To ease the difficulty faced by the public on account of demonetisation of higher currency notes, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has said the banks will renounce levy of ATM charges for all transactions by bank customers both at ATMs of their own banks as well as others, reported Hindu BusinessLine. This is irrespective of the number of transactions done during the month. This waiver is valid on transactions made at ATMs from 10 November 2016 to 30 December 2016.
Several bankers have said that less than half of the 2,18,542 ATMs are operating currently, as many of these machines are being recalibrated to distribute the new Rs 500 and Rs 2,000 notes, besides the Rs 100 notes.
Generally, customers are charged for transactions at their bank’s ATMs if they cross the mandated number of free transactions. In that case, the customers are charged up to Rs 20 per transaction.
The National Payments Corporation of India has said that it has waived the switching fee for all RuPay Issuing and Acquiring member banks for Point of Sales (PoS) and e-commerce transactions with effect from 11 November 2016 to 31 December 2016.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
