ATM loot - Unite and fight for rights - Dr.T.V.Gopalakrishnan



Banking itself is becoming a mess and the way things are moving depositors would be asked to pay a fee for depositing the money. The use of technology is to save cost of transactions and ATMs have facilitated to save a lot of cost in terms of maintaining branches and staff at a high cost.SB account holders get a pittance of 4% for their balances and on that they have to pay taxes also if the interest exceed Rs 10000. Banks can manage to accommodate lakhs of Crores of NPAs and write off of loans again at the cost of depositors as there is absolutely no resistance from them. Charging for ATM withdrawal is nothing but a planned loot and RBI should not be party to this.Time depositors unite and fight for their rights.
