MUMBAI: The Reserve Bank of India will now levy a processing fee of 25-50 paise for inter-bank retail electronic payments. Twenty five paise will be levied on the originating bank for outward and return transactions.
The originating bank will also pay 25 paise for every credit transaction and 50 paise for every debit transaction. The central bank restricts banks from passing on the charges to customers.
The charges will be levied from July 1. The Reserve Bank of India had waived off the processing charges since 2006.
But since the usage of retail electronic payment has increased substantially now, the banking regulator is in a position to levy the processing charges, a circular released by the Reserve bank of India said.
