can i deposit cash at any atm

No, you generally cannot deposit cash at any ATM. Cash deposits are typically handled by specialized Cash Deposit Machines (CDMs) or ADWMs. Most banks restrict cash deposits only to their own CDMs. However, the RBI has introduced the UPI Interoperable Cash Deposit (UPI-ICD) service. This new service allows you to deposit cash into any bank account at compatible ATMs that utilize cash recycler technology. It is advisable to use your bank's locator tool to find a deposit-enabled ATM.
