Chhattisgarh Rajya Gramin Bank has a number of IT roll-out plans for this FY:

- Mehul

Chattisgarh Rajya Gramin Bank has rolled out several major IT-enabled services in recent times, giving a number of benefits to the bank and its customers. Being an-SBI sponsored RRB, its customers can utilize the vast SBI ATM network, totally free of cost. However, in order to improve its IT strength and build brand image, the bank has introduced its own ATMs (3 at present). To supplement and improve easy access of basic banking services in very remote areas, the bank has also deployed 342 micro-ATMs through its Bank Mitras, which is a substantial increase from 287 last year. The micro-ATMs at Bank Mitras had started functioning in September 2016 and all the basic needs of the local population are fully met through these inter-operable machines.

MORE MICRO-ATMS

R.K. Gupta, chairman of the bank, says the bank has been first among 18 SBI sponsored RRBs to have a vast micro-ATM network. He mentions that with NABARD’s help, the bank will deploy 618 micro-ATMs at its own branches to make the transactions smooth and also facilitating RuPay Card activation. “We also propose to install 100 ATMs by FY 2019 and in order to provide a fillip to financial inclusion and digitization programs, we are also rolling out 3 mobile vans with all infrastructure and ATMs,” adds Gupta
