In the new structure, the monthly membership fee to Scheduled Commercial bank will be Rs.5000 + service tax. The processing charges per outward transaction will attract earlier cap of ₹0.50 (exclusive of service tax) and a time varying charge which is as under

₹ 2 lakh to ₹ 5 lakh- ₹ 25 + applicable time varying charge, subject to a maximum of ₹ 30/-.

Above ₹ 5 lakh- ₹ 50 + applicable time varying charge, subject to a maximum of ₹ 55/-.
