What will be the benefit of insurance to the customers of SVB?
Silicon Valley Bank, which gave loans to most startups and tech companies, went bankrupt on 10 March. After this, there was an atmosphere of chaos among the customers and investors of the bank. But the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation of America has tried to assure people that their money is safe in the bank.
According to the rules of the FDIC of America, if any bank sinks in the country, then the investors get the benefit of insurance up to 2.5 lakh dollars i.e. about 2 crore rupees. On the other hand, getting an amount more than this depends only on the intervention of the government.
Investors also get insurance cover in India
It is noteworthy that in India also bank customers get the benefit of insurance cover like in America. Through this insurance cover, it is possible for the customers to get a fixed amount in case of bank failure or withdrawal of money.
Like the FDIC of America, this work is done by DICGC (The Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation) in India. According to its rules, in case of bank collapse, customers can get a maximum amount of Rs 5 lakh.
