How can one transact at an ATM?

For transacting at an ATM, the customer needs to authenticate his identity by inserting / swiping their card in the required ATM slot and entering their Personal Identification Number (PIN). Following successful authentication, they will be presented with the transaction menu to carry out their required transaction.

What is a Personal Identification Number (PIN)?

PIN is the numeric password for use at the ATM. The PIN is separately mailed / handed over to the customer by the bank while issuing the card. This PIN has to be reset to a new PIN by the customer. Customers are advised to change the PIN on the first use to ensure security. The PIN number should not be written on the card, card holder etc. as in such cases the card can be misused if card is lost / stolen.

Yes, banks set limit for cash withdrawal by customers. The cash withdrawal limit for use at the ATM of the issuing bank is set by the bank during the issuance of the card.

Do banks levy any service charge for use of other bank ATMs?

But banks can restrict the number of such free transactions to a maximum of five per month. For transactions beyond this minimum number of transaction, banks charge maximum of ₹20 per transactions.
