Abstract

A bank is a financial institution licensed to receive deposits, make credits and provide other banking facilities – transactions,payments and insurance.By the way of implementing the concept of financial inclusion,a vast section of the rural disadvantaged tribal people in India was gradually coming under the ambit of formal banking services.As per the report of the World Bank's (2017) Global Findex shows that nearly 80 percent of the people in India had a bank account. However a significant portion of tribal people in India are excluded from the ambit of the banking facilities in the country. In this background the present paper aims to assess the level of access to banking facilities among the tribal people of Hezamara Block of Mohanpur,Tripura and to study their awareness level about financial products and services offered by the banks.The present study is based on primary data collected from the 200 tribal households in Hezamara Block through a set questionnaire and discussion.It has found that 100 percent of sample tribal respondents are having bank accounts and majority of the respondents have their bank accounts in Tripura Gramin Banks (TGBs) and Tripura State Co-operative Banks (TSCBs) respectively.
