Jan Dhan scheme

Bank Employees asked more wages from Government!
Honourable P.M. NAMO Obliged to give!
Of course, not more wages ,but more Work!

 Yes, Bank employees should work 8A.M. to 8P.M on Saturdays
to open New accounts under Jan Dhan scheme.
Do the Finance Ministry knows that the accounts opened under Jan Dhan are duplicate, triplicate and quartiplicate?
Yes, those who already having bank accounts have opned new accounts
in the same bank or the other, to avail the benefits that are announced
along with new account.
Jan Dhan account is only an extention of Financial inclution scheme by UPA.
