SBI ATM cash withdrawal: New rules apply from today; check out details

State Bank of India's (SBI) customers can now make ATM withdrawals of Rs 10,000 and above after OTP verification throughout the day.

India's biggest lender, starting September 18, is extending its OTP-based cash withdrawal service to 24x7. The extension was announced to give customers a wider window period allowing them to withdraw Rs 10,000 and above throughout the day across all SBI ATMs in the country.

The bank had, in January this year, allowed customers to use the facility from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. To withdraw cash, SBI debit cardholders will now have to enter OTP sent on their registered mobile numbers along with their debit card's PIN number each time, the bank said.
