The Reserve Bank of India [Get Quote] will soon appoint an external agency to assess the claims of complete financial inclusion in different states of the country.
"An external agency will provide an impartial check on the quality of coverage of financial inclusion," the apex bank's Executive Diretor V S Das told reporters on the sidelines of a FICCI-organised banking conference in Mumbai on Wednesday.
Incidentally, the Union Territory of Puducherry and Himachal Pradesh have reported a 100 per cent financial inclusion.
At the regional level, a forum called the State Level Bankers' Committee, a group of bankers and government officials and convened by a bank having a major presence in the state, reviews the financial inclusion projects in various states.
"While Puducherry and Himachal Pradesh have achieved a 10 per cent financial inclusion, states like Kerala, Karnataka and Gujarat are making fast progress," Das said.
