Now, in view of the popularity and acceptability of UPI, it has been proposed to provide the facility of depositing cash without card.
Freedom from carrying cash
According to experts, this is also a matter of relief for those customers who reach the cash deposit machine with cash. Usually customers take cash and deposit it in someone else’s bank account through a cash deposit machine. Experts estimate that since this process is done through UPI, you will not need to carry cash. This means that a scanner will come on your cash deposit machine and after necessary verification, you will be able to scan and deposit the money.
Solution to note problem
It is often seen that even valid notes are not accepted in cash deposit machines. In such a situation, choosing the right note is a big challenge. With the introduction of UPI facility, this problem of customers will also be solved.
