Telecom companies can facilitate select banking services but their call is not compelling

..........Thus, the telecom operator acts like a banking correspondent-as per rules set by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), within a 30 km radius of a branch in rural areas and 5 km in urban areas. It's a symbiotic relationship. Telcos need banks for accounts; banks need telcos for reach- there are 90,000 bank branches, while Airtel alone has 1.6 million outlets.........
