Non-Maintenance Charges
If the quarterly average balance falls short, IndusInd Bank applies a charge based on the shortfall percentage. Charges typically range from Rs. 150 to Rs. 750 per quarter depending on the account type and how much below the threshold the balance falls.
GST at 18% is charged on the non-maintenance fee.
