Time has come to migrate to a low cost bank irrespective of private or PSU near home and totally use NEFT, Google Pay, Phone pay, etc for payments...the key is we need to migrate from the high cost bank to a low cost bank without any emotions or our own money will be used up entirely by banks in many ways than low cost deposits as well as fines and charges for keeping our money with them. Better to keep 2 accounts minimum and transfer money online to the low cost bank and keep high cash with you in the first withdrawal itself... What more can be done?

Its unfair. The Banking system is becoming worst. If this continues time will come again people will not deposit money in bank instead will invest in somewhere else and this will again give way to black marketing.

If this continues like that people will lost trust on banking system and they will search for alternatives.
This is totally unfair for the common people.

Unfair charges as the money is provided to the bank at a cheap rate and lending rates are substantially higher than cost of funds.

There has been a continuous reduction in interest rates in line with other banks and also increase in service charges. At this rate there will be service charge for entering bank.The interest on deposits will be .5 % by 2024.
