Jan Dhan Accounts Safe: Govt Denies Closure Notices

The Finance Ministry on Tuesday categorically denied reports that the Department of Financial Services (DFS) had directed banks to close inactive Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) accounts. This statement comes in response to widespread speculation and public concern.

The Ministry clarified that no such instructions have been issued. It emphasized the government’s commitment to the financial inclusion goals of the PMJDY scheme.

The clarification aims to quell anxieties among account holders and ensure the continued smooth functioning of the scheme. The government’s commitment to the financial well-being of citizens, particularly the underprivileged, remains paramount.

This reassurance is crucial given the vital role PMJDY plays in providing access to financial services for millions of Indians. The clarification underscores the importance of accurate information dissemination to avoid unnecessary panic and confusion.
