In view of reports of Jan Dhan accounts being used to hoard unaccounted money, the Reserve Bank of India has curtailed the withdrawal limit from such accounts to Rs10,000 per month.

"Fully KYC compliant account holders may be allowed to withdraw Rs10,000 from their account, in a month," RBI said on Wednesday. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions

"The branch managers may allow further withdrawals beyond Rs10,000 within the current applicable limits only after ascertaining the genuineness of such withdrawals and duly documenting the same on bank's record," it said. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions

For non-KYC compliant accounts, the withdrawal limit has been fixed at Rs5,000 per month from the amount deposited after November 9, with an overall ceiling of Rs10,000.
