2. On a review, the FIF Advisory Board has revised the funding support available to banks to the extent of 60% of the expenditure of the camp subject to a maximum of Rs. 5,000/- per camp. For details on funding, banks may refer to circular No. 107/DFIBT-24/2017 dated May 4, 2017 issued by NABARD.

3.

Funding for handheld projectors and speakers would be provided from FIF to the extent of 50% of the cost incurred on purchase of hand held projector and portable speaker (both put together) subject to a maximum of Rs. 5000 per rural branch / FLC on a reimbursement basis. For details on funding, banks may refer to circular No. 105/DFIBT-22/2017 dated May 4, 2017 issued by NABARD.

The Second Audio-visual explains the process of using the Unified Payment Interface through BHIM and the third audio visual explains the various ways of going digital and cashless.
