The study period was from 2015 to January 2023. The study revealed that the number of accounts opened increased by three times; the accounts in rural area increased by more than three times, where as, it was increased by two times in the urban areas, the female beneficiaries were more than the male, the issue of Rupay debit cards doubled, the deposits in accounts and the average deposit amount in the accounts also increased by three times.
