A Critical Review of Progress of Prdhaan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojnaa (PMJDY) : State Level Variation

(Yogesh Kumar, Joint Director, Institute of Applied Manpower Research, Planning Commission, Govt of India) In his first Independence Speech Prime Minister of India announced the National Mission on Financial Inclusion titled Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojna (PMJDY). Under the Jan Dhan Yojna anyone who is India citizen above age of 10 years and does not have a bank account,

can open the account with zero balance. Account can be opened in any bank branch or Business Correspondent

(Bank Mitr) outlet, specially designed for the purpose of opening the accounts under this scheme. The scheme also

provides facility of accidental insurance cover up to rupees one lac without any charge for the account holder.

The account holders under the jan dhan yojana will be given a RuPay debit card which can be used at all ATMs for

cash withdrawal and at most of the retail outlets for making transaction for purchases.

Salient features of the scheme

All households across the country - both rural and urban are to be covered under the scheme. Bank accounts will be opened for 15 crore poor persons.

All bank accounts opened under the scheme are to have an overdraft facility of Rs 5,000 for Aadhar-linked accounts after satisfactory operation in the account for 6 months.

Issuance of RuPay Debit Card with inbuilt Rs 1 lakh personal accident insurance cover provided by HDFC Ergo and a life cover of Rs 30,000 provided by LIC

A minimum monthly remuneration of Rs 5,000 to business correspondents who will provide the last link between the account holders and the bank.

Implementation of the scheme

The mission will be implemented in two phases, the details of which are as follows.

Phase I - 15 August 2014 - 14 August 2015

Universal access to banking facilities for all households across the country through a bank branch or a fixed point Business Correspondent (BC) within a reasonable distance.

To cover all households with atleast one basic banking account with RuPay Debit Card with inbuilt Rs 1 lakh accident insurance cover.

Financial literacy programme to be taken to the village level. Expansion of Direct Benefit Transfer under various government schemes through bank accounts of the

beneficiaries. Issuance of Kisan Credit Card is also proposed

Phase II - 15 August 2015 - 14 August 2018

Providing micro-insurance to the people. Unorganised sector pension schemes like Swavalamban through the Business Correspondents.

Benefits of Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana PMJDY scheme is planning on revolutionizing the traditional banking system in India by providing the banking

opportunity and insurance coverage to all including the poor. The purpose of this scheme will definitely benefit the

overall economy of the country and the scheme provides some lucrative benefits which should certainly be availed

and considered. Here is listed some important benefits of the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojna (PMJDY) scheme

1. Life insurance under Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana

Under the PMJDY scheme the account holders will be given worth Rs.30000 insurance coverage if they

comply with certain specification of the scheme which includes opening an account by January 26, 2015

and having an accidental insurance coverage of over Rs. 200000.

2. Loan benefits under Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana

The account holder can take loan benefit of up to Rs.5000 from the bank after six months from opening the

account. Though the amount might seem insignificant for many but we have to realize the scheme is

directed mostly towards people below the poverty line and who are struggling desperately to sustain their

everyday living.

3. Mobile banking facilities under Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana

Though the technology of using smart phones to conduct our bank transactions is not novel anymore but

the PMJDY scheme will allow its account holders to avail the same facilities of checking balance and

transferring funds through a normal cell phone which is more affordable to the general economy.

Wide positive difference between the percentage share of accounts under the scheme from percentage share of

population of the States (depicted above) indicate Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan seem to have

taken a lead in adopting the scheme. On the other hand, the states of Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Bihar followed by

Kerala seem to be lagging behind in terms of coverage of population as the negative directed bar chart in the graph

indicates.

Haryana, Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal too indicate a positive difference, depicting a more than average

performance, while States of Gujarat, and Uttar Pradesh exhibit less than average negative. All other states do not differ much from zero, indicating that percentage share of accounts opened in those states

are almost equivalent to the States’ share of population.

Lorenz Curve1 Taking clue from above graph, it is attempted to draw a kind of Lorenz curve comparing cumulative total of States’ Population vs. Accounts under PMJDY coverage while States are arranged in increasing order of percent population. A graphical representation of distribution representing the inequality among the population distribution as also the distribution of accounts could indicate the variation between the states, i.e. greater is the distance between two graphs more is the inter-state variations.

As both the indicators indicate close proximity with small deviations, it warrants a deeper examination state-wise.

As such it is also attempted to do a range analysis using the UNDP methodology comparing states population

coverage under scheme with highest level of coverage of population in any state. While the actual differential of the

state is numerator, denominator is maximum differential between two states.

Gini Ratio The Gini coefficient (or Gini ratio) is a summary statistic of the Lorenz curve and a measure of inequality in a

population. The Gini coefficient is most easily calculated from unordered size data as the "relative mean

difference," i.e., the mean of the difference between every possible pair of individuals, divided by the mean size ,

(Dixon et al. 1987, Damgaard and Weiner 2000). Alternatively, if the data is ordered by increasing size of

individuals, is given by

1 The Lorenz curve is a function of the cumulative proportion of ordered individuals mapped onto the corresponding cumulative proportion of their size. Given a sample of ordered individuals with the size of individual and , then the sample Lorenz curve is the polygon joining the points

, where , 1, 2, ... , , and . Alternatively, the Lorenz curve can be expressed as

(Dixon et al. 1988, Damgaard and Weiner 2000), correcting the typographical error in the denominator given in the original paper (Dixon et al. 1987). Gini Coefiicient Values comes out to be

1. Gini For Accounts differential from Line of Equality = 0.148352

2. Gini For Population Differential from Line of Equality = 0.125111

The Net Differential in two Gini ratios is just 0.023241. This net differential of 2 per cent or so is unable to capture inter-state variations, as also making judgments with respect to relative performance differential Range Analysis: Another way of analysis as attempted by the UNDP comparing the states and their relative diiferentials from maximum and minimum attained amongst the States: The UNDP has developed a set of composite indices such as human development index (HDI), Human Poverty Index (HPI) and Gender related Development Index (GDI) for measuring the level of development and disparities among the countries in the world. Formula hence is

Ax = (Actual Value)x – (Minimum Value)x Bx= (Maximum Value)x – (Minimum Value)x Rx= Ax/Bx

Difference is maximum in case of Kerala which means the percentage of population covered is minimum in the state. Next in terms of low coverage is Goa and Himachal Pradesh (relative deprivation level 7) followed by Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, and J & K. (10-12 per cent coverage, and relative deprivation level 6). Relative deprivation level is 5 for Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Jharkhand, and Bihar. Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Assam, Punjab, Odisha and Uttarakhand have deprivation score of 4 performing better than the earlier discussed states. A much better coverage of population is found in Haryana and Rajasthan, while Madhya Pradesh has second highest coverage of population under the scheme. The best coverage with almost a third population covered vide the scheme is found in Chhattisgarh. Inclusive Growth As the scheme envisages to cater to the principle of inclusive growth covering hitherto uncovered sections of populace to be brought under the banking/saving and rightful coverage of unprotected segments, an attempt is made to look into
