## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE (SHRI SHIV PRATAP SHUKLA)

- (a): At present, there is no such proposal to revise the deposit insurance cover.

(b) : The Government has received a letter from the Hon'ble Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh suggesting that the existing deposit insurance cover of Rs.1 lakh be raised to Rs. 15 lakhs.

(c) :  The proposal has been examined in consultation with the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation (DICGC). DICGC has informed that as per the Core Principle (CP) 8 of  Effective  Deposit  Insurance  prescribed  by  the  International  Association  for  Deposit Insurance  (IADI),  coverage  should  be  limited,  credible  and  cover  the  vast  majority  of depositors but leave a substantial amount of deposits exposed to market discipline. Currently (as on March 31, 2018), 92% of the deposit accounts in number and 29% of the deposit in value are covered by DICGC. This is higher than the guidance of IADI which recommends coverage  of  80%  in  number  of  accounts  and  20-30%  in  value  terms.  Increase  in  the insurance cover also requires a higher premium based on risk classification of the insured bank (Risk Based Premium - RBP).

(d) and (e) : No proposal has been received from other State Governments by the Department of Financial Services (DFS).
