3. INTRODUCTION India is the world's sixth largest economy in terms of nominal GDP and third largest in purchasing power parity. Contradictory to the fact that, India May to become the country with the worlds’ highest number of people living in extreme poverty, World bank report on poverty: (2013) Third of the world’s poorest living in India Planning commission of India : (2012) 21% of population living in below poverty line The state should address all society with justice, brotherhood, and social welfare . The present banking system prevailing in India is not sufficient to meet the requirements of all sections of society Islamic banking (based on Islamic sharia) can play a key role in providing economic justice and eliminating disparities.

4. CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK India is the country of different religions, cultures, beliefs, linguistic heritages, castes, and socio-economic backgrounds (Census 2011). Islam is the second largest religion in India with 14.2 % of the country's population or roughly 172 million people identifying as adherents Islam (Pew research center, 2015) Indian Muslims projected to rise to more than 311 million by 2050 (11% of the global total ),largest population of Muslims in the world. Current situation of Indian Muslims is very vulnerable with the highest percentage of illiteracy, higher unemployment and low level of income and higher poverty rate. By accommodating of the full-fledged Islamic banking system in India will be a gigantic leap forward towards the minimization of economic disparity. Islamic banking will also facilitate the entrepreneurship development for all entrepreneurs who had the sound proposal for starting business operation, but the scarcity of collateral security.

5. FINANCIAL INCLUSION THROUGH ISLAMIC BANKING IN INDIA RBI defines Financial Inclusion as “process of ensuring access to appropriate financial products and services needed by all sections of the society in general and vulnerable groups such as weaker sections and low income groups in particular.” Sachar Committee Report(2005): R eveals that on many indicators of Muslims are behind even the SC/ST Community especially in terms of financial inclusion Islamic finance now the largest alternative financial system in the world today growing at double digit rates Growing list of minority Muslim countries who have embraced Islamic finance are (UK, USA&CANADA, FRANCE, IRELAND,AUSTRALIA,SINGAPORE, SRI LANKA etc…)

6. REVIEW OF LITERATURE Faisal Fasih (2013) Islamic financial institution of India: Progress, Problems and Prospects, stated that in India there are about 300 Islamic financial institutions but very little is known about their functioning , socio-economic performance and potential. Vasu (2016) While discussing the future of Islamic banking and finance in India discussed the interest free mechanism as an essential feature of the Islamic finance. Although banking without interest seems to be a misnomer, as one cannot think of the concept of lending without interest, the concept is catching up with the world, Haque , Lone and Thakur (2017) Undertook a study using SWOT analysis and used the Michal Porter’s five forces model and explained how Islamic finance is viable and better for India. In the support of their statement that Islamic finance is better for India, Tripathy (2013) Reported that Muslims constitute over 15 percent of the population in India but they hold only 12 percent of the accounts in the 27 public sector banks of India as for as priority sector advances are concerned. Khan K A (2014) He concluded that the future prospects of Islamic banking in India is very good and it should be looked at as “Interest free banking” through a broad kaleidoscope and not through a narrow religious prism .

7. REVIEW OF LITERATURE Pandu , A., and Hussain , M.G. (2016) Studied the introduction of Islamic banking in India and suggested a legal framework. They suggested that though there are constraints in the implementation of Islamic banking in India due to the provisions in the Banking Regulations Act, special provisions could be created, on the lines of provisions for NBFCs, to permit Islamic banking in India so that resources could be attracted from the Middle Eastern countries. This would be useful for the infrastructure facilities and this in turn will drive the economic growth of the country. Abdul Aziz Abdullah (2016) The results of this study showed that Islamic banking services are making headway among non-Muslims and they concluded that most respondents strongly thought that Islamic banking would dominate conventional banking in the near future in Malaysia. Jeet Singh and Preeti Yadav (2013) Studied the growth and potential of Islamic banking in India and stated that Islamic banking has been misunderstood in India as a religious charitable venture restricted to the poverty-ridden and economically downtrodden Muslim community. Bhat , Z. A (2013) Studied the nature, scope and feasibility of Islamic banking in India and stated that since India needs huge investments in its infrastructure building , Islamic banking can provide interest-free loans to fulfill the need and therefore, a huge potential exists for Islamic banking in India but it will need some strong policy decisions to make it a reality.

8. RESEARCH GAP Numerous studies have been performed since the inception of the modem Islamic banking and finance. Conceptual issues underlying interest free financing.
