 Tender for Empanelment of CA firm for verification / certification of claim list andbooks of records of insured banks placed under All Inclusive Direction (AID) &
 Transferee banks - Expression of Interest
 DICGC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Reserve Bank of India, settles the deposit insuranceclaims of eligible depositors (of Liquidated/ Placed under AID/ Transferee banks) in terms of
 provisions of the DICGC Act, 1961. For this purpose, we appoint Chartered Accountants
 (CAs) for verification / certification of claim list and books of records of insured banks under
 AID and transferee banks which involves on-site verification and submission of report.
 2. The DICGC Act has been amended with a provision in Sec 18 A for discharging the liabilitytowards banks which are placed under restrictions under BR Act. Specifically and exclusively
 for this purpose and to complete the verification process within the time period, DICGC
 invites bids [as per DICGC prescribed format (Annexure I) of Technical bidding - Form 1
 along with appendices 1 & 2, Annex I A and (Annexure II) Financial bidding - Form 2] from
 all such eligible Statutory Central Auditors (SCAs) who are empanelled with C&AG have their
 head office/branch office headed by a CA partner in the state in which the bank is
 headquartered placed under restrictions under BR Act,1949. The List of banks is indicated
 in annexure to the enclosed RfP (Annex VI). Considering that the work pertains to verification
 of claims and ascertainment of genuineness of the willingness of depositors to enable DICGC
 to make payment, the present Statutory Auditor, and present Concurrent Auditor of DICGC
 whose duty it is to verify whether DICGC has carried out the said process appropriately, shall
 not be eligible to apply, in view of the perceived conflict of interest. Further, this being a
 specific assignment and in order to ensure that the work is completed within the time period
 stipulated under the statute (in respect of banks which are under such restrictions specified
 in Sec 18 A of DICGC Act), those CA firms who have been currently empanelled for
 verification of claims of banks under liquidation (in 2018, 2019 and 2020) and any other CA
 firm presently doing any assignment for DICGC are not eligible to apply. In order to ensure
 compliance with the statutory prescriptions of time, it has been decided that no two banks
 shall be allotted to the same CA firm and accordingly, a CA firm selected as per the process
 shall not be allotted more than one bank. The decision of DICGC in this regard shall be final.
 An indicative ‘Terms of reference (TOR) for appointment of CA’ are annexed (Annexure III)
