The Reserve Bank of India has mandated all banks in the country to enable cardless cash withdrawals at all ATMs. Here's how to get cash from an ATM without using a debit or credit card in a step-by-step guide.

In a recent circular, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) required all banks, ATM networks, and White Label ATM Operators or WLAOs in India to provide Interoperable Card-less Cash Withdrawal (ICCW) across their ATMs. Customers will be able to withdraw cash from ATMs without having to use their debit or credit cards.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has also directed the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) to promote UPI integration with all banks and ATM networks, which will aid in transaction authentication. "ICCW may be offered by all banks, ATM networks, and WLAOs at their ATMs. In a circular, the central bank stated that "NPCI has been advised to facilitate Unified Payments Interface (UPI) connectivity with all banks and ATM networks."

The RBI stated in the same circular that while UPI will be utilised for client authorization, settlement will be handled by the National Financial Switch (NFS) or ATM networks. "On-us / off-us ICCW transactions should be conducted without the imposition of any costs other than those prescribed under the circular on Interchange Fee and Customer Charges," the bank noted.
The withdrawal limitations, according to the RBI, will be consistent with the limits for ordinary on-site and off-site ATM withdrawals. "All other directives relating to Harmonisation of Turn Around Time (TAT) and consumer compensation for unsuccessful transactions will remain in effect," it continued.

It's worth mentioning that only ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank currently offer cardless cash withdrawals at their ATMs.

If you have an ICICI Bank account, here's how to get cash without using your ATM card.
