State Level Bankers’ Committees (SLBCs) and Union Territory Level Bankers’ Committees (UTLBCs) have been asked to report data on Scheduled Caste (SC) beneficiaries under key government schemes linked to jobs and entrepreneurship. The move is part of a wider effort to monitor inclusion in credit and welfare-linked programmes.
According to RBI guidelines governing these committees, their primary focus is supposed to be on “policy and strategic issues relating to the flow of priority sector credit and overall financial inclusion in the state.” The reporting requirement is aligned with that broader mandate.
The updated data tracking is expected to help assess how effectively government schemes are reaching SC beneficiaries. No further details were provided in the input on which specific schemes are covered or when the reporting will begin.
