Bank-wise Shadow Area Villages
Model Ensures
• Brick and mortar structure of financial point within 5 km.
• Cleaning of Accounts.• Updating of data of beneficiaries of various Social
Sector Schemes.• Pension schemes based on recurring deposits can be
developed under this model.• Banks to branch out like granting loans, financial
literacy drive, selling of insurance etc.

mortar (100sq feet space provided in E-Panchayat Bhavan).
State Government facilitating
• To banks to set up Ultra Small Bank.• Providing Rent Free Accommodation in each
Panchayat.• Separate e-Panchayat Room for USB.• Fully furnished room with free internet
connectivity.
Issues with Banks
• RBI has already agreed for geographical distance approach
• The definition of unbanked areas• Need that SLBC approves the list of opening
branch in unbanked rural banks• SMALL BANK norm as business proposition to
be understood by the banks.
Issues with Post Office• Old instruction of post office having account only in
District HQ commercial bank: resulting in two months of delayed payments due to late clearance of cheque.
• The new order to open Account in nearest Commercial Banks to be executed immediately
• Non-Core banking/Computerization• Cash carry limits to be enhanced
Issues with UID
• UID enables to only identify the individual as declared by him/her
• Biometrics for payment is the only issue• Monitoring requires family data i.e. family to
be provided 100days of employment• MP Model propose to use combination of NPR
and UID
Issues related to MORD
• The system of payment through banks in state of MP is 100%.
• Once account is opened it should be multi-purpose for all the schemes of the Government/Financial Inclusion:- payments, housing subsidy, pensions, fertilizer subsidy, food-subsidy etc.. Along with enabling factor for deposits etc..
The Model in Action
Case Study of district.• T+3 system an integrated model of ongoing
initiatives by various financial institutions.• T+3 system for NREGS workers to enable them
to received payment within 3 days.• Android based facilities to generate e- Pay
Orders.
