According to the company, all necessary precautions in terms of maintaining social distancing while queuing for the ATM and sanitisation are taken to ensure the safety of staff and customers at the mobile ATMs.
The Indian Banks' Association also has recently come up with strict measures for sanitisation of ATMs as the lockdown restrictions have been eased starting May 4.
ATMs come under essential services as they cater to the common man's need for cash.
