During FY 2022–23 to FY 2024–25, Public Sector Banks (PSBs) have collected ₹8,092.83 crore customers, on account of non-maintenance Minimum Monthly Average Balance (MAB).

The amount of ₹8,092.83 crore collected over the last three financial years constitutes approximately 0.23% of the total income of Public Sector Banks during the same period.

SBI had completely waived off penal charges for non-maintenance of minimum MAB in saving accounts since March 2020. In 2025 nine more PSBs have completely waived off such charges. The remaining two PSBs have also rationalised minimum balance charges in 2025.
