What happens when a safety deposit box gets robbed?

When a safety deposit box is robbed, the bank typically investigates the incident to assess the extent of the theft and identify any security breaches.

Why deposit mobilisation is necessary?

As you might already know, the main business for banks is accepting deposits and granting loans. The more the loans the banks disburse, the more profit they make. Also, banks do not have a lot of their own money to give as loans. They depend on customer deposits to generate funds for granting loans to other customers. So a deposit mobilization scheme would encourage customers to deposit more cash with the bank and this money in turn will be used by the bank to disburse more loans and generate additional revenue for themselves.

Yes, it does. It is an arm of the federal government, and not truly "insurance". Instead, it is more in the nature of a bail-out fund that the government operates to make whole, to a statutory limit, depositors in failed banks.

When the FDIC determines that a bank is failing, it may attempt to salvage it by appointing itself as a receiver to run it and get it back on its feet. If that is not possible, the bank will be liquidated.
