SBI, the biggest lender in the country, recently reduced the monthly average balance requirement for metro cities and slashed charges for non-maintenance by up to 50 per cent, effective from October 1. For the purpose of monthly average balance, all SBI savings bank accounts are segregated into four categories of branches – metro, urban, semi-urban and rural. Earlier, the monthly average balance required for savings accounts was Rs. 5,000 in metro branches. Now, that stands reduced to Rs. 3,000 after revision. The monthly average balance requirement for other three categories of accounts – urban, semi-urban and rural branches – stands unchanged at Rs. 3,000, Rs. 2,000 and Rs. 1,000 respectively, according to SBI.

SBI further said that savings accounts of pensioners, beneficiaries of social benefits from the government and the accounts of minors will be exempt from maintaining monthly average balance. This revision will benefit another 5 crore account holders, according to SBI.

Earlier, the charges for non-maintenance of monthly average balance in metro accounts used to range from Rs. 50 to Rs. 100 plus GST of 18 per cent, depending upon the degree of shortfall. Now, these charges stand reduced to Rs. 30-Rs. 50. For urban branch accounts also SBI has cut the charges for non-maintenance of monthly average balance to Rs. 30-Rs. 50, from Rs. 40-Rs. 80 earlier.

SBI has said that its savings bank customers will get eight free ATM transactions a month (five at SBI ATMs and three at ATMs of other banks) in metro cities and 10 free transactions in non-metro cities (five at SBI ATMs and five at ATMs of other banks).
