For all DD-related fees, go to page 8 of this
document.

Physical Signed Account Statement Delivery
Working on your visa or loan application? You might need a signed banking statement.
There is a fee of ₹100 + GST per page. The charges are capped at ₹500 + GST. This means, even if your statement is more than 5 pages, you will only be charged ₹500 + GST.
Balance Certificate

We can send you an official Balance Certificate 📜
In fact, we’ll deliver it to your doorstep.
All this for just ₹100!
Interest Certificate
This certificate verifies how much interest you earned.
Centred specifically on your savings account & Fixed/Smart deposits.
If you need one, we’ll send one for free on a yearly basis. Need more, we charge you ₹100 per interest certificate.
Other Bank ATMs Transactions decline charges (due to insufficient funds in account)
You can check your balance (for free) anytime on the Fi app!
So, there’s only a ghost of a chance that this scenario may happen👻
Either way, there’s a ₹25 per cash decline at other bank ATMs. So ensure you have sufficient funds before trying to withdraw.
Outward return charges
If the cheque bounces -
* First time: ₹125;
* Second time: ₹250;
* Three or more times: ₹500.
Note: Every financial quarter (3 months), the fee cycle is reset.
Inward return charges
Fi users have the option of submitting cheques as well. In an unlikely scenario, if a cheque gets returned there’s a fee.
It’s called an Inward Return Charge, and it’s ₹150.
Collection of cheques (outstation)/Inward LCC
Our banking partner is willing to collect cheques from users.
There’s a fee involved for processing these cheques.
It starts from ₹15 onwards. Read more on page 5 of this
document.
ECS/NACH
National Automated Clearing House (NACH) & Electronic Clearing Service (ECS).
They help complete high-volume, interbank online transfers that are fixed and periodic! Think regular EMIs, loan repayments, and so on. Turn to page 6 of this
document for the fees.
Note: The govt requires Goods and Services Tax (GST) on all these charges. So, expect to see an 18% GST additional charge on these fees.
