READING COMPREHENSION 

Financial Inclusion (FI) is an emerging priority for banks that have nowhere else to go to achieve business growth. The viability of FI business is under question, because while banks and their delivery partners continue to make investments, they haven't seen commensurate returns.

 In markets like India, most programmes are focused on customer on-boarding, an expensive process which people often find difficult to afford, involving issuance of smart cards to the customers.

 However, large-scale customer acquisition hasn't translated into large-scale business, with many accounts lying dormant and therefore yielding no return on the bank's investment. For the same reason, Business Correspondent Agents, who constitute the primary channel for financial inclusion, are unable to pursue their activity as a full-time job. One major reason for this state of events is that the customer on-boarding process is often delayed after the submission of documents (required to validate the details of the concerned applicant) by the applicant and might take as long as two weeks. By this time the initial enthusiasm of applicants fades away.

 Moreover, the delivery partners don't have the knowledge and skill to propose anything other than the most basic financial products to the customer and hence do not serve their banks"' goal of expanding the offering in unbanked markets.
Contrary to popular perception, the inclusion segment is not a singular impoverished, undifferentiated mass and it is important to navigate its diversity to identify the right target customers for various programmes.

Rural markets do have their share of rich people who do not use banking services simply because they are inconvenient to access or have low perceived value. At the same time, urban markets, despite a high branch density, have multitude of low wage earners outside the financial net.

Moreover, the branch timings of banks rarely coincide with the off-work hours of the labour class.

Creating affordability is crucial in tapping the unbanked market. No doubt pricing is a tool, but banks also need to be innovative in right-sizing their proposition to convince customers that they can derive big value even from small amounts. One way of doing this is to show the target audience that a bank account is actually a lifestyle enabler, a convenient and safe means to send money to family or make a variety of purchases.

Once banks succeed in hooking customers with this value proposition they must sustain their interest by introducing a simple and intuitive user application, ubiquitous access over mobile and other touch points, and adopting a banking mechanism which is not only secure but also reassuring to the customer. Technology is the most important element of financial inclusion strategy and an enabler of all others.

The choice of technology is therefore a crucial decision, which could make or mar the agenda. Of the various section criteria, cost is perhaps the most important. This certainly does not mean buying the cheapest package, but rather choosing that solution which by scaling transactions to huge volumes reduces per unit operating cost. An optimal mix of these strategies would no doubt offer an innovative means of expansion in the unbanked market.

1. Which of the following facts is true as per the passage?
(1) People from rural areas have high perceived value of banking services.
(2) Cost is not a valid criterion for technological pack selection for financial-inclusion initiatives.
(3) The inclusion segment is a singular impoverished undifferentiated mass.
(4) The branch timings of banks generally do not coincide with the off-work hours of the labour class in urban markets.
(5) All the given statements are true

2. According to the passage, for which of the following reasons do the delivery partners fail to serve their bank-‘s goal to expand in the unbanked markets?

(A) They do not have adequate client base to sell they financial products.
(B) They do not have adequate knowledge and skills to explain anything beyond basic financial products to the customers.
(C) They do not have the skills to operate advanced technological aids that are a prerequisite to tap the unbanked-market.
1) Only (B)  
2) Only (C)
3) All (A), (B) & (C) 
4) Only (A)
5) Both (B) and (C)

3. According to the passage, for which of the following reasons is the viability of financial inclusion under question?
(1) Banks always prefer the cheapest package (to cut cost) while making a choice of technology to be used.
(2) The Business Correspondent Agents are highly demotivated to pursue their activity as a full-time job.
(3) The investments made by banks and their delivery partners are not yielding equal amounts of returns.
(4) Banks do not have adequate number of delivery partners required to tap the unbanked market.
(5) Banks do not have adequate manpower to explore the diversity of the unbanked market and thereby identify the right target customers for various programs.

4. In the passage, the author has specified which of the following characteristics of the customer on-boarding process?
(1) It involves collection of documents from the applicants in order to validate their details.
(2) It involves issuance of smart cards to the customers.
(3) It suffers from latency as it takes a long time after submission of documents by the customer.
(4) It is an expensive process which people find difficult to afford.
(5) All of the given characteristics have been specified

5. What did the author try to highlight in the passage?
(A) The ailing condition of financial inclusion business at present
(B) Strategies that may help banks expand in the unbanked market
(C) Role of government in modifying the existing financial-inclusion policies
(1) Both A & B
2) All A, B, & C
(3) only C     
(4)Only A
(5) Only B

Let's start with the Day 4: 

So learn

• Tables upto 30
• Squares upto 50
• Cubes upto 25

And

Solve this RC passage:

Direction (1-10): Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions.

Money is any object that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services and repayment of debts in a given country or socio-economic context. Money is primarily a medium of exchange or means of exchange. It is a way for a person to trade what he has for what he wants.

Money is the most important and essential tool of modern economic life. One cannot imagine modern economic life without money. Barter economies or self-sufficient economies are the thing of past and historical significance. Money is the foundation stone of modern economic life. Money is the pivot around which all economic activities revolve. Money is important in all economies whether it is a socialist economy or a capitalist economy; or a backward economy or a rich economy. In the initial stages of exchange economy, commodities were exchanged with commodities. Such transactions were known as barter transactions. In this stage commodity was the form of money. How­ever, under barter transactions there were difficulties relating to common measure of value, store of value, divisibility of goods, making deferred payments etc. Therefore, in place of commodities, gold and silver were used as money. But even this system could not continue for long because the available stock of gold and silver was not adequate to meet the demand for the quantity of money. Therefore, it was replaced by paper money where promissory notes were used as money. Now, besides paper money, credit money is being used exten­sively such as credit cards etc.

Money can be classified on the basis of relationship between the value of money and value of money as a commodity. Value of money means the face value of money. For example, the face value of five rupees coin is five rupees. Value of money as a commodity means the value of the commodity of which money is made of.

Full bodied money or commodity money is that whose face value is equal to its commodity value. This type of money was in existence when gold standard was prevalent. In other words, face value of the coin was equal to its intrinsic (commodity) value but due to the limited stock of precious metals this type of money was not continued for long. Now this kind of money is not found anywhere in the world.

Representative full bodied money refers to money which is usually made of paper. The value of representative full-bodied money is much higher than its value as a commodity. It is accepted as money as it can be conveniently used for carrying out transactions.

Credit money refers to the money whose intrinsic value (as a commodity) is much lower than its face value. For example, face value of Rs 100 note is Rs 100, but we would get a much lower value if we sell the note as a piece of paper. Credit cards, bank deposits are other examples of credit money.

Money performs various functions. Money provides the most efficient means of satisfying wants. Each consumer has a different set of wants. Money enables him (her) to decide which wants to satisfy, rank the wants in order of urgency and capa­city (income) and act accordingly.

Money is the measuring rod of everything. By acting as a common denominator it permits everything to be priced, that is, valued in terms of money. Thus, people are enabled to com­pare different prices and thus see the relative values of different goods and services.

Money is the most liquid asset (liquidity measures how easily assets can be spent to buy goods and services). Money’s value can be retained over time. It is a convenient way to store wealth.

Money is used as a store of purchasing power. It can be held over a period of time and used to finance future payments. More­over, when people save money, they get the assurance that the money saved will have value when they wish to spend it in the future. However, this statement holds only if there is no severe inflation (or deflation) in the country.

Money facilitates loans. Borrowers can use money to obtain goods and services when they are needed most. Money is used to measure and record financial transactions as also the value of goods or services produced in a country over time.

In a modern economy, most transactions (buying and selling) are made on the basis of credit. Most business dealings permit payment in the future for goods delivered now. Employees wait for a month or a week to receive their wages and salaries. Thus, the use of money permits the members of society to defer their spending from the present to some future date.

The value of money changes with time. According to the theory of time value of money (TVM) rational investors prefer to receive money today rather than the same amount of money in the future because of money’s potential to grow in value over a given period of time.
Time value of money is the concept that the value of money to be received in future is less than the value of money on hand today. One reason is that money received today can be invested thus generating more money. Inflation increases the prices of goods and services over time, effectively decreasing the quantity of goods and services you can buy with money in the future in comparison to the quantity of goods and services you can buy today with same amount. If wages remain the same but inflation causes the prices of goods and services to increase over time, it will take a larger percentage of your income to purchase the same good or service in the future.
