"The Department of Financial Services (DFS), Ministry of Finance and National Informatics Centre (NIC) have jointly developed a mobile app called Jan Dhan Darshak as a part of the financial inclusion (FI) initiative. As the name suggests, this application acts as a guide for the common people in locating a financial service touch point at a given location in the country. While locator apps are a common feature for many individual banks and financial service providers, in this era of inter-operable banking services, the Jan Dhan Darshak app will be in a unique position to provide a citizen centric platform for locating financial service touch points across all providers such as banks, post office, CSC, etc. These services could be availed as per the needs and convenience of the common people. Salient features of this Apps being: Find nearby Financial touch points, based on current location (Branches/ATM/Post offices) Search by place name also available with Voice Interface Phone number of bank branches available in-app, with the facility of call button for integrated dialing Users’ feedback will go directly to the concerned bank for carrying out the necessary updation in data on financial touch points.
