The revision applies mainly to SBI debit card holders using ATMs of other banks in India and has been introduced due to an increase in interchange fees.
The revised charges will impact savings account holders, salary account customers, and current account users, while some categories will continue to enjoy free transactions.
Why SBI Has Revised ATM Charges
According to the official notice, ATM transaction charges were last revised in February 2025. Due to an upward revision in interchange fees charged between banks, SBI has decided to revise customer-facing charges for certain ATM transactions at non-SBI ATMs.
