Expenditure is more than the income

In Vadnagar taluka the income and expenditure ratio shows except the villages, Dabu which shows relatively higher ratio, which subsequently results into low savings in income but the village has banking facilities.

Satlasana
Satlasana shows a deficit of banking and commerce facilities in many villages but in contrast it shows higher savings in many villages and lower expenditure. So there is an obvious need of more banking facilities in certain villages. Banking facilities follow a constant number in each the taluka’s. Rather it should be distributed according to the investment and economic potential and to the income-expenditure ratio.
