Abstract

Digital financial inclusion is the use of formal fiscal forces by underserved and expelled individuals, including their digital access to those services. Financial services should be available to the underprivileged members of socially excluded groups, especially tribes, to increase financial inclusion. The current study aims to know the awareness level of the tribes about digital financial inclusion and to find out the factors influencing tribal people to adopt digital financial inclusion. A stratified sampling technique has been used to select the sample size. Both primary and secondary data were used. An interview schedule has been used to acquire primary data. The collected data has been analysed using simple percentages, factor analysis, and Garatte ranking. The study found that tribal people are still not aware of and are not using many digital services. Due to advancements in technology, the usage of digital financial services among the tribes may increase in the future.
