Abstract: A computerized telecommunications device known as an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) allows bank customers to conduct financial transactions in a public setting without the assistance of a bank teller or human clerk. A plastic smartcard with a chip that has a unique card number and some security information, or a plastic ATM card with a magnetic stripe, is inserted to identify the consumer. An ATM was a new development in the Indian banking sector ten years ago. However, ATMs have proliferated throughout cities since private sector banks entered the market. With the active deployment of ATMs, private sector banks such as ICICI Bank, UTI Bank, and HDFC Bank have seen an increase in their clientele. Since then, public sector banks (PSBs) have also increased the number of their ATMs. Public sector banks (PSBs), commercial banks, foreign banks, and cooperative banks have been in fierce competition with one another in the past few years to install ATMs around the nation. CMS Info systems, the top cash logistics company in India, said that the average monthly cash withdrawals from ATMs increased by 5.51% to Rs 1.43 crore in FY24. The survey shows a consistent need for cash nationwide, despite the growing acceptance of digital payment methods like UPI, which has raised concerns about a drop in cash usage. According to the research, the average amount of cash taken out increased by 10.37% in metro areas, 3.94% in semi-urban and rural areas (SURU), and 3.73% in semi-metros. This increase highlights how cash transactions are still used in many regions of the nation. According to the research, ATM cash withdrawals have increased by 37.49% in urban areas and by 12.50% in SURU, indicating that different regions have varied cash usage habits.
