Consequently financial inclusion plays an indispensable role in inclusive growth of an economy. In simple terms financial inclusion strives to address the challenge of poor access of financial services to rural masses in India. Financial inclusion stands for delivery of appropriate financial services at an affordable cost, on timely basis to vulnerable groups such as low income groups and weaker section who lack access to even the most basic banking services The origin of financial inclusion can be traced back to the year when United Nation initiatives were undertaken which specified the provision of credit, insurance, savings and other banking services to all bankable households.‟ Government of India has been very active towards improving the level of financial inclusion and for this numerous efforts have been undertaken by government. Through this paper an attempt has been made to provide an overview on status of financial inclusion in India in past few years.
