Usage of Automated Teller Machines / Cash Recycler Machines– Review of Interchange Fee and Customer Charges vide its notification number RBI/2021-22/52 dated 10 June, 2021
Due to the increasing cost of ATM deployment and expenses towards ATM maintenance incurred by banks/ white label ATM operators, and as also considering the need to balance expectations of stakeholder entities and customer convenience, the following amendment has been made in accordance with Section 10(2) read with Section 18 of the Payment and Settlement Systems Act, 2007 (Act 51 of 2007):

• Increase in interchange fee per transaction from ?15 to ?17 for financial transactions and from ?5 to ?6 for non-financial transactions in all centres. This shall be effective from August 1, 2021. • 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 (inclusive of financial and non-financial transactions) from other bank ATMs viz. three transactions in metro centers and five transactions in non-metro centers. Beyond the free transactions, the ceiling / cap on customer charges is ?20 per transaction.

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.
These instructions shall also apply, mutatis mutandis, to transactions done at Cash Recycler Machines (other than for cash deposit transactions).
