23 October 2026
Banks in Chhattisgarh are holding camps under the Financial Inclusion Saturation Campaign from 21 October to 31 December 2026, on the Union Finance Ministry's directions.
The camps cover 11,689 gram panchayats and urban local bodies across 146 development blocks in all 33 districts of the state.
Deepak Kumar Abhishek, convenor of the State Level Bankers' Committee for Chhattisgarh and a Deputy General Manager of the State Bank of India, said every bank's branches are running camps in nearby panchayats and urban bodies.
The drive enrols people in the Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana, the Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana and the Atal Pension Yojana, opens new Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana accounts and revives dormant ones.
It also seeds Aadhaar for insurance schemes, completes re-KYC, records nominations and opens accounts for families of Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups.
The accident cover under the Suraksha Bima Yojana is up to Rs 2 lakh for ages 18 to 70 at a yearly premium of Rs 20, while the Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana gives Rs 2 lakh life cover for ages 18 to 50 at Rs 436 a year.
Kisan Credit Card applications are being taken from Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi beneficiaries, and the 'Your Capital, Your Right' campaign tells people about unclaimed financial assets.
