Sometimes customers face a situation where they withdraw money from an ATM, but the cash does not come out while the amount is debited from the bank account. This problem can happen due to network issues, technical errors in the ATM machine, or server problems.
If this happens to you, do not worry. In most cases, banks automatically reverse the amount back to the customer’s account after checking the ATM transaction details.
However, it is always better to report the issue to your bank immediately. Below is a list of customer care helpline numbers of major public sector and private banks in India where you can register a complaint.

2️⃣ Keep the ATM slip or note the ATM location, date, and time.
3️⃣ Call your bank’s customer care number immediately.
4️⃣ Register a complaint and keep the complaint reference number.
