Regards Answer: Financial Resolution and Deposit Insurance Bill 2017 (FRDI) has still not been finalized. The government is waiting for the recommendations of the Joint Committee of Parliament on the FRDI Bill. Some people have expressed concern on the bail-in clause of the FRDI 2017 bill and worry that their deposit money may end up being used to bail-in failing financial institutions.
