J&K Bank Easy Business Unit inaugurated at Chakra in Kathua

A J&K Bank Easy Business Unit was inaugurated at Chakra village in Hiranagar, Kathua district, on 25 October 2026, according to an official release issued through PIB Jammu and Kashmir. Union Minister Jitendra Singh inaugurated the facility.

The release says the unit is intended to bring banking services closer to local residents, including access to financial transactions, government welfare schemes and digital banking facilities. This is a report of the unit’s inauguration; the announcement does not provide opening hours, a fee schedule or a complete list of services available at the counter.

The minister also discussed wider financial-inclusion schemes and the bank’s expansion plans. Planned branches should not be counted as already operational: the release distinguishes branches made functional from those still in the pipeline.
