Financial Literacy Board
Full Form of FLB
What is FLB?
The Financial Literacy Board (FLB) is a conceptual regulatory initiative in India aimed at improving financial awareness among citizens. Although not a standalone statutory body, the term is often used in policy discussions to refer to a proposed or informal coordinating group under the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) or the National Centre for Financial Education (NCFE). Its primary role is to design and implement programs that teach basic financial concepts—such as budgeting, saving, investing, and understanding credit—to underserved populations. In India, where financial inclusion is a national priority, the FLB concept supports the government's Jan Dhan Yojana and other digital payment schemes. The board is discussed in banking conferences, academic papers, and policy drafts, especially when evaluating the effectiveness of existing literacy initiatives. For competitive exams like RBI Grade B or NABARD, knowing about financial literacy frameworks and institutions like the FLB can be relevant for questions on financial inclusion and regulatory bodies. The FLB underscores the need for a structured approach to closing the knowledge gap between formal banking systems and rural or semi-urban communities.
