Deposit Insurance Corporation Sees Rs 14,100 cr Claims After PMC Crisis

The extent of devolvement on the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation (DICGC) in the event of all the banks “under direction” or weak banks going into liquidation or ordered to be wound up, would be Rs 14,098 crore as of September-end, said the RBI’s Financial Stability Report released recently. Cooperative banks have been under stress for long and the ongoing PMC Bank crisis, which involves a scam of Rs 6,500 crore that is 73 per cent of its total assets of around Rs 9,000 crore, is related to a single entity, the bankrupt HDIL, which has been gaming the bank since 2008.
