Major banks in the country offer a fixed number of ATM-cum-debit card transactions free of cost every month. The banks charge customers for transactions at ATMs over and above the permitted number of free transactions allowed in a month. The ATM card charges apply depending on the type - whether it belongs to the same bank where the customer's account is located or some other bank - and nature of ATM - whether the ATM is located in a metropolitan or any other city in the country. Banks, from state-run State Bank of India (SBI) to private sector peers such as HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank - also charge customers for issuance and annual maintenance of an ATM-cum-debit card.
