Impact of FinTech-Enabled Transaction Volume on Financial Inclusion in India

Author(s) Dr. Pankaj Kumar Mahato
Country India
Abstract This research examines how FinTech-enabled transaction volumes drive financial inclusion in India. The study uses a quantitative regression model to analyze secondary data from the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana and digital payment platforms. It finds a strong relationship, with an R-squared value of 0.980. This indicates that 98% of the variation in banking adoption is explained by digital transaction activity. A significant p-value of 0.000149 further confirms that transaction velocity is a reliable predictor of financial participation.
The originality of this paper lies in its focus on transaction volumes as a primary driver for inclusion rather than simple account ownership. A key limitation is the reliance on secondary data, which may not capture individual barriers like digital literacy. The study suggests that policymakers should prioritize transaction-based incentives to deepen banking engagement. These results highlight the importance of digital public infrastructure in bridging the economic gap for underserved populations. By adopting a digital-first approach, India can ensure sustainable financial growth and more equitable access to formal services for all citizens.
