This was conveyed to the banks at a video conference meeting held by Joint Secretary Anurag Jain with executive directors of public and private sector banks to review the progress of PMJDY.
Till December 22, banks have opened 9.83 crore bank accounts under the PMJDY and issued 7.28 crore RuPay cards.
