The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has also encouraged banks to make the ICCW option available for ATMs in order to prevent card fraud such as cloning, skimming, etc. The cardless cash withdrawal option is available at ATMs operated by the State Bank of India (SBI), Punjab National Bank (PNB), HDFC Bank, and others. UPI cash withdrawal is available through any UPI payment service provider app, such as GooglePay, PhonePe, Paytm, and other UPI apps.
