Srinagar, Aug 17: With the RBI allowing banks to levy an interchange fee of ₹ 17 per financial transaction and ₹ 6 for each non-financial transaction at all centres starting 1 August 2022, the way customers are being charged by banks has changed now.
Besides collecting ATM service charges, all the major banks also charge an annual fee on debit cards or ATM cards, depending on the kind of card a customer possesses.
The number of free transactions at the ATMs may differ on the type of account and the debit card you hold. Using the ATMs beyond the permissible limit of free monthly transactions will be chargeable.
According to a notification issued by the Reserve Bank of India in June last year, the banks were allowed to charge ₹ 21 per transaction at the ATM above the monthly free transaction limit, effective from 1 January 2022. Earlier, the banks were allowed to charge ₹ 20 for each such transaction.
The below compilation provides a comparison of various types of ATM charges levied by SBI, PNB, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and Axis Bank:
