With
a view to achieve the objective of greater financial inclusion, the
Reserve Bank of India (RBI) issued instructions to all Scheduled
Commercial Banks in November 2005, to make available a basic banking
‘no-frills’ account either with ‘nil’ or very low minimum balances as
well as charges that would make such accounts accessible to vast
sections of population. As per RBI, the number of no-frills accounts
outstanding with Public Sector Banks (excluding Regional Rural Banks)
and Private Sector Banks at end of March 2012, is 1032.06 lakhs.
