| ATMs should be stand-alone | 16-OCT-09 |
|
| The freedom that bank customers have been enjoying since April, in using any bank’s automatic teller machine, to withdraw cash without incurring any charge is about to end. Banks will now be free to levy a charge for withdrawals beyond five per month and also impose a ceiling of Rs 10,000 on individual withdrawals. Banks are, however, free to continue with the current regime and at least one bank has decided to do so, seeing a competitive business advantage in making the offer. So long as the reimposed restrictions are not excessive, they will not be irksome and may even be considered as useful in imposing some discipline among customers. The new rules are in response to banks’ complaint that customers were using the free third-party facility excessively (too many withdrawals in small amounts), thus imposing a not insignificant cost on banks. |
