What changes are there in the RBI’s new ATM rules?
RBI has clarified the rules regarding ATM transactions, cash limits, and bank charges.
In metro cities, customers are entitled to three free ATM transactions. This includes both cash withdrawals and balance checks.
In non-metro cities, ATM customers are allowed five free transactions.
If you exceed the prescribed limit, banks will charge a fee. A maximum of ₹23 plus GST per transaction is applicable. Some banks charge ₹11 for non-financial transactions (such as balance checks).
There are no charges on cash deposits. Providing PAN and Aadhaar is mandatory for cash deposits/withdrawals of ₹20 lakh or more in a year. This rule is in place to curb black money.
How to avoid charges
Do not use your bank’s ATM frequently. Do so only when necessary.
Use net banking/mobile banking for balance checks and statements.
