TAT Harmonization Rules of RBI

In the year 2019, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had issued a circular, in which instructions were issued to give equal compensation to customers for TAT i.e. Turn Around Time.

Simply put, if the bank does not refund the debited money within the stipulated time in case of a failed transaction, then the bank will have to pay you a fine. Not only this, according to this rule of RBI, the penalty will increase according to the number of days the bank does in giving late refund.

Penalty Will Be Given Only In This Situation

Let us tell you that your bank will give you penalty only if there is a reason behind the failure of the transaction which was not under your control.

How Long Is The Limit?

Money was deducted after transaction in ATM but money did not come out from ATM, then in this situation, the bank will have to refund the deducted money within 5 days.

In case of card to card transfer, if money is deducted from the account but not credited to the beneficiary’s account, then in this case the bank has to refund the amount to the bank within a total of 2 working days including T+1 i.e. the transaction day and the next day.
