance charges. Free RuPay debit card, with in-built accident insurance cover of Rs 2 lakh, and access to overdraft facility of up to Rs 10,000, are other major features of the scheme. PMJDY accounts are eligible for Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY), Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY), Atal Pension Yojana (APY), Micro Units Development & Refinance Agency Bank (MUDRA) scheme. 📍Digital India: It was launched on July 1, 2015, by the Union Government with the vision to transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy. It comprises various initiatives under a single programme, each targeted to prepare India for becoming a knowledge economy and for bringing good governance to citizens through synchronised and coordinated engagement of the entire government. Bharat Interface for Money (BHIM) App, Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN), Pradhan Mantri Gramin Digital Saksharta Abhiyan (PMGDISHA), Aarogya Setu app, Digital India BHASHINI, and Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) are some of the initiatives under the Digital India programme. 📍Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY): It is a one-year life insurance Scheme renewable from year to year. It offers coverage of Rs. Two lacs for death due to any reason and is available to people in the age group of 18 to 50 years having a bank account. 📍Aadhar inclusion: The pillar of financial inclusion is the JAM (Jan Dhan, Aadhaar, Mobile) trinity, which has expanded the coverage of direct benefit transfers. Through the implementation of its biometric identification system 'Aadhar', the government has enabled easy accessibility for opening bank accounts, and thus leading to financial inclusion. 📍Atal Pension Yojna: Launched in 2015 by the Government of India, the scheme is particularly targeted at unorganised sector workers, who often lack access to formal pension schemes. APY encourages workers to save voluntarily for their retirement, thereby ensuring a secure financial future. Under APY, the subscribers would receive the fixed minimum pension of Rs. 1000 per month, Rs. 2000 per month, Rs. 3000 per month, Rs. 4000 per month and Rs. 5000 per month at the age of 60 years, depending on their contributions, which itself would be based on the age of joining APY. The age bracket for joining APY is 18 to 40 years. 📍Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY): It is a one-year personal accident insurance Scheme, renewable annually. It provides coverage for death/disability due to an accident and is available to people in the age group of 18 to 70 years, having a bank account and who give their consent to join and enable auto-debit. 1.

More women in rural areas can conduct online banking transactions, as the proportion of females that could perform them surged to 30.0 per cent in the first quarter of 2025, sharply higher than 17.1 per cent in 2022-23. 3. As per the survey's results, 51.4 per cent of females in rural areas in the 15-24 years age bracket reported the ability to perform online banking transactions, more than double the 19.6 per cent in 2022-23 as per the ministry's Comprehensive Annual Modular Survey for 2022-23 (July-June), released in October 2024. 4.

It's time for a holistic strategy to foster women's entrepreneurship
Over the past 25 years, the share of women-owned enterprises in the Indian economy has been steadily rising, a promising development amid the concerns surrounding low female labour force participation. We ask, what lies behind this growth? How large are these enterprises? Do they operate primarily in manufacturing or services? Are they concentrated in specific industries within these sectors? Crucially, what are the constraints faced by women-owned enterprises, and how can we fully tap the potential of such enterprises? Data from the Economic Census (EC) of India shows a steady increase in women-owned enterprises between 1998 and 2013, both in manufacturing and services. We observe sharp growth particularly between 2005 and 2013, even among firms that have more than 10 paid workers. Also read: Women entrepreneurs need a tribe of their very own We combine data from older rounds (2010 and 2015) with the most recent rounds (2021, 2022 and 2023) of the unorganized sector enterprise survey, with the caveat that these primarily cover informal, unregistered enterprises. Here too, we observe an upward trajectory of own-account enterprises and those with more than one worker in manufacturing and services both. Within manufacturing, the increase in women-owned enterprises is mostly in select industries, namely tobacco, food and beverages, paper and chemicals; for services, the growth is led by sectors like education and other personal services. The growth of women-led enterprises can drive economic development. By engaging more women in income-generating and productive activities, a substantial segment of the population—previously not actively participating in the economy—can be brought into the workforce. This impact is amplified by the phenomenon of employment homophily, where individuals tend to hire others similar to themselves. For example, the 2013 EC reported that 65% of employees in women-owned businesses were women. Therefore, encouraging women's entrepreneurship could create more jobs for women, improving India's overall women's labour force participation. The rise in women's entrepreneurship is in tandem with recent financial inclusion initiatives by the government and Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Following the launch of the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) in 2014, India's banking sector saw a steep rise in the share of bank accounts held by women. According to the ministry of finance (2024 data), 55.6% of PMJDY beneficiaries are women. As for women entrepreneurs, the enterprises survey shows that the share of women owners with a bank account has gone up from 40% in 2015 to 61% in 2023. This has enabled credit access, increasing the share of loan accounts held by women. Moreover, targeted schemes offered by banks under their Priority Sector Lending goals have also increased credit flow to women, particularly in rural areas. Also read: Women's participation in the labour force: It's too risky to let it languish The Pradhan Mantri MUDRA Yojana launched in 2015 also aims to ease credit constraints through collateral-free loans with flexible repayment tenures and concessional rates for women borrowers. The share of MUDRA loan accounts held by women increased dramatically from about 18% in 2015 to 36% in 2024. Similarly, the female share of retail business loan accounts rose from 19.9% to 30.7%. This trend is reflected in the enterprise data, where commercial banks, cooperative banks and government schemes account for up to a third of outstanding loans to women-owned enterprises in 2023. Another constraint faced by women is their lack of property rights, which deprives them of collateral against which they can borrow. Lakshmi Narayanan (2019) finds that amendments to India's property-rights laws to ease women's inheritance of property strengthened their rights and paved the way for more women entrepreneurs. While targeted financial integration is expected to close gender gaps in credit access, social norms and lack of awareness contribute to gender disparities in entrepreneurship. There is ample evidence that women are influenced by role models and peers, particularly other women in leadership positions, not just in developing countries but in developed ones as well. Given this, how do we bring more women into entrepreneurship? The government has started the Women Entrepreneurship Platform to identify and mentor women entrepreneurs who want to start businesses and provide knowledge as well as hands-on support for doing so. There have been several initiatives in specific sectors to leverage this platform. The steady rise in women's entrepreneurship in India is a promising development, but significant challenges remain. While financial inclusion has opened new doors, deep-rooted social norms, limited property rights and weak support networks continue to constrain many women. Credit access and training, though essential, are not sufficient on their own. A more holistic approach is needed, one that combines financial support with legal empowerment, mentorship, access to networks and sector-specific interventions. The Women Entrepreneurship Platform is a step in this direction. As more women enter and sustain themselves in entrepreneurial roles, gender-disaggregated data and a careful evaluation of policy initiatives will also be critical.
