Some of these stores are Roopam, Benzer, Amarsons, Kalaniketan, Premsons, Asiatic, Libaz, Seasons, Roopmilan, Metro, Catwalk, and Mochi. “These stores will use cash collected from their sales for the withdrawals.

“The bank has deployed PoS machines at stores to help customers withdraw cash using their debit cards,” said Parag Rao, head – card payment products, merchant acquiring services, and marketing, HDFC Bank. “This initiative will help the masses easily withdraw cash and reduce their inconvenience,” he said.
