19. The Deposit Insurance Corporation (DIC) Act 1961 was initially extended to the functioning of commercial banks. In the early 1960s, 287 banks got registered with it as insured banks which were reduced to 100 as a result of RBI’s policy of reconstruction and amalgamation of small and financially weak banks. In 1968, the DIC was amended to extend deposit insurance to 'eligible co-operative banks'. 1971 witnessed the establishment of another institution the Credit Guarantee Corporation of India Ltd (CGCI). The establishment of the CGCI was essentially in the realm of affirmative action to ensure that the credit needs of the hitherto neglected sectors, and weaker sections were met. The essential concern was to persuade banks to make available credit to not so creditworthy clients. In 1978, the DIC and the CGCI were merged to form the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation (DICGC). With the financial sector reforms undertaken in the 1990s, credit guarantees have been gradually phased out, and the focus of the Corporation is again back to its core function of Deposit Insurance with the objective of averting panics, reducing systemic risk, and ensuring financial stability.
