In order to check misuse of ATM cards by unauthorised people, RBI(Reserve Bank of India) has asked banks to allow only one transaction at ATM machines for one entry of PIN (Personal Identification Number) which acts like a password for ATM transactions).
The transactions that a bank customer can conduct through the ATMs (Automated Teller Machines), by inserting or swiping the card and entering the PIN, include withdrawal of money, deposits, fund transfer, bill payments, checking account details etc.
Previously, customers were allowed to conduct multiple transactions through the ATM by punching in their PIN only once in a single session.
