Abstract
Financial inclusion is nothing but providing the banking facilities to all at an affordable cost. It has been a vital challenge for Govt. of India and other financial regulators for a long time in spite of taking many initiatives. Derivation of payment banks emerged with the first budget speech of the Hon’ble Finance Minister; Mr. Arun Jaitley mentioned “RBI to create a framework for licensing small banks and other differentiated banks”. Considering socio-economic condition across the length and breadth of the country, Payment banks with special guidelines have been injected in the banking platform to be fully networked and technology driven in order to accelerate the periphery of financial inclusion by providing especially remittance services to the unbanked. This study attempts to review the parameter of financial inclusion and find the impact of India Post Payment Bank (IPPB) in financial inclusion. The present study is exploratory and descriptive in nature based on secondary data. The results show a positive impact on financial inclusion by IPPB as it leverages its Aadhaar enabled Payment System (AePS) services, interoperable doorstep banking services and huge network of postal employees. This can be forecasted that it will ignite the digital financial inclusion drive in isolated areas and erect an economy without cash based.
