Yes, you can deposit cash into an ATM, provided the machine is a Cash Deposit Machine (CDM) or a cash recycler ATM, which is now widely available in India. This saves time and is accessible outside of bank hours. The deposit process can be completed in one of two ways:
- Using your debit card and PIN: Insert your card and follow the on-screen instructions to select the 'Deposit' option.
- Without a card: Select the 'Cash Deposit Without Card' option and enter the beneficiary's bank account number for the transaction.
The machine counts the cash, displays the amount for your verification, and provides a receipt as proof of the successful deposit.
