Phone banking : Rs 50
From 1 November, some banks will offer only first two calls free in a month, and subsequently, charge Rs 50 per call (not for calls to register complaints or card loss). Currently, all such calls are free.
SMS alert : Rs 15 per quarter
Most banks are now charging for SMS alerts; the service used to be free earlier. Some banks levy a higher charge of Rs 25 per quarter for current accounts.
Branch banking : Rs 100
With effect from 1 November, Rs 100 will be charged after the first four free cash transactions in a month. This is the charge if specified balance is maintained; in case of non-maintenance, all transactions will be charged at Rs 100. Earlier, Rs 50 was charged per cash transaction in case the specified balance was not maintained.
Credit cards : 3.25-3.35%
Some credit card issuers have revised the interest rate on outstanding amount after the credit free period from 3.05-3.15% to 3.25%, with effect from 1 October.
Non-maintenance of minimum balance : Rs 250-500
