The Reserve Bank of India has said all banks, ATM networks and white label ATM operators may provide the option of interoperable cardless cash withdrawal at their ATMs.
“National Payments Corporation of India has been advised to facilitate Unified Payments Interface (UPI) integration with all banks and ATM networks,” the RBI said on Thursday.
While UPI would be used for customer authorisation in such transactions, settlement would be through the National Financial Switch (NFS) or ATM networks.
The on-us / off-us interoperable cardless cash withdrawal transactions will be processed without levy of any charges other than those prescribed under the circular on interchange fee and customer fee.
Withdrawal limits
The withdrawal limits for such transactions will be in line with that for regular ATM withdrawals.
