Money can be withdrawn within 90 days
The Finance Minister said that the interests of small depositors will be kept in mind and they will be able to withdraw money within 90 days. Once it becomes a law, account holders depositing money in PMC Bank will get a big benefit.
In the current rules, the insurance available on deposits above Rs 5 lakh is effective when the license of the bank is canceled and other necessary procedures are started. DICGC comes completely under RBI and it provides insurance cover on bank deposits. The rules that are in place now take a long time of 8 to 10 years for the depositors to clear their safe money and other claims from the troubled bank. Also Read: pmkisan.gov.in !

Big lesson learned from PMC Bank
The Reserve Bank and the Center keep a close watch on the health of all the banks.

This happens because of the restrictions imposed by RBI. Also Read: Breaking News Center Government: PM Modi to Launch Ujjwala yojana 2.0 today you get 1600 rupees benefits and others
Last year, the insurance cover was increased by 10 times by the central government on deposits of more than 5 lakhs. This rule became effective from 4 February 2020. In September 2019, the RBI superseded the board of PMC Bank. Along with this, many types of restrictions were imposed on him. This decision was taken due to various financial irregularities.
