Abstract: In the following study, we inquire into the financial inclusion from a demand side perspective. Utilizing IHDS round-1 (2004-05) and round-2 (2011-12), starting from a broad picture of demand side access to finance at the country level, we venture into analysing the patterns at state level, and then lastly at district level. Particularly at district level, we focus on agriculture households in rural areas to identify if there is a shift in the demand side financial access towards non-agriculture households in certain parts of the country. In order to do this, we use District level 'Basic Statistical Returns of Scheduled Commercial Banks' for the years 2004 and 2011, made available by RBI, to first construct supply side financial inclusion indices, and then infer about a relative shift in access to formal finance away from agriculture households, using a logistic regression framework.
