As per PMMY guidelines, 34,697 loan accounts amounting to more than Rs 4,930 crore, as on June 2025, have been sanctioned under this newly introduced category, she said in reply to a question by Congress MP Randeep Surjewala.

In reply to another question, Sitharaman said a National Mission on
Financial Inclusion
(NMFI), namely,
Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana
(PMJDY), was launched in August 2014 to provide universal
banking services
for every unbanked household, based on the guiding principles of banking the unbanked, securing the unsecured, and funding the unfunded.
To give impetus to financial inclusion initiatives of the government, she said, PMJDY was extended beyond August 14, 2018, by making the scheme more attractive.
Banks regularly conduct financial literacy camps in villages, rural and remote areas to educate customers about benefits available on RuPay Debit Card, Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) withdrawals using RuPay Debit cards and safe digital payments instead of cash transactions, she said.
Business Correspondents (BCs) are trained to help customers use RuPay Debit cards at micro-ATMs, she said.
Further, she said, Banks communicate to customers regularly through SMS/email for nudging them to use their RuPay Debit cards at Point of Sale (PoS) & e-Commerce Channel.
With the purpose of improving the implementation of PMJDY, Scheduled Commercial Banks, including Private Sector Banks, have been conducting regular awareness camps at the grassroots level to promote PMJDY, she said.
Additionally, a review mechanism is in place to regularly monitor the implementation and effectiveness of the scheme with banks and other relevant stakeholders, she added.

Held annually on Aug 6, the event celebrates her remarkable life, legacy, and contributions, continuing to inspire future leaders. A native of Visakhapatnam and a distinguished alumna of IIM Ahmedabad, Vani Row was a globally respected consultant and investment banker who left an indelible mark in both India and the United States before her untimely demise. The chief guest, Uma Sudhindra, member of the board of governors at IIMV, delivered the keynote address. Drawing from more than three decades of people-focused professional experience, she offered insights on personal branding as a strategy, emphasising the core principles of clarity, consistency, credibility, and visibility. IIMV dean (administration) prof Kaveri Krishnan and IIM Vizag director Prof M Chandrasekhar reflected on the establishment of the Vani Row Memorial Incubation Centre, inaugurated on the same occasion in 2024. The Centre, made possible through a generous endowment by Dr. B R L Row, father of Vani Row, currently supports over 180 startups, many of them led by women entrepreneurs, carrying forward Vani Row's vision of empowerment. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Switch to UnionBank Rewards Card UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo A particularly moving segment featured reflections from recipients of the Vani Row memorial gold medal, awarded each year to the top performing woman student of the MBA programme.
