GulfHindi English Desk: DICGC, the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation, has directed all banks to prioritize displaying their logo and QR code on their websites and internet banking portals. This directive, issued under the guidance of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), aims to increase awareness about the deposit insurance scheme among millions of account holders. This move will primarily benefit customers of HDFC, SBI, and ICICI Bank, which have the largest customer base in the country.
The step has been taken by DICGC to create awareness about the deposit insurance scheme. DICGC provides insurance for deposits of up to INR 5 lakh in banks. This insurance scheme includes commercial banks, local area banks (LABs), payment banks (PBs), small finance banks (SFBs), regional rural banks (RRBs), and cooperative banks.
The decision has been made on the advice of the Reserve Bank, which recognizes the crucial role deposit insurance plays in safeguarding small depositors, instilling confidence in the banking system, and maintaining financial stability.
By displaying the logo and QR code, customers will be able to identify banks covered under DICGC’s deposit insurance scheme. It will also help them obtain complete information about deposit insurance.
