Stating that banks are playing a crucial role amid the pandemic, FM Sitharaman said, \u201cAt this stage, the catalysts for economic revival, the catalysts who have the pulse of every one of their customers, are banks\u201d. She was speaking after the launch of PSB Alliance-Doorstep Banking Services. \u201cBanks need to introspect on their core businesses,\u201d she added. Meanwhile, FM Sitharaman said that India is an example to other countries in the way citizens adopted Jan Dhan, Aadhar and mobile. She also said that banking services must reach those areas where banks have not yet reached.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"common-bottom-text\">\n<p>Get live <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialexpress.com\/market\/stock-market\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stock Prices<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialexpress.com\/market\/stock-market\/s-p-bse-sensex-stock-price\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BSE<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialexpress.com\/market\/stock-market\/nifty-50-stock-price\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NSE<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialexpress.com\/investing-abroad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">US Market<\/a> and latest NAV, portfolio of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialexpress.com\/mutual-funds-india\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mutual Funds<\/a>, calculate your tax by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialexpress.com\/income-tax-calculator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Income Tax Calculator<\/a>, know market\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialexpress.com\/market\/stock-market\/nse-top-gainers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Top Gainers<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialexpress.com\/market\/stock-market\/nse-top-losers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Top Losers<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialexpress.com\/mutual-funds-india\/equity-funds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Best Equity Funds<\/a>.
