Charges are deducted for not maintaining minimum balance
Most banks ask to maintain a minimum balance in their savings account and for this they also keep a fixed amount. If the balance is less than that decided amount, the bank charges you a penalty by deducting the amount. The amount of penalty imposed by all banks is different. This also varies according to the area of the branch.
In branches in urban areas, more money is deducted for not maintaining minimum balance. Whereas, the same bank will deduct less money in branches in rural areas.
