  • About ₹35,000 crore unclaimed deposits as of February 2023 were transferred to the RBI by public sector banks (PSBs) in respect of deposits, which were not operated for 10 years or more.
  • The deposits remaining unclaimed for 10 years in a bank are transferred to the ‘Depositor Education and Awareness’ (DEA) Fund maintained by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
 Indian Financial Technology & Allied Services (IFTAS)

  •   Indian Financial Technology & Allied Services (IFTAS) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Reserve Bank of India, that designs, deploys & provides the essential IT-related services, required by the Reserve Bank of India, banks, and financial institutions.
