Karnani emphasized the importance of staying calm and patient, stating that panic-induced decisions could lead to financial missteps. Instead, customers should adopt a well-informed and calculated approach to minimize the impact on their personal finances.

He advised customers to stay vigilant and closely monitor updates from the RBI and the bank regarding the next steps. He also highlighted the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation (DICGC) scheme, which insures deposits up to ₹5 lakh per depositor per bank, urging customers to assess their exposure accordingly.

To ensure financial stability, he recommended that customers open an account with another financially stable bank, diversify their savings, and redirect salary credits and payments. Additionally, he stressed the need to secure immediate liquidity through alternative sources such as personal loans or credit lines to manage potential cash flow disruptions.
