RBI Action on National Urban Co-operative Bank Ltd, Pratapgarh (Uttar Pradesh): How much can customers withdraw?
The eligible depositors of National Urban Co-operative Bank Ltd will be entitled to receive a deposit insurance claim amount of his/her deposits up to Rs 5 lakh only from the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation (DICGC).
The restrictions in the form of Directions under Section 35A of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, on the Pratapgarh-based co-operative bank come into force from the close of business on Monday (April 15, 2024).

"In particular, a sum not exceeding Rs 10,000 of the total balance across all savings bank or current accounts or any other account of a depositor, may be allowed to be withdrawn subject to the conditions stated in the above RBI Directions," the central bank said.
