In the Mid Term Review of the policy(2005-2006), RBI exhorted the banks with a view to have better financial inclusion, to make the availability of No Frills account either with zero balance or very low minimum balances as well as low charges that would make such accounts available to the vast section of the population. The nature of the account and the number of transaction in such accounts would be restricted and…
