Abstract: India is the fastest-growing economy in the world. Commercial banks act as
a vibrant sector in the economy and contribute significantly to the economic
development of the country. The success of commercial banks depends on effective
financial inclusion which boosts the improved and sustainable social and economic
growth of the country. Financial inclusion is an important driver of economic growth
and has attained national priority to enable the inclusive growth of financially
excluded weaker sections of the society. The paper attempts to study how financial
inclusion is linked with economic growth in India. The paper evaluates the impact of
financial inclusion on economic growth in India. Further explores the impact of
financial inclusion on economic growth in Karnataka. The study analysed to throw
light on economic growth indicator GDP and Financial inclusion indicators like bank
branch growth and Credit-Deposit ratio. To evaluate the impact correlation and
regression tools have been used.
The study reveals that GDP and Financial inclusion indicators are correlated. The
result shows that the branch growth and Credit-Deposit ratio have found positive
significant impact on GDP in Indian and Karnataka.

1. INTRODUCTION
Commercial banks play a pivotal role in the economic development of a country. Indian economy in
general and banking sector, in particular, have made tremendous progress in the last few years. The
Indian banking industry has achieved progress in terms of expansion of branch network, growth of
deposits and credit etc. Despite this admirable progress, certain groups of the population are unable to
access financial services such as bank accounts, credit and financial services. As per census 2011, only
58.7% of the population has access to banking services in India. World Bank Financial Access Survey
indicates that Financial Exclusion measured in terms of bank branch density, ATM growth and Credit –
Deposit ratio is quite low in India as compared to the most developed countries in the world.
In such a situation the term financial Inclusion gained enough attention to overcome these bottlenecks
to finance the financially excluded segment of the society. Financial inclusion plays a key role in the
process of economic development by enhancing the resource base of the financial system in terms of
saving among a large segment of the population in India (RBI report). GOI and RBI have designed
financial inclusion programmes through introducing several financial inclusion initiatives such as
Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana (PMMY), Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY), Udyogini
Scheme etc. to provide finance unreached people. Apart from financial services several financial
education centres have established to provide education about banking and financial services. These
efforts resulted in a positive impact on the living standard of people and the economic development of
the country.
Definition of Financial Inclusion
Financial Inclusion is universal access to a wide range of financial services at a reasonable cost. These
include not only banking products but also other financial services such as insurance and equity
products (The committee on Financial Sector Reforms, Chairman: Dr Raghuram G Rajan). Financial
Inclusion is the process of ensuring access to appropriate financial products and services needed by all
sections of the society in general, and vulnerable groups such as weaker sections and low-income
groups in particular, at an affordable cost in a fair manner by regulated mainstream institutional players
(Chakrabarty, 2010). Financial inclusion is the absence of price or non-price barriers in the use of
financial services. They further add that it aims at improving access to financial services, which entails
improving the degree to which financial services are available to all at a fair price (Hannig and Jansen
2011).
Financial Inclusion and Economic Growth
Financial Inclusion is the key driver of the economic growth of the nation. Financial inclusion provides
financial services to unbanked people through financial institutions to achieve sustainable development
Brindavan Journal of Management and Computer Science
Brindavan Research Journal Volume 1, Issue 1, December 2020, Page 4
and economic growth of the country. Financial institutions are the financial intermediaries that help to
strengthen the financial system of an economy. It generates economic activities by providing safe
custody of savings, sanction loan for multi-purposes to all segments of the society at an affordable rate.
Their effective and sound operations make the life of the people more comfortable and easier, which in
turn facilitates economic growth and development of the nation.
Financial inclusion is the burning issue in India and has been measured through commercial banks in
terms of opening new branches, Opening of new ATM centre, expanding ICT to rural areas, bank
lending advances and accepting deposits at an affordable cost to all segment of the society.
GDP is an indicator of the economic growth and development of the country. The service sector
contributes more than half of GDP in India. An increasing GDP is the indication of inclusive growth
which reflects in development of the people in the society. Further inclusive growth can be achieved
only when weaker sections of the society developed on par with other sections of the society in respect
of economic development.
In light of this scenario, the present study attempts to study the progress of financial inclusion in India
and Karnataka and analyzed the impact of financial inclusion on economic growth.
.
2. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Josiah Aduda and Elizabeth Kalunda (2012) used a banking model to analyse the progress of
financial inclusion in Kenya. The study concluded that financial inclusion intervention measure should
continue with the array of products to promote financial inclusion effectively.
Anjali pathania (2016) focussed on financial inclusion indicators like the opening of new bank
branches, new ATM’s, covering unbanked villages etc. are the prerequisite for financial inclusion. In
addition to financial inclusion indicators, an effective and sound financial inclusion index must be
calculated by considering quality dimensions, which in turn gives a true picture of the level of financial
inclusion.
Dr Gudipati Vijayudu (2017) concluded that commercial banks have not benefitted from financial
inclusion in terms of deposits and business correspondence due to losses.Badar Alam Iqbala and Shaista
Sami (2017) conducted examines impact financial inclusion on the economic growth of the Indian
economy. Results of the study indicate a positive and significant impact of the number of branches and
credit-deposit ratio on GDP of the country.
Kehinde A Adetiloye (2017) conducted a study to highlight the relationship between financial
inclusion and economic growth. The study found that credit delivery to the private sector has an
insignificant impact on economic growth in Nigeria and financial inclusion has promoted poverty

alleviation through rural credit delivery. Dinabandhu Sethi and Debashis Acharya (2017) conducted a
study to highlight the linkage between financial inclusion and economic growth. The study used panel
causality test to find the direction of casualty between financial inclusion and growth of the economy.
The findings confirm that financial inclusion is one of the main drivers of economic growth of the
country.
Sanjay Kumar Singh (2018) in their study on Impact of Indian Commercial Banks in Financial
inclusion found that the important areas of financial inclusion like financial literacy, credit counselling,
BC model, KYC norms etc. yet to be performed by commercial banks in India. The study
recommended to the government to implement financial schemes at effective literacy level to enhance
knowledge of financial inclusion in India. Suman Dahiya and Manoj Kumar (2020) study are based on
secondary data extracted from the IMF and World Bank databases. The study findings show a
considerable positive relationship between economic growth and financial inclusion measures in India.
But financial inclusion index results were not satisfactory..
3. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
3.1 Research methodology
The study is based on secondary data that has been collected from secondary sources like RBI report,
Economic Survey reports, Journals and other publications from 2014 to 2019. The data has been
analysed with the help of SPSS version 17.0. T-test, correlation and Multiple Regression Model has
been applied to achieve the objectives.
Objectives of the study
1. To examine the progress of financial inclusion of Scheduled Commercial Banks in India as well
as in Karnataka.
2. To study the impact of financial inclusion indicators on the economic growth of India.
To study the impact of financial inclusion indicators on the economic growth of Karnataka
3.2 Hypothesis
H1: There is a significant impact of financial inclusion on the economic growth of Indian
Economy.
Sub-hypothesis
H1.1: There is a significant impact of the number of bank branches on GDP in India.
H1.2: There is a significant impact of Credit-Deposit Ratio on GDP in India.
H2: There is a significant impact of financial inclusion on the economic growth of Karnataka
Economy.
Sub-hypothesis
Brindavan Journal of Management and Computer Science
Brindavan Research Journal Volume 1, Issue 1, December 2020, Page 6
H2.1: There is a significant impact on the number of bank branches on GDP in Karnataka.
H2.2: There is a significant impact of Credit-Deposit Ratio on GDP in Karnataka.
3.3 Research Design
The study design measure through dependent variable and independent variables and considered GDP
as the dependent variable and financial inclusion indicators like the number of bank branches and
credit-deposit ratio as independent variables. The data has been analysed to establish a relation between
financial inclusion and economic growth through multi-regression analysis from 2014 to 2019.
R represents the correlation between the dependent variable and independent variables. R2
is the
measure used to test the significance of the regression model in explaining the relationship between
GDP and financial inclusion indicators. P-value indicates to predict whether the relationship is
significant. The presence of autocorrelation in regression model raises questions about the validity of
the model. In this regard, Durbin-Watson test has been applied as a measure to test autocorrelation
between successive observations in the data. Further, a good regression model should be free from
multi co-linearity. The study examines the correlation between independent variables through multi co-
llinearity.
The Regression Model is as follows:
Y= b0 + b1 X1+b2 X2 + E
Y= GDP
b0 = Intercept Co-efficient
b1 and b2 = Co-efficient of for each independent variables.
X1= No. of Bank Branches
X2= Credit-Deposit Ratio
4. Results and Discussion
Impact of Financial Inclusion on Economic growth in India
Commercial banks have achieved success at the national level in terms of number of branches and
credit-deposit ratio to uplift the economic growth of the nation

Table-2 shows the summary of the Multiple Regression Model. It provides R and R2 values. R resents
simple correlation between dependent variable GDP and independent variables viz. No. of Bank
Branches and Credit-Deposit ratio, which indicates high positive correlation. The R2
indicates how
much amount of variation in dependent variable GDP can be explained by independent variables. In
this case, R2
is 97.8%, which is very high. The Adjusted R2
is .963. Generally p value less than .05 is
considered significant. In this case, the p value of the model .003 which is less than .05, indicating that
the regression model is statistically significant and fit for the model.
Durbin-Watson test statistic value in the range of 1.5 to 2.5 is considered relatively normal and is an
indication of no autocorrelation between successive observations in the data. The Durbin-Watson test
statistic value shows 1.827, which indicates free from autocorrelation problem.

Table-3 portrays regression analysis financial inclusion indicators and GDP of the economy of India.
The results show that in case of No. of Bank Branches, the Beta value is 39.595 and p value is .02,
which is less than .05 at 5% significance level, indicates a positive significant impact on GDP. Further,
the analysis reveals that the Beta value of Credit-Deposit ratio is 18976.626 and the p value is .354,
which is more than .05, indicates the positive statistically insignificant impact on GDP.
Moreover, the Tolerance level and Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) measures used to indicate the multi
co-linearity. As a rule of thumb, if VIF value lies between 1 and 10, shows no multi co-linearity and if
VIF values lie between <1 or>1, shows sign of multi co-linearity. Based on the regression co-efficient
output, the VIF obtained is1.208, indicating that the VIF obtained value is between 1 and 10, it can be
concluded that there are no multi co-llinearity symptoms.
The Regression equation was as follows:
Y=-4.482+ 39.595X1 + 18976.626 X2 + E
Testing Hypothesis and Interpretation
From the analysis p value is .003, which s less than the .05. Therefore, the alternative hypothesis is
accepted. It is found that the strong significant impact of financial inclusion indicators on economic
growth in India.

5. CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS
Financial inclusion plays a key role in building integrity and stability for the financial system and
channelizes the financial sectors to achieve sustainable growth. Commercial banks are the financial
intermediaries have shown substantial growth in the economic and social development of the country
through sound financial inclusion programmes. Financial inclusion acts as an engine for inclusive
economic growth. Due to potential benefits associated with financial inclusion, a developing country
like India is promoting financial inclusion in their economies.
The present study found that the number of bank branches has a positive significant impact on GDP of
the Indian economy. But another financial indicator credit-deposit ratio has shown a positive
insignificant impact on GDP. On other hand, the study also found that the financial inclusion indicators
number of branches and credit-deposit ratio have a positive impact on GDP of Karnataka economy.
Hence, the study observed that financial inclusion has a robust relationship with the economic growth
of the country. The results of the present study are also similar to that of Badar Alam Iqbala and Shaista
Sami (2017) where financial inclusion strongly associated with economic growth and development of
the country. Despite this success, there is a need to frame comprehensive financial inclusion plans and
implement effectively to access financial services and enhance the knowledge of financial literacy to
achieve inclusive growth
