ATMs run dry: With cash withdrawals at pre-demonetisation levels, is Modi's digitisation drive facing hurdle?
FirstpostSupply of cash from banks to ATMs has currently dropped to Rs 6 lakh from Rs 12 lakh per booth on an average before the note ban days. Data from National Payments Corporation of India shows that bank ATM withdrawals exceeded Rs 1 lakh crore last month, almost the same level seen in October 2016 but double the amount in December. In fact, digital transactions increased by about 23 times in March to nearly 64 lakh, with total value of Rs 2,425 crore, from last November when demonetisation took effect. “Volume of all digital transactions increased by about 23 times with 63,80,000 digital transactions for a value of Rs 2,425 crore in March 2017, compared to 2,80,000 digital transactions worth Rs 101 crore till November 2016,” NITI Aayog said in a statement last week.
