RBI Launches Re-KYC Camps for Jan Dhan Accounts
India's central bank, the RBI, wants to make sure everyone's bank accounts are up-to-date.
They're focusing on the Jan Dhan scheme, which helps people open bank accounts.
Since it's been 10 years, some account details need to be refreshed.
Banks are setting up special camps in villages to help people update their information easily.
These camps will offer services like helping with small loans, insurance, and pension plans.
This is all part of helping more people get access to financial services.
