In the last 2.5 months, the Ministry of Finance has opened more than 61 lakh new bank accounts, and has created more than 2.6 crore fresh enrolments in its three flagship insurance schemes as a part of its three-month Financial Inclusion Saturation Campaign, the Ministry said on Tuesday (September 16, 2025).
Launched on July 1, 2025, the campaign was conducted by the Department of Financial Services with an aim to include every last person in the country under financial inclusion schemes.
“The campaign’s primary objective is to extend the reach of flagship schemes — Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana [PMJDY], Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana [PMJJBY], Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana [PMSBY], and Atal Pension Yojana [APY] to all eligible individuals across the country,” the Ministry said in a release.
Towards this, camps are being conducted in all the 2.7 lakh gram panchayats and urban local bodies. So far, 2.3 lakh camps have been organised with 15 days left in the three-month period.
