PSU banks waive ATM charges for customers during three-day bank strike
State-owned banks will waive automated teller machine (ATM) charges beyond your free transaction limit during the September 28 to 30 strike. Employee unions at the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) backed the strike call. With the weekend attached, banking services could shut for five days. So plan your cash and transfers early, and use ATMs without extra charges.
