The Securities and Exchange Board of India has placed on its website a draft ‘National Strategy for Financial Education’ for comments.

The proposed strategy underpins that specialised education plays a vital role in financial inclusion and inclusive growth. It aims at responsible financial consumer behaviour, knowledge on access to financial services, products and their features.

It also seeks to create awareness on the rights and obligations of the users.

The draft has been prepared under the aegis of the Sub Committee of the Financial Stability and Development Council (FSDC), the market regulator said. It said comments can be emailed to >iad@sebi.gov.in by August 15.
