A message that is going viral on Facebook claims that banks will now charge Rs 150 after 4 transactions from ATM.
” ATM से 4 बार से अधिक पैसा निकालने पर 150 रु टैक्स और 23 रुपये सर्विस चार्ज मिलाकर कुल 173 कटेंगे.. एक और तोहफा । 1 जून से बैंक में 4 ट्रांसेक्शन के बाद हर ट्रांसेक्शन पर 150 रुपये चार्ज लगेगा । जनता के गले पर एक बार में छुरा क्यों नहीं फेर देते?? कमाओ तो टैक्स, बचाओ तो टैक्स और तो और बैंक में जमा कराओ तो टैक्स फिर वापस निकालो तो टैक्स ( आप सभी से आग्रह इसे आगे फ़ॉरवर्ड करें) चुप बैठ कर न सहें । ” the caption read.
