Monitoring of availability of cash in ATMs- (Reserve Bank of India) (10 Aug 2021)
MANU/RDCM/0008/2021
Banking
1. The Reserve Bank of India has a mandate to issue banknotes and the banks are fulfilling this mandate by dispensing banknotes to the public through their wide network of branches and ATMs. In this connection, a review of downtime of ATMs due to cash-outs was undertaken and it was observed that ATM operations affected by cash-outs lead to non-availability of cash and cause avoidable inconvenience to the members of the public.
2. It has, therefore, been decided that the banks/ White Label ATM Operators (WLAOs) shall strengthen their systems/ mechanisms to monitor availability of cash in ATMs and ensure timely replenishment to avoid cash-outs. Any non-compliance in this regard shall be viewed seriously and shall attract monetary penalty as stipulated in the "Scheme of Penalty for non-replenishment of ATMs" in the Annex. The Scheme shall be effective from October 01, 2021.
