SBI Savings Account: Tips To Avoid Penalty, Minimum Balance Rules, More
Do you hold a savings bank account with India's largest bank? State Bank of India or SBI now charges its savings bank account customers for not maintaining certain amounts it has set based on their branch locations. For instance, SBI, which last month revised the minimum balance requirements for maintaining savings accounts, requires its savings bank account customers in metros to maintain a monthly average balance or MAB of Rs 5,000. The charges are levied on the basis of location of branch where the customer holds his or her account - rural, urban, semi-urban or metro branch. This was said by SBI on microblogging site Twitter.
