The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has recently raised the interchange fee that banks can charge on ATM transactions. The interchange fee for financial transactions has been hiked from 15 to 17, while for non-financial transactions the increase is from 5 to 6. The new rates will be applicable from August 1, 2021.

According to RBI, an interchange fee is a fee charged by banks to merchants processing payments through credit cards or debit cards. This fee has been a bone of contention between banks and ATM deployment companies.

ATM cash withdrawal rule changes

RBI also said that customers are eligible for five free transactions, inclusive of financial and non-financial transactions, every month from their own bank ATMs. They are also eligible for free transactions from other bank ATMs, which include three transactions in metros and five in non-metros.

Beyond the free transactions, the ceiling on customer charges is 20 per transaction at present, which will be hiked to 21 from 1 January 2022. "To compensate the banks for the higher interchange fee and given the general escalation in costs, they are allowed to increase the customer charges to 21 per transaction. This increase shall be effective from January 1, 2022," the RBI said in a statement.
