RBI Amendment Directions for Rural Banks Financial Statements
Summary
The Reserve Bank of India has issued second amendment directions for Regional Rural Banks' financial statements. These amendments modify the disclosure requirements regarding the payment of Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation (DICGC) insurance premiums, effective April 1, 2026.
What changed
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has issued the Second Amendment Directions to the Regional Rural Banks – Financial Statements: Presentation and Disclosures Directions, 2025. This amendment specifically modifies paragraph 10(11)(vi) concerning the disclosure of DICGC insurance premium payments. Banks are now required to disclose in their annual reports whether the deposit insurance premium was paid to DICGC within the prescribed timelines, and if not, this non-compliance must also be disclosed.
These changes are effective from April 1, 2026, and are a consequence of the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation's (DICGC) implementation of the Risk Based Premium (RBP) Framework. Regional Rural Banks must update their financial reporting and disclosure procedures to comply with the new requirements regarding the reporting of DICGC premium payments and any arrears.
What to do next
- Update annual report disclosure templates to include specific statements on DICGC premium payment timelines.
- Establish internal controls to track and ensure timely payment of DICGC insurance premiums.
- Document and disclose any instances of delayed DICGC premium payments in the annual report.
