ICICI BankICICI Bank ATM & Cash Services

ICICI customers who want the current ATM free-count and post-free pricing while keeping ATM, cardless withdrawal and branch/CRM cash-service rules attached to the right account schedule.

Cost / pricing
ICICI currently gives Savings-account holders 5 free financial transactions at ICICI ATMs and all non-financial ICICI ATM transactions free. At non-ICICI ATMs, up to 3 transactions in six metros or 5 elsewhere are free, with a maximum 5 free monthly; thereafter ₹23 per financial and ₹8.50 per non-financial transaction, plus applicable GST. Cash transaction charges vary by Savings-account variant/opening-date schedule.

Axis BankAxis Bank ATM & Cash Services

Axis customers comparing ATM and cash costs who are willing to match the rule to their exact account scheme, because Axis free counts and BNA/branch cash economics vary materially across products.

Cost / pricing
Axis publishes materially different ATM/cash tariffs by account scheme. For example, the live Sahaj Savings MID lists 5 free Axis Bank financial transactions with unlimited Axis non-financial transactions, 3 free non-Axis transactions in metros/5 elsewhere and post-threshold fees after the account's monthly ATM count; the Infinity Savings terms instead list unlimited Axis ATM transactions and 10 free non-Axis transactions. No universal Axis allowance is inferred.

Decision checkpoints

Answer the questions that can actually change the choice.

Each checkpoint reproduces the recorded product fields instead of assigning a winner. Read the condition, scope and missing-data state before treating a difference as useful to you.

01Which ATM allowance applies to your use?Compare own-bank and other-bank terms in the correct account or card context.

ICICI Bank ATM & Cash Services

Own-bank ATM
First 5 financial transactions per month at ICICI ATMs are free for Savings-account holders; all non-financial ICICI ATM transactions are free under the current ATM FAQ.
Other-bank ATM
First 3 financial/non-financial transactions in Mumbai, New Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru and Hyderabad, or first 5 elsewhere, are free subject to a maximum 5 free transactions per month; thereafter ₹23 financial and ₹8.50 non-financial, plus GST.

Axis Bank ATM & Cash Services

Own-bank ATM
Sahaj Savings currently states first 5 Axis financial transactions free plus unlimited non-financial; Infinity Savings states unlimited Axis ATM financial/non-financial transactions. Other Axis products can differ.
Other-bank ATM
Sahaj states 3 free non-Axis financial/non-financial transactions in metro locations and 5 elsewhere. Infinity states first 10 non-Axis transactions monthly. Product-specific post-free charges also differ by schedule; the exact account tariff controls.
02Will the withdrawal and deposit rules fit?Check withdrawals and machine deposits as separate transactions.

ICICI Bank ATM & Cash Services

Withdrawal limits
Card withdrawal is constrained by the debit-card/account limit. Cardless cash has conflicting current ICICI disclosures: the general ATM page says ₹20,000/transaction and ₹50,000/day; the dedicated cardless page says ₹20,000/transaction and ₹20,000/day.
Cash deposit machine
ICICI CRMs support cash deposits. Deposit charges and free transaction/value thresholds follow the applicable Savings/current account schedule rather than one CRM-wide free allowance.

Axis Bank ATM & Cash Services

Withdrawal limits
Debit-card limits remain primary. Some Axis schedules add account-level transaction-count controls; Sahaj currently states maximum 30 counted ATM transactions monthly (financial at Axis plus financial/non-financial at other-bank ATMs), followed by stated fees.
Cash deposit machine
Axis BNA/CDM cash deposit pricing is scheme-specific. Sahaj currently lists a ₹50 BNA convenience fee after banking hours/holidays once deposits exceed 2 transactions or ₹5,000 in a month, whichever occurs first; Infinity's listed core cash-deposit fees are nil under its plan terms.
03What charges and failed-ATM handling apply?Check the scope of charges and the recorded failed-transaction treatment.

ICICI Bank ATM & Cash Services

Charge scope
Apply ATM interchange charges independently from branch/CRM cash-handling charges, and match the latter to account opening date, programme and account variant.
Failed ATM treatment
ICICI supports ATM cash-withdrawal complaints through Net Banking, customer care and branches. RBI requires reversal of debit-without-cash ATM failures within T+5 calendar days and ₹100/day compensation for delay beyond T+5.

Axis Bank ATM & Cash Services

Charge scope
Axis is intentionally modeled as scheme-specific. Sahaj, Infinity and current-account examples are evidence anchors, not interchangeable tariffs.
Failed ATM treatment
RBI's controlling rule for account debited but cash not dispensed is proactive reversal within T+5 calendar days and automatic ₹100/day compensation beyond T+5. Customers should complain to the card-issuing bank/ATM support promptly.

ATM / cash service chargesICICI currently gives Savings-account holders 5 free financial transactions at ICICI ATMs and all non-financial ICICI ATM transactions free. At non-ICICI ATMs, up to 3 transactions in six metros or 5 elsewhere are free, with a maximum 5 free monthly; thereafter ₹23 per financial and ₹8.50 per non-financial transaction, plus applicable GST.

No universal Axis allowance is inferred.
Eligible account / cardRequires an eligible ICICI account/debit card for card-based ATM use; CRM, cardless and branch cash services remain governed by the linked account and current service-charge schedule.Requires the applicable Axis account and debit-card relationship. ATM and BNA privileges can change when the account scheme changes, and cash thresholds can depend on account-level balance/relationship terms.
ATM / cash service coverageICICI ATMs/CRMs support cash withdrawal/deposit, mini statements, fund transfer, FD opening, cheque-book request, PIN generation and cardless cash withdrawal. Failed ATM complaints can be lodged through Net Banking, customer care or branch routes.Axis ATMs and cash-deposit/BNA channels provide cash access and account services; digital/card controls can be used to reduce exposure. Product schedules expose own-bank, off-us and branch/BNA cash rules separately.
ATM / cash limitsCard-based ATM withdrawal depends on the issued debit-card/account limit. ICICI's current ATM page lists cardless cash at ₹20,000 per transaction and ₹50,000/day, while the dedicated current cardless-cash page says ₹20,000 both per transaction and per day; v1.42 exposes this source conflict rather than selecting the larger figure.Withdrawal limits depend on the debit card/account. Scheme documents may also impose monthly transaction-count or branch cash thresholds; for example, the Sahaj document states a maximum 30 counted ATM transactions per month before additional fees.
ATM / cash accessEligible ICICI customers under the account/card/service rules. Cardless cash uses iMobile/temporary PIN/SMS-code controls and supported ICICI ATMs.Eligible Axis account/debit-card holders according to the specific account tariff. BNA/cash-deposit convenience and third-party/non-home branch treatment depend on the account scheme.
Account / card / channel relationshipATM and cash charges are account-state dependent. ICICI maintains separate Savings schedules for accounts opened from 1 August 2025, earlier accounts, salary/family and special/basic variants; the generic service layer does not overwrite those schedules.Axis ATM/cash economics are strongly product-coupled: Sahaj, Infinity, salary, premium and current-account relationships can carry different free counts, cash thresholds and fees, so the engine stores representative current scheme evidence without relabeling it as bankwide.

Wrong-fit risks

Keep each product’s cautions beside the product.

A useful comparison shows what can make either option unsuitable instead of averaging those conditions into a score.

ICICI Bank

ICICI Bank ATM & Cash Services

  • ICICI's live ATM page and dedicated cardless-cash page disagree on the daily cardless withdrawal ceiling (₹50,000 versus ₹20,000). The conflict is preserved and the lower figure should be treated as the safer operational assumption until ICICI reconciles the pages.
  • Cash-deposit/branch charges differ by account variant and opening date; a generic ICICI cash article must not override the current schedule that applies to the customer's account.
  • For ATM cash not received, check whether an automatic reversal has already posted and use the bank's complaint route; RBI's T+5 calendar-day standard controls compensation timing.
Axis Bank

Axis Bank ATM & Cash Services

  • Do not quote the Sahaj or Infinity ATM allowance as the universal Axis rule; the two live Axis schedules themselves demonstrate why scheme matching is required.
  • Axis BNA after-hours convenience charges and branch cash free limits are account-scheme terms. A fee shown for Sahaj must not be copied to Infinity or a Current Account.
  • Failed ATM debit-without-cash reversals follow the RBI T+5 calendar-day framework even when an older bank document uses different operational wording.
