Statement 3 is incorrect as there is no explicit provision for Small Finance Banks (SFBs) to encourage the setting up of businesses in rural areas. The primary objectives of SFBs, as per the RBI guidelines, are to provide savings vehicles and supply credit to small business units, small and marginal farmers, micro and small industries, and other unorganized sector entities, through high technology-low-cost operations.
