Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer All Scheduled Banks Operating in Bangladesh Master Circular Regarding Submission of Deposit Insurance Premium Assessment Information and Premium Payment

Your attention is drawn to DID Circular No. 01, dated July 06, 2011, DID Circular No. 04, dated July 15, 2013, DID Circular Letter No. 01, dated December 23, 2020, DID Circular Letter No. 01, dated September 28, 2021, and DID Circular Letter No. 02, dated December 08, 2021, on the above subject.

To protect public confidence in the banking sector by protecting the deposits of small depositors in Bangladesh, to encourage savings, and to maintain discipline in this sector, the Deposit Insurance System has been in operation since 1984 to protect the stability of the overall financial sector. Currently, all scheduled banks operating in the country are compulsorily insured with the Deposit Insurance Trust Fund as per the 'Bank Deposit Insurance Act, 2000'. As per Section 5 of the said Act, all scheduled banks deposit premiums into the above fund at the time and in the manner prescribed by Bangladesh Bank.

For the purpose of premium calculation, deposit insurance premium assessment information is currently collected from all scheduled banks operating in Bangladesh every half-year according to a specific format. The collected information is verified by this department, and the amount of premium compulsorily payable by banks is determined by applying the prescribed premium rate. Now, to ensure the specificity of the deposit insurance premium assessment information to be submitted by banks, this Master Circular is being issued by consolidating the aforementioned circulars/circular letters issued by this department:

  1. Submission of Deposit Insurance Premium Assessment Information: All scheduled banks must prepare information according to the attached form (Annexure-A) and the instructions described therein. Softcopy and hardcopy of all prepared information must be submitted simultaneously.

If the last day for premium payment is a public holiday, the next first working day will be considered the last day.

  2. Measures for Failure to Pay Premium: (a) If an insured bank fails to pay the premium, an equivalent amount will be debited from the current account of the concerned bank held at Bangladesh Bank and deposited into the Deposit Insurance Trust Fund, by virtue of the power described in Section 5(3) of the 'Bank Deposit Insurance Act, 2000'. In this case, penal interest at the bank rate will be imposed on the premium for the delayed period.

(b) If an insured bank fails to pay the premium multiple times, Bangladesh Bank, by virtue of the power described in Section 6 of the 'Bank Deposit Insurance Act, 2000', after providing an opportunity for a hearing to the concerned bank, will direct it to refrain from accepting deposits for the period mentioned in the notification by a notification in the official gazette.

  1. Information Notification: Any fundamental change (temporary/permanent) in the regulatory compliance of banks, approved/instructed by various departments of Bangladesh Bank, which may affect the calculation of deposit insurance premium, must be timely informed to this department by the banks.

  2. Effectiveness: This instruction will be effective from the time of submission of December 31, 2023-based information applicable for the January-June, 2024 half-year.
