You will get back up to Rs 5 lakh
RBI has directed the Commissioner for Cooperation and Registrar of Cooperative Societies of Maharashtra to close the bank (Jai Prakash Narayan Nagari Sahakari Bank Basmathnagar) and appoint a liquidator. After the liquidation process is over, payment will be made to the account holders of the cooperative bank through deposit insurance claims. Under this, people will get back their deposits up to Rs 5 lakh. This payment will be made by the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation (DICGC).
99.78 percent account holders will get full money
The Reserve Bank said that according to the bank’s records, about 99.78 percent account holders will get the entire money back. The Central Bank said that Jai Prakash Narayan Nagari Cooperative Bank does not have funds for operations. Besides, there doesn’t seem to be any way to earn money from it. Therefore it is not in a position to return people’s money. If the bank is allowed to operate further, the public may suffer huge losses. Therefore, it was decided to stop its banking services.
