Introduction

The financial-inclusion campaign beginning on 21 October combines account access, verification and social-security enrolment. Read its administrative owner and time window separately from the individual schemes covered by bank camps.

Explanation

Correct answer: C — Department of Financial Services. The Department of Financial Services is the administrative department named in the release. Banks organise service camps, but an implementing institution and the department announcing the nationwide initiative need not be the same body. Distinguish the government department, participating banks and the individual financial schemes when revising this item. The Department of Financial Services announced the nationwide campaign for 21 October–31 December 2026 across 2.70 lakh Gram Panchayats and Urban Local Bodies. Bank camps cover services such as PMJDY accounts, re-KYC and enrolment in specified insurance and pension schemes. The announcement is not a promise of automatic enrolment.
