Addressing the gathering, Mr. Prasad emphasized the timely completion of the Re-KYC exercise to avoid disruption of banking services. He directed banks to complete the process within the week and to step up awareness on cyber fraud prevention, customer protection mechanisms, and the role of the Banking Ombudsman in grievance redressal. Other dignitaries, including Mr. Mishra, Mr. Tiwari, and Mr. Aziz-ur-Rahman, highlighted the importance of KYC compliance and the reach of social security schemes in advancing financial inclusion.
The camp drew active participation from customers, with facilitation counters set up by various banks for on-the-spot Re-KYC updation and enrolments under Jan Suraksha schemes.
