State Bank of India (SBI) customers will have to pay Rs 60 per year for getting SMS alerts, a move which is likely to be followed by other public sector lenders.
“With effect from quarter ending June 2013, SMS charges of Rs 15 inclusive of service tax per quarter will be recovered,” SBI said in an announcement.
Private sector banks ICICI and HDFC are already charging Rs 60 per year, excluding service tax, for sending special SMSes other than withdrawal and deposit alerts to its customers.
