Cash withdrawals from ATM through debit cards were close to Rs 2.5 trillion in March 2020.

After the nationwide lockdown was imposed on March 25, 2020 withdrawals almost halved to around Rs 1.3 trillion. They started to pick up in the later part of 2020, and reached a peak in March 2021, touching Rs 2.84 trillion.
