Reflecting deepening of financial inclusion and sustained financial literacy initiatives, the data released by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has showed that the Financial Inclusion Index (FI-Index), which captures the extent of financial inclusion across the country, improved to 67.0 in March 2025 from 64.2 in March 2024.
The annual FI-Index was first published in August 2021 for the fiscal ending March 2021. Index for the year ending March 2025 has since been compiled. All the three sub-indices of the FI-Index - access, usage and quality - witnessed growth in FY25. Improvement in FI-Index in FY25 is contributed by Usage and Quality dimensions.
The FI-Index has been conceptualised as a comprehensive index incorporating details of banking, investments, insurance, postal as well as the pension sector in consultation with Government and respective sectoral regulators. The index captures information on various aspects of financial inclusion in a single value ranging between 0 and 100, where 0 represents complete financial exclusion and 100 indicates full financial inclusion.
