SBI launches Aadhaar-Based Enrolment For Social Security Schemes

The State Bank of India (SBI) has taken a significant step towards enhancing financial inclusivity and social welfare by introducing an innovative Customer Service Points (CSP) functionality. This functionality allows customers to seamlessly enrol in essential social security schemes using just their Aadhaar cards.

The move was unveiled by SBI’s Chairman, Dinesh Khara, who emphasized the bank’s commitment to breaking down barriers to financial security through technology-driven solutions.

Empowering Society through Digital Financial Inclusion

This newly introduced technology-driven enhancement stands as a testament to SBI’s dedication to improving financial inclusivity and social welfare through digitization. This strategic step aims to make the process of accessing social security schemes smoother and more accessible to all individuals, especially those who have faced challenges in navigating traditional financial systems.

Aadhaar-Powered Enrolment at Customer Service Points

With this groundbreaking feature, customers visiting SBI’s Customer Service Points (CSPs) will find enrolling in crucial social security schemes a breeze. By leveraging the power of Aadhaar, India’s unique biometric identification system, customers can enrol in key schemes such as the Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY), Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY), and Atal Pension Yojana (APY). Unlike the previous enrolment process that often required customers to carry passbooks to the CSP outlet, this advanced system streamlines and accelerates the enrolment process, making it faster and more convenient than ever before.

Widening the Reach of Social Security Schemes

SBI’s initiative is poised to have a profound impact on society by breaking down the barriers that have limited the reach of crucial social security schemes. This technological advancement will significantly broaden the coverage of these schemes, ensuring that more individuals across different segments of society can access the financial security they deserve. This aligns with SBI’s larger mission to foster financial inclusion and support the well-being of its customers.
