- DICGC says eligible savings, fixed, current and recurring deposits at insured banks are within the scheme, while listed exclusions include deposits received outside India and inter-bank or government deposits.
- The current ceiling is INR 500,000 for principal and interest in the same right and capacity across all branches of the same bank.
- An exact foreign-currency account, ownership capacity, valuation and insured-bank status still require confirmation; prepaid cards, PPIs, receiving details and non-bank payment balances do not inherit a bank's deposit label.
