Q18: If a bank fails to reverse a failed ATM transaction within the stipulated T plus 5 days, what is the mandatory compensation amount payable to the customer per day of delay?

A
Rupees 50 per day
B
Rupees 100 per day
C
Rupees 500 per day
D
Rupees 10 per day
✅ Correct Answer: B
The mandatory compensation is Rupees 100 per day.
As per the RBI guidelines for authorized Payment Systems, if the bank fails to re-credit the customer's account within T plus 5 calendar days after a failed ATM transaction, it must pay the customer a compensation of Rupees 100 for every day of delay beyond the T plus 5 timeline.
This compensation must be credited to the customer's account automatically (suo moto) without the customer having to claim it.
