New Delhi: Some of the Private and Public undertaking banks including Bank of Baroda and Axis Bank will now charge from their customers on deposit and withdrawing money. As per reports, the Bank of Baroda will start charging its customers for transactions beyond the prescribed limits from November 1.
It is being said that while the first three withdrawal transactions of every month will be free, a fee of Rs 150 will be charged beyond that. Similarly, for deposits, Rs 40 will be levied after the first three transactions.
Names of other banks include Bank of India, PNB, ICICI Bank, and Central Bank also in talks in this matter but did not give any decision yet. On this decision, the Congress General Secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala smash the BJP Government and said, "Modi Sarkar ka Naya Kamar tod tohfa".
This will give a slight shock to the bank customers and surely reduce the transaction made by them. It is being said that withdrawals three times in a month will be free but after that, a withdrawal transaction charge will be levied at a flat fee of Rs 150.
Similarly, deposits three times in a month will be free but thereafter a charge of Rs 40 will be levied on each transaction.
