The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is intensifying its country-wide campaign to expand the reach of financial inclusion schemes, with a focus on re-KYC of bank accounts. The campaign, running from July 1 to September 30, 2025, is being conducted at the Gram Panchayat level and also aims to raise awareness about unclaimed deposits and address customer grievances.
As of August 11, 2025, over 1.41 lakh re-KYC camps have been held across the country, completing re-KYC in more than 35 lakh accounts. The progress is being closely monitored by the Government and the RBI.
To give further impetus to the initiative, RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra visited a camp at Gozaria Gram Panchayat in Mehsana, Gujarat, on August 11, accompanied by the MD & CEO of Bank of Baroda, RBI’s Regional Director, and senior officials from various banks. He interacted with customers, business correspondents, Self Help Groups, and bank representatives, stressing the need for greater collaboration between banks, the RBI, and local communities to improve access to banking services and enhance coverage of government financial inclusion schemes.
Earlier, Deputy Governor M Rajeshwar Rao visited a re-KYC camp at Ormanjhi Gram Panchayat in Ranchi on August 8 to review the coverage progress. On August 9, Deputy Governor Swaminathan J visited a camp in Thirukandalam Gram Panchayat, Tiruvallur district, Tamil Nadu, where he was joined by top officials from Indian Bank, Indian Overseas Bank, and the District Collector.
During their visits, the Deputy Governors urged customers to update their KYC details promptly to ensure uninterrupted and secure banking services, and encouraged enrolment in social security schemes. They also highlighted the camps as an opportunity for customers to raise grievances for quick resolution.
The re-KYC camps will continue until September 30, 2025, across all Gram Panchayats, and customers have been advised to make full use of the services offered.
