Sir,
Some banks are charging ATM Charges annually for the WB Govt salary account, some banks are not. Is there any direction for Govt. of W.B. that ATM charges is not applicable for WB Govt employees salary account. Plz advise and give me the G.O. NO., if any.
Some portion of G.O. No. 8301-F dated 26.8.09 produced below which will give you clear conception over the matter.
