Govt plans ATMs for small notes

Govt plans ATMs for small notes

The Indian government is thinking of new ways to make small money notes like ₹10, ₹20, and ₹50 more available.

They are testing special ATMs in Mumbai that can give out these small notes and coins.

These machines will be placed in busy places like markets and hospitals.

The idea is to help people who need small change for daily transactions, especially in places where digital payments are not common.

The government is also asking the central bank to print more of these small notes.

Some experts say that just having machines is not enough; they also need to make sure there are enough small notes available.

The goal is to make life easier for people who rely on cash, like daily wage workers and small traders.
