Launches Campaign to Encourage Nomination Updates in Bank Accounts
Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, November 29 –
Haryana CS Dr. Vivek Joshi today called on bankers to launch a special campaign to reactivate inactive accounts under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) and to encourage nomination updates in depositor bank accounts.
Presiding over the 170th meeting of the SLBC, Dr. Joshi highlighted the critical need to re-engage beneficiaries whose accounts have been inactive for a prolonged period. He emphasized that activating these dormant accounts would enable account holders to fully utilize the benefits of the PMJDY and promote the overall objectives of financial inclusion.
Dr. Joshi also urged the banks to ensure widespread awareness among account holders about the importance of updating nominations in their accounts to secure their deposits and streamline the claims process in unforeseen circumstances.
The Chief Secretary stressed the role of banks in empowering economically weaker sections of society by facilitating access to government welfare schemes and financial services. He called for collaborative efforts to strengthen Haryana’s financial ecosystem and maximize the impact of initiatives aimed at inclusive growth.
