Moneylife Foundation calls for a round-table discussion on ATMs usage and charges

..........Monelife Foundation has called for a round-table discussion on this issue at Moneylife Foundation Knowledge Centre at Dadar in Mumbai on 13 September 2014 between 2.30pm to 4.30pm. All citizens, activists and NGOs who wish to be part of this discussion and take this forward are invited to join the round-table. There is also a need to write to the RBI that any directive that leads to increased costs to the depositor must be discussed with bank customers, the largest stakeholders. Currently, banks have the freedom to decide their charges and interest rates without reference to RBI. So, if some banks found it prudent to curb usage or disallow third-party transactions, they could have gone ahead and done it without RBI’s intervention. So why the RBI directive?..........
