Recently, Axis Bank has revived the charge for its SMS service, in which now Axis Bank will charge 25 paise per SMS or a maximum of Rs 15 for quarterly SMS service. If you want to stop this service, then here we are telling about it.
Earlier it was known for 25 rupees
Axis Bank changed the rules of SMS service three years ago in 2021 as per TRAI rules. After this change, Axis Bank used to charge 25 paise per SMS or a maximum of Rs 25 per quarter from the account holder. This rate came into effect from July 1, 2021, but once again Axis Bank has changed its charge and now from December 15, 2024, Axis Bank will charge 25 paise per SMS or a maximum of Rs 15 per quarter from the account holders.
These bank customers will not have to pay the charge
SMS charge will not be applicable on Axis Bank premium account holders, bank staff, salary account holders, pension account holders, small and basic accounts. If you operate any of these accounts, then you do not need to worry about SMS charge. At the same time, no charge will be made by the bank for any information or OTP message.
