    The heading and lengthy paras confuse the readers, as if Rs24/- will be charged for every ATM withdrawal of exceeding Rs 5,000/-. Actually these charges are applicable in respect of transactions made over and above 5 normal withdrawals of free of charge. In simple, the present facility of 5 free withdrawals would continue
