    8. Once the bank account has been active for 6 months and has been linked to account holders Aadhar identity, they would become eligible for an overdraft of up to Rs 2,500, which would further be enhanced by the bank to Rs 5000 over time.

    9. The Jan Dhan Yojana also seeks to provide incentives to business and banking correspondents who serve as the link for the last mile between savings account holders and the bank by fixing a minimum monthly remuneration of Rs 5000.

    10. The long term vision of the Jan Dhan Yojana is to lay the foundation of a cashless economy and is complementary to the Digital India Scheme.
