Nearly 88 million bank accounts have been created
under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's pet project Jan Dhan Yojana.
According to an official release, 87.6 million bank accounts
were registered along with 57.8 million RuPay Cards under the scheme so far.
The banks were directed by the government to open at
least one account for an adult member of every household.
As per the government survey the household coverage
has increased to 89 per cent but around 21.8 million households are still
uncovered.
Banks have been tasked to cover all the households
before the end of December and seek public feedback to ascertain and open
accounts for the leftover households.
"Banks were asked to develop a system to
redress the complaint in three days where no investigation is required and in
seven days where detailed investigation is required," stated an official press
release.
