If the free ATM transaction limit is exceeded, ATM users will have to pay more charges. On crossing the free ATM transaction limit from January 1 itself, ATM users will have to pay more charges.
RBI has allowed to increase the charges for cash and non-cash ATM transactions after the free monthly limit from January 1, 2022. According to the guidelines of the Reserve Bank (RBI), the fee for financial transactions above the free limit at Axis Bank or other banks’ ATMs will be Rs 21 plus GST.
