Detailed Coverage :

ਭਾਰਤ ਆਪਣੇ ਦੋ ਦਹਾਕਿਆਂ ਪੁਰਾਣੇ ਬਿਜ਼ਨਸ ਕੋਰੇਸਪੌਂਡੈਂਟ (BC) ਨੈੱਟਵਰਕ, ਜੋ ਦੁਨੀਆ ਦਾ ਸਭ ਤੋਂ ਵੱਡਾ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਜਿਸ ਵਿੱਚ ਲਗਭਗ 2.5 ਮਿਲੀਅਨ ਏਜੰਟ ਜ਼ਮੀਨੀ ਪੱਧਰ 'ਤੇ ਕੰਮ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ, ਵਿੱਚ ਇੱਕ ਵੱਡਾ ਢਾਂਚਾਗਤ ਬਦਲਾਅ (overhaul) ਲਿਆਉਣ ਦੀ ਤਿਆਰੀ ਕਰ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ। ਨੈਸ਼ਨਲ ਇੰਸਟੀਚਿਊਟ ਆਫ ਬੈਂਕ ਮੈਨੇਜਮੈਂਟ (NIBM) ਨੇ ਆਪਣੀ ਸਮੀਖਿਆ ਪੂਰੀ ਕਰ ਲਈ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਸੁਧਾਰਾਂ ਲਈ ਸੁਝਾਵਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਇੱਕ ਵਿਸਤ੍ਰਿਤ ਰਿਪੋਰਟ ਪੇਸ਼ ਕੀਤੀ ਹੈ। ਅਗਲੇ ਸਾਲ ਤੋਂ, ਵੱਖ-ਵੱਖ ਬੈਂਕ, ਬਿਜ਼ਨਸ ਕੋਰੇਸਪੌਂਡੈਂਟ ਖੁਦ, ਅਤੇ ਰਿਜ਼ਰਵ ਬੈਂਕ ਆਫ ਇੰਡੀਆ (ਜਿਸਨੂੰ ਮਿੰਟ ਰੋਡ ਵੀ ਕਿਹਾ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ) ਵਰਗੇ ਮੁੱਖ ਹਿੱਸੇਦਾਰ (stakeholders) ਕੁਝ ਸੋਧਾਂ ਪੇਸ਼ ਕਰਨਗੇ।

The central focus of this initiative is to enhance the financial viability and overall upgrade of the BC channel. A key area causing concern among stakeholders involves several aspects, one of which is the proposed implementation of a national certification standard for agents. This standard is planned to be tiered, with distinct levels such as basic and advanced, aiming to professionalize the workforce and ensure quality service delivery.

Impact: This overhaul has the potential to significantly boost financial inclusion across India, ensuring that banking services reach even the most remote areas more effectively. It could lead to improved operational efficiency for banks, enhance customer trust through standardized services, and potentially create new growth opportunities for business correspondents. However, the implementation of new standards and potential fee structures might also present challenges for existing agents. Rating: 7/10
