Requirement of Obtaining Deposit Insurance
This amendment is made to rectify the inconsistency. The
provisions of Section 73(2)(d) of CA 2013 read with the Principal Rule 5
provides that companies accepting deposits shall enter into a contract for
providing deposit insurance in the manner stipulated therein.
However, as of now, deposit insurance product is not
available. Hence, in order to plug the gap, the Amendment Rules extend the time
limit for obtaining deposit insurance till 31st March, 2017 or till availability
of a deposit insurance product, whichever is earlier.
