This study examines the relationship between financial inclusion and economic growth across three Indian states—Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Bihar—during 2011–2023. These states represent varying levels of development and financial penetration. Using secondary data and regression models, the analysis highlights how Jan Dhan account expansion and UPI adoption influence state-level GSDP growth. To enrich the analysis, a primary survey conducted in Mumbai provides micro-level insights on banking access, digital payments, and trust in financial services. Findings suggest positive impacts in Karnataka and Maharashtra, while Bihar lags due to infrastructural gaps, emphasizing the need for region-specific, inclusive policy measures.
