The major obstacles in generating financial inclusion for Urban Poor is lack of understanding of basic rights allowing the touts to take over their interests. Urban Poor is mainly less educated but theyvery well understand Business finance

India has around 403 million mobile users of whom, about 46% , or 187 million , don't even have bank accounts. People can do without bank accounts but not mobile phones. Nearly 400 million Indians have bank accounts. That’s less than 40% of the country’s population. About 40% Indians have check-in accounts. 51 out of every 100 Indians had bank accounts in 1993. This has marginally gone up to 54 in 2007. 59% of adult population in India has bank accounts and that there is a large gap between the coverage of banking services in urban and rural pockets. In rural India, the coverage among the adult population is 39% against 60% in urban India. This, of course, doesn’t necessarily mean that 60 o...

There may not be any problem with No Frill A/s. This is all a savings account barring some minor aspects. In Banks one may open this a/c with Rs 50/- or without any money. Requirements of papers for KYC is bare menimum. No minimum balance...

What needs to be done is to come up with a sure-fire to make sure that No Frills Accounts opened, will be used. If No Frills Accounts are used to deliver government assistance, account holders would be more incentivised to use their accounts.

A hallmark of corporate and/or brand partnership is that they advance both the mission of SICU and the business purpose of the company or brand. They are mutually beneficial relationships that involve the exchange of something of value from each participant to the other and involve clear responsibilities, shared contributions, and shared risk. There is no cookie-cutter approach to partnerships between companies and SICU as a Virtual Organization and Strategic Alliance. They can take a variety of forms and each evolves under different circumstances and with different goals. The following discusses some common kinds of collaborations between businesses and SICU. Please note that these descr...

Dear Ajay, You might be right but my intention is first of all to introduce different types of partnerships, though this one of the core areas SICU is specialized in.
