<h1>Tamil Nadu Chief Minister condemns RBI's ATM fee policy, calls it a barrier to financial inclusion for the poor.</h1> The Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu criticized the Reserve Bank of India's decision to allow banks to charge fees for ATM withdrawals beyond a set monthly limit, labeling it as 'institutionalized extraction.' He argued that this policy contradicts the goals of financial inclusion and will disproportionately affect the poor, including beneficiaries of schemes like MNREGA and the state's cash assistance program for women. The Chief Minister contended that these charges, along with penalties for low balances and fees on digital transactions, undermine the push towards a digital economy and primarily burden economically disadvantaged individuals.
