Enter your facts

Format: bank, capacity/right key, principal, accrued interest, eligible set-off. Use the same key only where accounts are genuinely held in the same capacity and same right. If bank dues/set-off apply to a group, enter the supported amount only once across that group so it is not double-counted.

What this tool does

Group deposits by bank and legal capacity/right to estimate DICGC-insured balance and exposure above the ₹5 lakh ceiling.

DICGC coverage is not calculated account-by-account in isolation when multiple deposits are held with the same bank in the same capacity and same right. This tool therefore groups rows before applying the ₹5 lakh ceiling.

Different banks are separately insured. Different capacities/rights may also receive separate treatment, while accounts of a sole proprietor and the same person in individual capacity are an important aggregation case described by DICGC. Joint-account name/order patterns also matter.

The optional set-off field is included because deposit insurance can require netting eligible dues in some circumstances. Do not enter a speculative set-off: use an amount supported by the bank/claim facts, and do not repeat the same bank due on multiple rows within one insurance group.

This is an exposure-planning calculator, not a determination that a particular bank is under moratorium or that a payout is presently due. Users should verify the bank appears in DICGC’s insured-bank information when that question matters.

Calculation methodology

Indicative insured amount per same-bank/same-capacity group = min(net eligible principal + interest, ₹5,00,000).

The engine validates required values before calculating and rejects impossible combinations instead of converting them to zero silently. Dates, thresholds and category switches that drive the result remain visible to the user.

Applicable rule and legal basis

The logic on this page is built from the instrument(s) below. Where a rule did not clearly cover a scenario, that scenario is excluded rather than estimated.

Reading and interpreting the result

1. Confirm the classification

The most common error in regulated calculations is not arithmetic; it is putting the facts into the wrong legal or product category. Check the transaction, entity, holding, policy or taxpayer classification before relying on the number.

2. Preserve the evidence trail

Keep statements, acknowledgements, invoices, policy schedules, complaint IDs, tax workings or orders that support the inputs. A number without an evidence trail is difficult to defend in a complaint, return, claim or review.

3. Re-check the effective date

Rules can change. This page records a source-check date, not a fabricated professional review date. If the event belongs to an older period, confirm that the rule version used here applies to that period.

Frequently asked questions

Is interest covered?

Yes, principal plus interest is covered within the overall ₹5 lakh ceiling for the relevant insurance grouping.

If I split ₹10 lakh into two FDs at the same bank, do I get ₹10 lakh cover?

Not merely because there are two accounts. Same-bank deposits in the same capacity and right are aggregated.

Are deposits at two different banks separately covered?

DICGC states that the limit applies separately to deposits at different banks.

What should I use as the capacity/right key?

Use a consistent description such as Individual, Trustee-X, Guardian-Y or a specific joint-account combination/order, based on the actual legal holding.

Does this cover mutual funds or company deposits?

No. This calculator is for deposits covered by DICGC’s deposit-insurance framework, not investment products generally.

Methodology, assumptions and sources

Scope: Computes interest on delayed GST tax payment under Section 50 of the CGST Act.

Calculation logic

  1. Interest = Tax amount paid late × 18% per annum (or 24% per annum for the specific case of ITC wrongly availed and utilised, per the proviso) × (Number of days delayed ÷ 365).
  2. Interest is computed on the net tax liability payable via the electronic cash ledger (after ITC set-off), consistent with the current interpretation of Section 50(1) as clarified by CBIC circular, from the day after the due date until the date of actual payment.
  3. Where the case involves wrongly availed and utilised ITC, apply the higher 24% rate specifically to that portion, per Section 50(3), while the remaining (non-ITC-related) shortfall continues at 18%.
