Can I withdraw ₹50,000 from ATM in one go? Only if your card's daily limit is ₹50,000 or above. Additionally, physical ATM notes are typically dispensed in ₹100, ₹200, ₹500, ₹2,000 denominations. Most ATMs have cassette limits — individual transactions may be capped at ₹10,000–₹20,000 per transaction (multiple transactions in a day are allowed up to daily limit).

What happens if ATM cash runs out mid-transaction? Transaction fails. No debit unless the amount was dispensed (some machines partially dispense). Use another ATM. Disputed transactions are resolved within 7 working days by RBI rule.
