i, today, got a call recording in which customer care was talking with a customer saying that doing UBI transaction, it increases transactions limit even if you do small amount of transaction it will be counted for doing safe transaction we need to have current account. is this true?

If you are doing more than certain number of transactions a day…
Limits differ for each bank
However u dont need to worry, they just trying to convert u, Usually bank dont take any action apart from warning

LMAO what? They are saying it increases limit if you do UPI transaction? And more importantly you need to have current a/c to do that?

I am literally laughing my arse off.

If you do 10 recharge of 10rs via upi and your savings accounts it automatically alerts the RBI headquarters and you are added to “high risk” thug life customer list.

They monitor your actions closely for some time and seek assistance from investigating agencies.
If you cross some limits they will charge you and pick you up under UBI act.

Exercise caution.

Savings account are not for High transactions !! They called you because you are very unique high transaction user in your city, Also they ask you for current account because current account are for business man and they can do high transaction without any problem !!

all savings accounts have fixed limits for the maximum number of free transactions in a financial year. the limit differs from bank to bank and the exact type of savings account. beyond the free number of transactions, charges a re levied for each extra transaction. for details, refer the small prints of the “detailed T&C/fees and charges” of your account.

yeah but bank cant force anyone to open current account. Maybe few bank can ask you to do so to get targeted quota.
