The Reserve Bank of India on Friday said banks can now replenish their automated teller machines (ATMs) with cash by borrowing up to 100 million rupees at one go from the central bank if a banking sector strike or any natural calamity creates a situation where ATMs may run out of cash.

"Depending upon the need for cash to be replenished in the ATMs, a bank may avail of this withdrawal facility more than once during the working hours on a particular day," the central bank said in a notification posted on its website.
