Now the third-party ATM use will have limited withdrawal amount and the number of transactions each month. People can take out a maximum of Rs.10,000 per withdrawal from other ATMs and they will have five free transactions for month.
Indian Bank Association (IBA) recommended in July about the restriction on usage of third-party ATM. Followed by the Reserve Bank of India had asked banks to enforce the restrictions from mid-October. The step followed recommendations by Indian Banks' Association (IBA), an industry lobby. Bank had complaint that they had overload due to use of ATMs and they did not have any benefit of this burden.
