Banking is one of the important factors supporting the growth and development of the economy of a country. For achieving growth, it is very important to ensure that the banking services are available everywhere in the country and every individual is getting access to banking services. In India, majority of the population is not able to access the banking services due to many reasons. Financial inclusion is the concept introduced for providing access to banking services and facilities to rural poor and low income groups. Financial Inclusion means the delivery of financial services to vast sections of disadvantaged and low income groups at an affordable cost. Commercial Banks can play a vital role in the implementation of financial inclusion and support for the growth and development of the people and country. This paper is mainly focusing on financial inclusion and role of commercial banks in financial inclusion.
