Instructions from CPC(CBS) on Interoperable ATM in DOP
Dear All,
As you are
aware DOP ATMs are interoperable, however still under observation for a week.
As many ATMs were not online/kept open, patches pushed centrally by switch team
could not be deployed in such ATM sites. Due to this non DOP ATM cards are not
working in those ATM locations.
As per
directorate orders all the DOP ATMs should be functioning and kept open 24X7.
Hence, kindly instruct all the ATM site located SOLs to personally check the
ATM screen by using other bank ATM cards and do some sample transactions. If
the other bank cards are not functional in those ATMs please consolidate such
ATM location details with ATM ID and SOLID for taking up the issue with
respective vendor for early rectification by 02/01/2017 1100 hrs positively.
Thanks
& regards,

Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQs) on Withdrawal of Legal tender Character of the Old High
Denomination Bank Notes
1. Why is this scheme?
The incidence
of fake Indian currency notes in higher denomination has increased. For
ordinary persons, the fake notes look similar to genuine notes, even though no
security feature has been copied. The fake notes are used for antinational and
illegal activities. High denomination notes have been misused by terrorists and
for hoarding black money. India remains a cash based economy hence the
circulation of Fake Indian Currency Notes continues to be a menace. In order to
contain the rising incidence of fake notes and black money, the scheme to
withdraw has been introduced.
2. What is this scheme?
The legal
tender character of the notes in denominations of Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 stands
withdrawn. In consequence thereof
