In terms of provisions of the DICGC Act, 1961, on cancellation of registration as an insured bank, the Corporation is liable to pay every depositor, the eligible amount subject to the limit of the insurance cover, based on his deposit/s and loans in the bank as on the cut-off date.

The claim list is required to be prepared by the Liquidator appointed by the respective RCS or CRCS to complete the liquidation process. The liquidator represents the interests of all creditors.

The date of deregistration of a bank as an insured bank is the cut-off date. The claim amount (including interest) payable to each depositor, after set-off of loans and advances and clubbing of deposits, in the 'same capacity and same right' is to be prepared depositor-wise as on the cut-off date.

The claim list is prepared depositor-wise after exercising proper set-off of dues, if any, and clubbing of deposits in the same capacity and same right etc. Please refer to the link 'Guidelines to Liquidator'.

The statutory requirement is that after the liquidator's appointment, he should submit the claim list in such form and manner stipulated by DICGC, with least possible delay and under any circumstances not later than 3 months from the date of his/her assuming charge as liquidator.

If a bank goes into liquidation, the DICGC is liable to pay to each depositor through the liquidator, the admissible amount upto a maximum amount of Rupees five lakhs after exercising proper set-off of dues, if any, and clubbing of deposits in the same capacity and same right. On scrutiny of the main Claim list submitted by the Liquidator, admissible claim amount is arrived at by the Corporation.

However, in case of partial or non-availability of liquid funds, part or full payment, as applicable, is released by DICGC. The amount paid from liquid funds by the liquidator is accounted as release of funds by DICGC and simultaneous repayment received from the bank by the Corporation.
