Latest underlying reviewSeptember 10, 2026
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.

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.

Canara Bank ATM & Cash Recycler Services

Own-bank ATM
Savings customers: 5 free monthly financial/non-financial Canara ATM/Cash Recycler transactions; senior citizens: 8. Beyond the free count, cash withdrawal including ICCW/UPI cash withdrawal is ₹23 + GST and non-financial transaction ₹5 + GST, effective 1 September 2026.
Other-bank ATM
Savings customers: 3 free monthly financial/non-financial transactions at other-bank ATMs/Cash Recyclers in metros and 5 in non-metros; thereafter ₹23 + GST financial and ₹11 + GST non-financial under the 1 September 2026 update.
02Will the withdrawal and deposit rules fit?Check withdrawals and machine deposits as separate transactions.

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.

Canara Bank ATM & Cash Recycler Services

Withdrawal limits
The ATM free count/fee schedule does not set the debit card's daily cash ceiling; the linked card/account limit remains controlling over the amount that can be withdrawn.
Cash deposit machine
Regular cash-handling charges apply to cash remitted through CDMs/kiosks/alternative channels. Canara clubs those deposits with home/non-home branch cash remittances when calculating the free entitlement.
03What charges and failed-ATM handling apply?Check the scope of charges and the recorded failed-transaction treatment.

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.

Canara Bank ATM & Cash Recycler Services

Charge scope
ATM/Cash Recycler transaction fees and cash-handling fees are distinct. Canara explicitly clubs cash deposits across branch/CDM/kiosk channels but excludes ATM/alternate-channel withdrawals from branch cash-withdrawal charges.
Failed ATM treatment
RBI's current failed-ATM framework requires reversal within T+5 calendar days where the account is debited but cash is not dispensed, with ₹100/day compensation beyond T+5.

Eligible account / cardRequires 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.Requires the relevant Canara account/debit-card relationship for card-based ATM access. Branch and cash-deposit handling fees remain linked to the underlying Savings/CA/OD/OCC account tariff.
ATM / cash service coverageAxis 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.Canara ATMs/Cash Recyclers support card cash access and related services. Cash remitted at home/non-home branches, cash-deposit machines, kiosks and alternative cash channels is integrated into the account's cash-handling entitlement rather than treated as unrelated buckets.
ATM / cash limitsWithdrawal 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.Withdrawal amount depends on debit-card/account limits. The September 2026 ATM charge schedule separately controls free transaction counts and post-free charges; those counts are not the card's daily withdrawal ceiling.
ATM / cash accessEligible 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.Eligible Canara account/debit-card customers, with senior-citizen own-bank free-count treatment separately identified. Cash-deposit and branch rules depend on Savings versus CA/OD/OCC status.
Account / card / channel relationshipAxis 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.ATM/Cash Recycler charges and branch/cash-deposit fees are different layers. Canara explicitly clubs cash remittances across home/non-home branches, CDMs, kiosks and alternative channels to determine the free cash-handling entitlement.

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.

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.
Canara Bank

Canara Bank ATM & Cash Recycler Services

  • Canara revised own-bank and other-bank ATM/Cash Recycler charges effective 1 September 2026; older ₹21/other values should not be reused.
  • The Savings cash-handling tariff's free deposit transactions are not additional to CDM/kiosk deposits—Canara clubs the cash channels when calculating entitlement.
  • Branch cash-withdrawal transaction charges explicitly exclude ATM/alternate-channel withdrawals, so the two fee systems must not be added or substituted for each other.
