Jan Dhan accounts(The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions)
Almost
20 per cent of the total 31 crore Jan Dhan accounts are lying dormant, the
government said on Thursday.
An
estimated 31.20 crore Jan Dhan accounts with an aggregate deposit balance of
over Rs 75,000 crore were opened till February, out of which 25.18 crore (or 81
per cent) were operative, Minister of State for Finance Shiv Pratap Shukla told
the Rajya Sabha in a written reply to a question.
This
means that over 6 crore accounts -- or 19.29 per cent -- opened under the
Pradhan Mantri Jan-Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) are lying dormant.
The
Minister added that till February, about 59 lakh (1.9 per cent) Jan Dhan
accounts had been closed since the launch of the scheme.
"Jan
Dhan accounts are closed as per the request of account holder. Some of the Jan
Dhan accounts are closed due to conversion into normal savings account as per
request of the account holder.
"In
some cases, accounts are closed due to account holders having multiple accounts
in their name in the same bank," he added.The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
