    It is no joke but the fact. RBI finally woke up and did something really good for the common man.

    Countryboy is right that it is really absurd to pay for withdrawing your own money...I am glad that better sense finally prevailed.

    I believe Australia recently introduced a law that ATMs can charge whatever they like for transactions, and then you still have to add on the fees your bank charges you.

    Not really when you consider the manufacturing and operating costs of providing such a convenient service.

    Well reverse of what it is in INDIA

    Well infrastructure cost i guess is recovered by banks already in terms of other fees they charge in different forms and they are relying on heavy profits so its a good move by RBI
