Getty ImagesThere have been multiple news reports that things are not going well for RBL Bank. So, if you have an account with RBL bank and wish to withdraw your money here’s how you can do it quickly via net banking if your mobile number is registered in the account. This can be done even if you have not activated your net banking or added beneficiary accounts (accounts to which you want to transfer money) earlier. Read on to find out how.
Why things do not appear to be going well for RBL Bank? One, RBL Bank’s MD & CEO Vishawvir Ahuja has stepped down from his position with immediate effect; Two, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has appointed its Chief General Manager Yogesh K Dayal as an additional director on the board of RBL Bank for a period of two years with effect from December 24, 2021; Three, The All India Bank Employees’ Association (AIBEA) has written a letter about the bank to the Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. In its letter, the association has urged the government to protect the interests of depositors of RBL Bank and consider merging the bank with a state-owned bank. “We are worried and concerned about the developments that are taking place in the affairs of RBL Bank Ltd., the Kolhapur based private Bank,” the AIBEA is reported to have said in the letter to the Finance Minister.
Now, these things may remind RBL Bank account holders of what happened with YES Bank account holders and what is happening with PMC Bank account holders and depositors. However, RBL Bank in its press conference yesterday, said that the bank’s fundamentals were intact with scope for tremendous improvement. Further, the bank’s newly appointed MD and CEO Rajeev Ahuja said that the bank does not anticipate major capital needs in the short term, countering fears of problems in management.
However, as an RBL Bank account holder if you are apprehensive and want to take money out from your RBL Bank account, then here is what you can do. Normally, after adding a beneficiary account via net banking one can only transfer upto Rs 25,000 within the first 12 hours. However, this problem can also be overcome. Here’s how.
Withdrawing via Net banking
If you immediately want to take the money out of your RBL Bank account, then you can use Net banking facility of the bank to transfer money to account(s) held by you with other bank(s). However, your mobile number must be registered with your RBL account in order to do so. The transfer can be done via IMPS (Maximum up to Rs 2 lakh) or NEFT/ RTGS (for maximum up to Rs 10 lakh). The facility may be chargeable, however, the presumption here is that your account in the other bank is already added as a ‘Beneficiary’ in RBL Net banking portal.
If you add the beneficiary account (the account in the other bank) for the first time, then there is a cooling period of 12 hours. If the beneficiary is added for the first time, you can only transfer maximum up to Rs 25,000 during the cooling period. In such a scenario, you can add several of your accounts in other banks as beneficiary accounts and transfer upto Rs 25,000 to each account. This way you can withdraw/transfer out much more than just Rs 25,000 immediately without waiting for 12 hour cooling period to end. If you do not have other bank accounts, you can use bank accounts of your parents, spouse, kids, siblings or anyone whom you can trust to transfer the money back to you later.

However, if you visit a non-home branch, then the bank may levy charges and also put a cap on the maximum money that you can withdraw.
Using Cash drop facility of bank: Check with the bank if this facility is available but keep in mind that it is likely to be chargeable and be subject to a maximum limit.
Transferring money from RBL Bank account to another bank account via cheque: This method can take 2-3 days for the clearing of cheque.
