SBI OTP Based ATM Cash Withdrawal

By Chandrakant Mishra | Published On December 31, 2019

The SBI has made ATM withdrawal more secure. Now, in certain situations, you have to enter the OTP to withdraw money from SBI ATM. This requirement of OTP would protect customers from Phishing and cloning. You may have heard that fraudsters clone your debit card and steal ATM PIN to withdraw money from your account. But now it would not be possible because of the OTP requirement. As OTP would come to your mobile phone.

What is the new Rule of SBI ATM Cash Withdrawal?

SBI is introducing the One Time Password (OTP) based ATM cash withdrawal . OTP is a system generated numeric character which keeps our transaction safe as it is sent to our mobile.

This new amendment is applicable since 1st January 2020 for the ATM withdrawal. The OTP would be required in following situation.

SBI IMPS, NEFT and RTGS Charges

1. Withdrawal Amount is More than ₹10,000

The OTP is required for ATM withdrawal when you want to withdraw more than ₹10,000. Hence if you withdraw up to ₹10,000 there is no requirement to enter OTP.

2. During Night and Morning

The SBI ATM machine would ask OTP only for the limited hours. The OTP system is active for 12 hours starting from 8 pm to 8 am. Thus this security layer is for the night and morning. This is the time when frauds take place. However, it may be for 24 hours in future.

3. Only For the SBI Debit Cards

This new rule is launched by the SBI. None of the other Government Banks or Private Banks launched this facility. So it is for the SBI customers only. Thus you must register or update your mobile number with your account if it is not done so.

4. Only through SBI ATM Machine

The OTP system only when you transact at SBI ATM machines. So as an SBI customer if you withdraw from non-SBI ATM, this facility will not be available for you.

Moreover, if you have an account with non SBI bank and you use SBI ATM, this is not for you as well.

5. Not Through the Branch

As this facility is for the ATM cash withdrawals. There is no requirement on withdrawals through the branch.

Hence you can see how your bank is trying to protect you and your valuable money.
