Which one of the following correctly represents the three key sub-indices of the Financial Inclusion Index (FI-Index) of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) ?

Show answer

Answer: C. The RBI's Financial Inclusion Index, launched in 2021, has three sub-indices: Access (35 per cent weight), Usage (45 per cent) and Quality (20 per cent).

Watch for: Many options sound like inclusion goals, but only Access, Usage and Quality are official.

Why the other options are wrong
  • A. Wrong because these are not the FI-Index sub-indices.
  • B. Wrong because GDP contribution is not a sub-index.
  • D. Wrong because affordability and transparency are not sub-indices.
