SBI Annual Fee: Attention savings account holders! The country's largest public sector bank, State Bank of India, is the trust of almost every Indian. Serving over 50 crore customers, SBI is often referred to as "every Indian's banker". The bank offers a wide range of debit cards to its customers, most of which are Classic, Silver, Global, and Contactless, as well as Platinum and Business debit cards, for which the bank charges an annual maintenance fee (AMC).
SBI Debit Card Annual Maintenance Fee Change
SBI has revised the annual maintenance fee for several of its debit cards, which will be effective from April 1, 2024, according to the bank's website. The new rates will apply to Platinum debit and business cards, including Classic, Silver, Global, and Contactless cards, with fees starting at Rs 200, plus 18 percent GST. This means that the bank deducts GST from the customer's savings bank account. So, Rs 200 + 18% of Rs 200 = Rs 200 + Rs 36 = Rs 236.
Annual charges for Classic, Silver, Global, and Contactless Debit Cards
The annual maintenance charges for these cards have been increased from Rs 125 (+GST) to Rs 200 (+GST). This means that the bank deducts GST from the customer's savings bank account. So, Rs 200 + 18% of Rs 200 = Rs 200 + Rs 36 = Rs 236.

SBI Platinum Debit Card Annual Charges
The annual maintenance charge for Platinum Debit Cards has been increased from Rs 250 (+GST) to Rs 325 (+GST). However, the bank deducts GST from the customer's savings bank account. Therefore, Rs 325 + 18% of Rs 325 = Rs 325 + Rs 58.5 = Rs 383.5.
