Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in January 2006 permitted banks to utilize the services of intermediaries viz Business Correspondents (BC) in providing banking services.
The BC model ensures a closer relationship between poor people and the organized financial system. RBI has reported that as on 31.3.2014, there were 194772 Business Correspondents.
RBI has advised banks to pay reasonable commission/fee to the BC, the rate and quantum of which is reviewed periodically.
