Bank of India on Friday extended its operations to the Union Territory of Ladakh by opening its first-ever branch here with its top official asserting that the bank is fully committed to extending.
"The bank is fully committed to extending its banking services to the people living in the far-flung areas of the country. The opening of a branch here is an important step towards this goal," Das said.
He said it would not only boost economic activities in the region but will also help the local people to use various banking products like housing, vehicle, education and agriculture loans, and also reap the benefits of other government schemes.
Meanwhile, in continuation to the bank's mission to reach maximum customers across India, it also conducted a 'customer outreach programme' at Leh branch, wherein Das distributed loan sanction letters to various beneficiaries, the spokesperson said.
