The rules for withdrawing cash from ATMs will change from September 18. Know what you have to do to withdraw money now?

Cases of ATM fraud are on the rise during the lockdown. Following this, the country's largest bank - State Bank of India (SBI) has decided to implement 24x7 one time password i.e. OTP based ATM cash withdrawal facility. The facility will be available at SBI ATMs across the country from September 18.

OTP will be required to withdraw money even during the day

Now OTP will be required even during the day to withdraw more than Rs 10,000 from SBI ATM. Until now, OTP was required only for withdrawals of Rs 10,000 or more from 8 pm to 8 am. The bank had implemented the new rule from January 1. Under this, OTP based cash withdrawal will be applied from 8 pm to 8 am on withdrawals of Rs 10,000 or more.

How can money be withdrawn now?

Now from Friday, September 18, if you go to an ATM to withdraw Rs 10,000 or more, you will be sent an OTP from the bank to a registered mobile after entering the card and amount. You will be able to withdraw money from the ATM when you have to enter this OTP with the debit card PIN.

CS Setti, MD (Retail and Digital Banking), SBI, said that SBI is already at the forefront in terms of technical improvements and safety. I hope the 24x7 OTP based cache withdrawal feature strengthens the security level. Implementing this facility throughout the day will help SBI debit cardholders to avoid risks like fraud, card skimming, card cloning.
