Note: These rules for withdrawing cash from ATMs are changing after June 30
Soon after the lockout was announced in the country in view of the Corona virus, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on March 24 that the ATM fee was being withdrawn for three months. After the Finance Minister's announcement, ATM card holders were able to withdraw cash from any bank's ATM. Under this, they will not have to pay any charges for additional transactions. This discount was only for the months of April, May and June. Now that this exemption is expiring, no information has been received from the Finance Ministry or banks to continue it.
