Free ATM transactions from other bank ATMs are down to 3 per month, from 5 per month earlier. However individual banks may if they want keep it at 5 free transactions per month. Any transaction above 3 in a month would attract a levy of Rs.20/- plus service tax. This is contained in a RBI circular dated 14th August, 2014 which can be found here
But this limit of 3 free transactions per month will apply only in the 6 metro cities of Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad. In all other cities and towns, the limit of 5 free ATM transactions still apply.
Reduction will not apply to small/ no frills/ basic savings account which continues to get free services as before.
Own bank ATM transactions will continue to be free for five transactions per month.
In order to beat this levy, makes sense to use own bank ATM transactions for upto 5 times a month and other bank ATMs for upto 3 times in a month. I am sure no body would withdraw more than 8 times a month!!
