Have an SBI account? Brace yourself to pay more service charges from today.

While the government is urging citizens to move towards a cashless economy, country's largest bank State Bank of India has announced revised service charges on online transactions and also for exchanging soiled notes at bank branches.

The charges are effective from Thursday, June 1, 2017, and here are the increased charges you will have to factor in. 

1. ATM transactions:

Cash withdrawal from SBI's mobile app, State Bank Buddy, through ATM will now be charged Rs 25 per transaction. No charges will be levied on four ATM transactions in a month. Beyond four transactions, service charges will be levied on Basic Savings Bank Deposit account at Rs 20 plus service tax per transaction on other banks' ATMs and Rs 10 plus service tax per transaction on SBI's own ATMs. Other than that, normal bank accounts, such as the savings bank account, will continue to attract eight free ATM transactions in metros and ten free transactions in non-metros.

7th Pay Commission: Latest Update On Allowances (Including HRA)

The Empowered Committee of Secretaries has finalised 7th pay commission-related allowances (including HRA or house rent allowance) proposals for consideration of the Union Cabinet, a senior employee union leader told NDTV, citing sources. The Cabinet did not take up the 7th pay commission allowances in today's meeting as it was not part of the agenda, sources told NDTV. The union leader expects the Cabinet to take up the matter soon. The Empowered Committee of Secretaries met on June 1 to screen the report on 7th pay commission allowances (including HRA) to prepare proposals for consideration by the government, the union leader said.

The Ashok Lavasa committee, which examined the 7th pay commission's recommendations on allowances, submitted its report to the finance minister on April 27. The committee was headed by Finance Secretary Ashok Lavasa and had Secretaries of Home Affairs, Defence, Health & Family Welfare, Personnel & Training, and Post, and Chairman, Railway Board, as Members, and Joint Secretary (Implementation Cell) as Member Secretary.
