flag India replaces flat-rate deposit insurance with risk-based premiums starting April 1, 2026, linking fees to bank stability.

flag Starting April 1, 2026, India will replace its 64-year-old flat-rate deposit insurance system with a risk-based model. flag Banks will pay premiums based on financial health, governance, and supervisory ratings, with the safest institutions paying 8 paise per ₹100 in deposits—33% less than the current rate—while riskier banks pay 12 paise. flag The system, managed by the DICGC under RBI oversight, aims to promote better risk management by linking premiums to bank stability, maintaining a ₹5 lakh deposit cover per depositor.
