I dont see anything similar to what you said.

The main question is when you have funds available, just put it in regardless of date as long as its a calender month deposit (any date will do) and you will get the max rate. Since you deposit RM992, just top up before end of the month as long as total deposit more than 1k. However must make sure the Atm deduction is direct and does not reflect in the account that is you should see your account as deposit RM998 without any withdrawal.

I mentioned before that deposit into SS account need not to be on the 1st day of the month to enjoy max 2.9% interest. As long as you deposit within the month, the money in the SS will be entited to 2.9% interest rate.
Even though interest is calculated daily, the impact is not relatively high for the additional 1k that deposited.

1000 x 0.029 / 365 = interest earned daily.

For those opening up saving combo earlier or bonus saver,to enjoy 2.9% interest, they have to deposit 1k each month in month 2 and 3 only.
For those just purely open SS account, they need to deposit 1k any day in the month to enjoy 2.9%. And of course no single withdrawal. I remember earlier deposit RM1k is 3% and RM50 is 2.85%. Now 1k is 2.9% but not sure about now if deposit RM50, what will be the rate. Has to check bank website.

Any withdrawal will drop interest to lowest level. In your case rm8 is withdrawn, following bank rule will not enjoy 2.9% rate.
You better check with the bank whether the deduction by bank is considered as withdrawal. My guess is it is deem as witjdrawal because you probably has signed agreement to deduct from SS
