to the account holders. (vi)  On the issue of coverage, we have clarified that for a village to be considered covered by banking services, either a bank branch has to be present or a BC has to be visiting/present in that village. There must be a bifurcation between villages with more than 2000 population and those with less than 2000 population.
The plan needs to cover in an integrated manner both categories of villages. The name of the BC/branch covering a particular village needs to be indicated on the banks website. (vii)  Special focus on Financial Inclusion at Urban and Metro centers through a functional approach. (viii)  Involve all the stakeholders in the process.
