Summary:
“Only Rs 2,000 notes have been coming out of the machine since Sunday,” said the guard there.In fact, with only Rs 2,000 notes being available at many ATMs, customers waiting in queues said this was similar to what had happened after demonetisation; even then, initially only the new Rs 2,000 notes came out of ATMs, putting all in much trouble. There are either Rs 2,000 notes in some ATMs or no money at all. We hope the crisis will be mitigated before it gets acute,” said Pratap Mukherjee, who was disappointed on finding the SBI ATM at Calcutta University branch shut. SBI and HDFC Bank officials said around 85% ATMs in Kolkata dispensed cash on Wednesday noon. Even on the second day of the shortage, Kolkata remained among the top cities when it came to cash dispensation..
