A Study on The Role of Equitas Small Finance Bank In Promoting Financial Inclusion

Financial inclusion has emerged as one of the most significant priorities in the Indian banking and economic system. It refers to the process of ensuring access to timely, affordable and adequate financial services to vulnerable and low-income groups at an affordable cost. These services include savings, credit, insurance, remittance facilities and digital payment systems. In a developing country like India, where a large section of the population lives in rural and semi-urban areas, financial inclusion plays a vital role in reducing poverty, generating employment, empowering women and promoting overall economic development.
