Amid the second wave of coronavirus pandemic, India's largest bank State Bank of India (SBI) has increased the ceiling for cash withdrawal by customers at non-home branches.
A 'Home' branch means where customers' accounts are maintained. And the banking facilities available to customers at branches other than the home branch are called the non-home branch.
SBI on its official Twitter handle said "To support our customers in this pandemic, SBI has increased the non-home cash withdrawal limits through cheque and withdrawal form".
