Bengaluru : The Financial Inclusion Saturation Campaign is being undertaken across Bengaluru Urban District from October 28 to December 31, 2026, across 85 Gram Panchayats in the District with the objective of extending the benefits of banking and financial services to every eligible citizen.
The campaign focuses on strengthening financial inclusion by ensuring access to essential banking facilities, social security schemes and credit support for eligible beneficiaries. The Lead Bank Office, Bengaluru Urban District, is coordinating efforts with Gram Panchayats, Banks and other stakeholders to promote awareness and improve the coverage of various government-sponsored financial inclusion schemes.
The major focus areas of the campaign include enrolment under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY), Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY), Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY) and Atal Pension Yojana (APY).
Other important activities include Aadhaar seeding and e-KYC of bank accounts, completion of re-KYC formalities, issuance of Central KYC (C-KYC) identifiers, opening of eligible accounts, financial literacy and awareness programmes, dissemination of information about banking services, and resolution of customer grievances.
Special emphasis is being placed on reaching eligible individuals who have not yet availed themselves of the benefits of these schemes. The initiative also aims to improve awareness of social security, insurance, pension and agricultural credit facilities, thereby promoting inclusive and sustainable economic development.
Members of the public are encouraged to visit their nearest bank branches or designated campaign camps with the necessary documents to check their eligibility and complete the required enrolment and banking formalities.
Lead District Manager Sri Vitala Gowda B, in a press release, informed that the campaign seeks to ensure that the benefits of financial inclusion reach every eligible household in Bengaluru Urban District and contribute towards a more financially secure and empowered society.
