The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) asked banks to draw a roadmap to provide financial services to all villages with a population of over 2,000 by March 2012, not necessarily a bank branch. As part of the RBI's strategy on financial inclusion, there would be an intermediate target to be achieved by March 2011.

The RBI has asked the banks to include criteria on financial literacy and financial inclusion in the performance evaluation of their filed staff.
