PTI | June 27, 2011



Country's largest lender State Bank of India (SBI) on Friday said it has completed 50 lakh Aadhaar, unique identification number enrollment.  This has made SBI the largest non-government registrar in the country clearly leading the way amongst the group (the next best non government registrar enrolment figures of 55,000), the bank said in a statement.

The bank has used the Aadhaar enrollment program as a vehicle to reach out to the unbanked villages included in the Bank’s Financial Inclusion Plan (FIP), it said. SBI has covered over 1,050 villages in 14 states within a period of 6 months, it said.

Going forward, the bank plans to extend Aadhaar enrollment services in a phased manner to its staff and customers at non-FIP centers also, in coordination with UIDAI and the respective state governments, it said.
