Mumbai, Feb 8 : The limits on savings bank cash withdrawals post-demonetisation are to  be withdrawn in two stages, the Reserve Bank of India announced on Wednesday, with the limit slated to go up to Rs,50,000 per account from February 20 and to cease from  March 13.

 
 The announcement was made by RBI Deputy Governor R. Gandhi following the fiscal's last  monetary policy review announcement by the central bank at which it kept its key interest  rate unchanged at 6.25 per cent, saying it awaited data on the full impact of the government's demonetisation drive three months ago. 
 
 On January 30, the RBI had ended all curbs on withdrawals from Current Accounts, Cash  Credit Accounts and Overdraft Accounts.
 
 The limits were placed following the November 8 demonetisation of Rs 1,000 and Rs 500  notes. The upper limit at ATMs was just Rs 2,500 initially and was later raised to Rs  4,500.
 
 In January, the RBI had hiked the daily ATM withdrawal limit to Rs  10,000 and doubled the weekly Current Account withdrawal limit to Rs 1 lakh.
 
 The upper limit for weekly withdrawal from bank accounts had been raised to Rs 24,000 from  Rs 20,000 in November.
 
 While lifting of ATM withdrawal limits from March 13 will represent coming full circle for  these machines in respect of demonetisation, it is to be seen whether the amount of cash  supplied by RBI will be able to satisfy the demand of citizens in future.
