Bank had originally allocated 2864 villages with population above 2000 under financial inclusion by various SLBCs/DCCs. Further -06- more villages were re-allocated to our bank in March 2012 in the state of West Bengal and Nagaland. Thus Bank was allocated total 2870 villages under financial inclusion.

Out of which 2752 villages are covered through BC Model, 40 through Mobile van, 50 by opening Bricks & Mortar branches and rest -28- are later re-allocated/ excluded by SLBCs (6 villages are having our existing branches excluded from FI by SLBC, 1 villages reported twice by SLBC and 21 allocated to other banks by SLBCs).
