ATM outside home network will be expensive
According to the report, under the rules changing from May 1 (Rule Change From 1st May), if any transaction is done from an ATM machine outside the home bank network, or balance is checked, then the user will have to pay more charge. Let us tell you that at present, the charge for using ATMs outside the home bank network is applicable and it is going to increase even more from May 1. It is worth noting that this increase is part of the amendment approved by RBI based on the proposal of National Payment Corporation of India (NPCI).
How much will the charge increase from May 1
According to the report, till now if customers used to withdraw money from a bank ATM of another network instead of their home bank’s ATM, then they had to pay a charge of Rs 17 on every transaction, which will increase to Rs 19 from May 1. Apart from this, if you used to check the balance from another bank’s ATM, then a fee of Rs 6 was charged on it, which will now be increased to Rs 7.
What is the free transaction limit of banks
Let us tell you here that these charges are applicable when bank users withdraw money after their free monthly transaction limit. In metro cities, the limit of free transactions from ATMs of other banks other than the home bank has been fixed at five, while in non-metro cities the limit of free transactions is three.
White level ATM operators were demanding
The demand for ATM withdrawal fee hike was being continuously made by white-label ATM operators. Their argument was that the old fee is low considering the increasing operational costs. After the RBI’s approval of NPCI’s proposal, now the pressure on small banks is expected to increase. In fact, they are highly dependent on the ATM network of other banks due to their limited infrastructure.
It is important to know that the increased interchange fee is the amount that a bank pays to another bank when one of its customers uses the ATM of another bank to withdraw money.
