Now when the transaction fails, the bank will refund in so many days - RBI's new rule RBI New Rule 2025
RBI New Rule 2025 - In today's digital era, most people use online payment - whether to withdraw money from ATMs, shop with cards or send money from UPI. But many times it happens that the transaction fails and money is deducted from the account.

Digital Desk: Neither cash is available, nor does the payment go to the front. In such a situation, the biggest problem is when the money will be returned. Now ending this concern, RBI has made strict rules.
Now not late, money back in due time
The RBI has ordered all banks through a circular that if the transaction of a customer fails and the money is deducted, the money will have to be returned within a fixed deadline. If the bank does not return the money in this time limit, then they will have to pay a fine of Rs 100 to the customer every day.
The name of this rule is - a standard rule of TAT harmonization i.e. Turn Around Time. This means that now banks will not get a chance to avoid customers' problem.
Which transactions are applicable to these rules?
1. No money came out of ATM, but cut off from account
If you withdraw money from the ATM, but the cash did not come out and the money was deducted, then the bank will have to return the money within 5 days. Every day a fine of Rs 100 will be incurred from the 6th day.
2. Card to card transfer failed
If you send money to someone else's card from the card and that transaction failed, then the bank will have to return the money within 2 days. Fines on the third day.
3. UPI or POS transaction failed
If the money was deducted from UPI, card swipe, IMPS or POS machine, the money was deducted and did not reach the front, then the bank will have to reverse within 1 day (T+1). If not done, it will be fined from the second day.
If the bank's fault is, only you will get a fine
If the transaction failed has occurred by your mistake - such as wrong UPI ID or password incorrectly inserted - then this penalty will not apply. But if the mistake is due to bank, network or technical reason, then it is the responsibility of the bank to return the money on time.
Bank's relaxation will no longer get excuse
This rule of RBI is a relief for millions of people who used to go round the bank for several days after being deducted. Earlier people used to complain, then the bank used to sit silent. Now the bank has been made accountable with this guideline of RBI.
