What is MAB and how is it calculated?
MAB or Monthly Average Balance is the average of day end balances in the account for all the days in a month. Given below is an example of how MAB is calculated:
A sample bank statement of March 2013:
Date | Transactions | Debit Amount | Credit Amount | Balance at the end of day |
---|---|---|---|---|
1-Mar-2013 | A | - | 10,00,000 | 10,00,000 |
10-Mar- 2013 | B | 1,00,000 | - | 9,00,000 |
20- Mar-2013 | C | 2,00,000 | 3,00,000 | 10,00,000 |
31-Mar-2013 | D | 5,00,000 | - | 5,00,000 |
MAB | 7,74,193 |
MAB Calculation:
Total Balance in March 2013
= (10,00,000 * 9 days) + (9,00,000 * 10 days) + (10,00,000 * 11 days) + (5,00,000 * 1 day)
= 24,000,000 (2.4 Cr)
Total No. of days in the month = 31
Monthly Average Balance (MAB) of March 2013
= 24,000,000/ 31
= Rs. 7,74,193
What if I maintain an MAB higher than Rs. 25,000 in a month?
If the customer maintains an MAB higher than Rs. 25,000, the customer will get free limits as a multiple of the balance maintained or Rs. 1.2 Crore, whichever is lower. Thus, a higher balance will provide for higher free limit as given in the features. Given below is a sample of how the free limits work:
MAB Maintained (Rs) | Cash deposit in the month anywhere (Rs) | Cash deposit free upto Rs (12 * MAB) | Cash deposit not free (and chargeable) Rs |
---|---|---|---|
50,000 | 10 Lacs | 6 Lacs | 4 Lacs |
50,000 | 5 Lacs | 6 Lacs | 0 |
10 Lacs | 1 Cr | 1.2 Cr | 0 |
10 Lacs | 1.5 Cr | 1.2 Cr | 30 Lacs |
30 Lacs | 2 Cr | 1.2 Cr | 80 Lacs |
What if I do not maintain the required MAB of Rs. 25,000?
Scenario 1: MAB for the month is less than Rs. 20,000
Result: Customer will be charged a non maintenance charge of Rs. 1,000 for that month and will not gain any of the above mentioned free limits
Scenario 2: MAB for the month is more than Rs. 20,000 but less than Rs. 25,000
Result: Customer will be charged a non maintenance charge of Rs. 1,000 for that month. But, the customer will be eligible for all the free limits as given in features section.
