## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR COMMUNICATIONS, HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT AND ELECTRONICS & INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (SHRI SANJAY DHOTRE)

- (a)     India Post Payment Bank is a scheduled payments bank offering a range of products such as savings  and  current  accounts,  remittances  and  money  transfer,  direct  benefit  transfers,  bill  and utility  payments, enterprise & merchant payments and Aadhar Enabled Payment System (AePS). These products, and related services, are being offered across multiple channels (Counter Services, Micro-ATM, Mobile Banking App, SMS and IVR, and at the doorstep).

(b) to (d) Funds under this scheme have been allocated centrally towards establishing the India Post Payments Bank and not State/ District wise. However, details of rural areas in Rajasthan covered by  IPPB banking services either through access points or through doorstep banking service is at Annexure-I .   The scheme target of setting up of India Post Payment Bank has been achieved by launching of the Payment Bank and setting up of 650 branches along with their access points.
