Hyderabad: Every one can see a long queue in front of every ATM across the country after the Demonetisation move. After the move of Demonetisation, ATMs had remained dispensing limited currency notes per day.
In an incident happened on Saturday that a Kotak Mahindra Bank ATM in Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Shamshabad had dispensed new Rs 500 notes instead of Rs 100 notes.
By getting Rs 500 note instead of Rs 100 note, the people cheered. As per the report that in an hour as much as Rs 8 lakhs was withdrawn from the Kotak Mahindra Bank ATM Machine.
