Bank Charges on Saving Bank Account Operations
According to my information these are basic Requirements for Digitization :
1.Savings bank account
2.Debit card for internet banking and POS transactions to avoid cash transactions
Discouragement Factors for Digitization and inconvenience being caused to general public and bank account holders:
1.Banks have started charging for Annual fees for Debit card which was free service by many banks till now.
2.Bank charges NEFT/Online bank transfer charges for transactions being done online.
3. Changes in the charges not being communicated from time to time though the banks have our entire contact details. No SMS, Emails or mails are being sent to update the account holders.
4. No consent taken by the Account holders for accepting such charges for the services being rendered. The account holder gets a surprise debit in his account one fine day at the mercy of bank's discretion to levy such charges without any time frame.
Banks are charging for every service being rendered. It has become more commercial and digging holes in the pockets of general public and account holders.
Are we heading towards Digitization or towards making profit making by banks from general public by adopting digitization???
Let us take up the matter with the Government for the inconvenience being caused to the bank account holders.
The Savings Bank Account Holders should be spared & relieved from such mandatory charges with immediate effect, and all such charges collected by bank be refunded back to its account holders. more
