PMC Bank: Relief for customers, RBI increases withdrawal limit to Rs 25,000
India TodayIn a major relief to the hapless customers of the crippled Punjab & Maharashtra Cooperative Bank, the Reserve Bank on Thursday increased the cash withdrawal limit to Rs 25,000 per account-holder from Rs 10,000 set earlier, but retained the six-months curbs. The regulator also said the relaxation in withdrawals will take care of over 70 per cent of the customers of the cooperative bank focused on low-income customers. It has been decided to allow the depositors to withdraw a sum not exceeding Rs 10,000 of the total balance held in every savings bank account or current account or any other deposit account, the RBI said. With the relaxation, more than 70 per cent of the depositors of the bank will be able to withdraw their entire account balance, the central bank said.
