I am in favour of deregulation of all type of business by bank on commercial terms but a month ago I realize that how much wrong I was.I have deposited a cheque of dividends of 75 Rs Havell India a outstation cheque in my bank and they have credited the my bank account with 75 Rs after 10 days and also debited my account with 85 Rs charge 50 Rs minimum charges plus 35 courier charges means net debit of Rs 10.Then I thought that this type of discretionary charges by banks are not in favour of small depositor and I should report this to RBI but like all other passive persons in the community I forgot about the issue in next two three days...But as you know all Indian are not passive and some active persons has brought this charges to the kind notice of the RBI and I am very thankful to RBI that they have issued a Instruction which is applicable to all Banks with Immediate Effect from date of issue of Circular i e 8.10.2008.

so where as earlier banks were charging on percentage basic on full amount plus out of pocket charges but now for collection of outstation cheque charges ,RBI has delink % commission charges and fixed a upper ceiling as well .Earlier commission rates Collection of outstation cheques were 2 Rs per thousand to 5 or more Rs/thousand and varies from bank to bank and nature of account you have with the bank.
I have browsed some bank websites and the existed rates of collection for common saving account and given a benefit chart for cheque amounting to Rs 100,1000,10000,100000,500000 means comparison of charges on the basic of old rate and and rate based upon new circular by RBI as below
