You might feel like, I have not made any payment, who else did this. ?
Has my bank account been hacked by someone else?

Wait Wait my dear friends..!!
Don’t worry, this is not the payment done by you and also your SBI account is not hacked and it is completely safe.
Then who made this transaction from my SBI Savings Bank Account?
It’s none other than, the State Bank of India i.e. SBI.
SBI..! Yes, It’s SBI
But why and for what purpose they charged this much amount from my Savings Bank account?
Are using any SBI Debit / ATM card?
Yes, I am using it..!

As you know, the State Bank of India (SBI) generally hosts different types of Debit cards with numerous offers. Normally, It offers Five types of Debit Cards.
1. Classic debit card
2. Silver / Global Contactless Debit Card
If you are an SBI customer using any of the above two cards, then, the amount you will be charged is Rs.125/- which is the annual maintenance charge. And GST will be charged @ 18% i.e. Rs.22.50/-.
In Total, it comes to Rs.147.50/-. It is the amount that has been debited from your SBI savings account as part of the Terms and conditions of the SBI.
3. Yuva / Gold / Combo / My Card (Image) Debit card
If you are using this card, then, the amount you will be charged for this card is Rs.175/- which is the Annual Maintenance charge and GST will be charged @ 18% i.e. Rs.31.50/-. In Total, it comes to Rs.206.50/-
4. Platinum Debit Card
If you are using this card, then, the amount you will be charged for this card is Rs.250/- which is the Annual Maintenance charge and GST will be charged @ 18% i.e. Rs.45/-. In total, it comes to Rs.295/-.
5. Pride / Premium business card
The amount you will be charged for this card is Rs.300 which is the annual maintenance charge and GST will be charged at 18% i.e. Rs.54/-. In total, it comes to Rs.354/-.
So most of the customers use Classic debit cards, therefore, SBI charges them Rs.125/- as Annual Maintenance and charges Rs.22.5/- as GST. So you will get a message that Rs.147.5/- rupees have been deducted from your Savings bank account.
I hope now your doubt is cleared.
The Annual Maintenance Charges of this Debit card are collected by SBI from the second year of issuing the debit card only and not from the first year of issuing.
