Looking at the tremendous amount of deposits in Jan Dhan accounts, RBI has now imposed a withdrawal limit of Rs. 10,000 per month. This limit is only allowed for the KYC compliant account holders. Although, the branch managers may allow you to withdraw a sum exceeding Rs. 10,000 after ascertaining the genuineness of such withdrawals and properly documenting the transaction.
It is evident that such a step has been taken to protect the rural people from money laundering and black money activities going in the market.
Further, Non – KYC compliant or limited account holders can withdraw a sum of Rs. 5,000 per month only. Also, the total ceiling limit for such bank account holders stays at Rs. 10,000.
