BANKING AFFAIRS

Detailed explanation-1: -Each depositor in a bank is insured upto a maximum of ₹ 5, 00, 000 (Rupees Five Lakhs) for both principal and interest amount held by him in the same right and same capacity as on the date of liquidation/cancellation of bank’s licence or the date on which the scheme of amalgamation/merger/reconstruction comes into force.

Detailed explanation-2: -The standard insurance amount is $250, 000 per depositor, per insured bank, for each account ownership category. The FDIC provides separate coverage for deposits held in different account ownership categories.

Detailed explanation-3: -Anything over that amount would exceed the FDIC coverage limits. So if you keep more than $250, 000 in cash at a single bank, then you run the risk of losing some of those funds if your bank fails. The good news is that bank failures are generally rare; there were only four bank failures in 2020.

Detailed explanation-4: -There is no set limit to the amount of money you can deposit in a savings bank account or a digital savings bank account; you must evaluate your choices if you have a substantial amount of funds at your disposal if so you do not want to fall under the taxman’s eye.
