Latest underlying reviewSeptember 10, 2026
HDFC BankHDFC Bank ATM & Cash Services

HDFC customers who need to distinguish the ATM limit on their card/account from monthly free-transaction allowances and from branch/CRM cash-deposit thresholds.

Cost / pricing
HDFC publishes ATM treatment by account variant. Savings/salary-type rows use bank-specific free allowances while several Current Account variants receive unlimited HDFC ATM usage; after the applicable other-bank free allowance, current HDFC material lists ₹23 + taxes for cash withdrawal and ₹8.50 + taxes for non-financial transactions where that savings-account schedule applies. From 1 April 2026, UPI cash withdrawals at ATMs/CRMs count toward the monthly free ATM allowance and attract ₹23 + taxes after the free limit.

Decision checkpoints

Answer the questions that can actually change the choice.

Each checkpoint reproduces the recorded product fields instead of assigning a winner. Read the condition, scope and missing-data state before treating a difference as useful to you.

01Which ATM allowance applies to your use?Compare own-bank and other-bank terms in the correct account or card context.

HDFC Bank ATM & Cash Services

Own-bank ATM
HDFC's ATM table gives account-specific treatment: common Savings/Salary rows use their stated HDFC-bank free allowance, while multiple Current Account variants publish unlimited HDFC ATM transactions. The exact underlying product controls.
Other-bank ATM
For common Savings/Salary treatment, HDFC publishes up to 3 free transactions at ATMs in six metros and 5 at non-metro ATMs; after the applicable free limit, cash withdrawal is ₹23 + taxes and non-financial transaction ₹8.50 + taxes. Some Current Account variants are charged from the first non-HDFC ATM transaction, so the account row must be matched.

ICICI Bank ATM & Cash Services

Own-bank ATM
First 5 financial transactions per month at ICICI ATMs are free for Savings-account holders; all non-financial ICICI ATM transactions are free under the current ATM FAQ.
Other-bank ATM
First 3 financial/non-financial transactions in Mumbai, New Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru and Hyderabad, or first 5 elsewhere, are free subject to a maximum 5 free transactions per month; thereafter ₹23 financial and ₹8.50 non-financial, plus GST.
02Will the withdrawal and deposit rules fit?Check withdrawals and machine deposits as separate transactions.

HDFC Bank ATM & Cash Services

Withdrawal limits
The issued debit card and account security caps both apply. HDFC current-account pages currently cap ATM cash withdrawal at ₹50,000/day and ₹10 lakh/month for the first 6 months, and ₹2 lakh/day and ₹10 lakh/month for older accounts; those figures are current-account-scoped, not a universal Savings limit.
Cash deposit machine
HDFC CDM card-based cash deposit: Savings ₹1 lakh per transaction/₹2 lakh per day; Current ₹1 lakh per transaction/₹6 lakh per day; maximum 200 notes per deposit transaction. Cardless deposits are supported by account number, subject to product limits; cash deposit can be disabled for some products.

ICICI Bank ATM & Cash Services

Withdrawal limits
Card withdrawal is constrained by the debit-card/account limit. Cardless cash has conflicting current ICICI disclosures: the general ATM page says ₹20,000/transaction and ₹50,000/day; the dedicated cardless page says ₹20,000/transaction and ₹20,000/day.
Cash deposit machine
ICICI CRMs support cash deposits. Deposit charges and free transaction/value thresholds follow the applicable Savings/current account schedule rather than one CRM-wide free allowance.
03What charges and failed-ATM handling apply?Check the scope of charges and the recorded failed-transaction treatment.

HDFC Bank ATM & Cash Services

Charge scope
Free counts, ATM pricing and branch/CRM cash thresholds must be read from the specific HDFC account schedule. Machine limits are technical/operational ceilings and do not create a free-cash entitlement.
Failed ATM treatment
HDFC instructs customers to report cash-not-dispensed or deposit-not-received issues to the bank. RBI's controlling failed-ATM standard is proactive reversal within T+5 calendar days and ₹100/day compensation beyond T+5.

ICICI Bank ATM & Cash Services

Charge scope
Apply ATM interchange charges independently from branch/CRM cash-handling charges, and match the latter to account opening date, programme and account variant.
Failed ATM treatment
ICICI supports ATM cash-withdrawal complaints through Net Banking, customer care and branches. RBI requires reversal of debit-without-cash ATM failures within T+5 calendar days and ₹100/day compensation for delay beyond T+5.

Eligible account / cardRequires an HDFC Bank account/debit-card relationship for HDFC-card ATM use. The ATM/cash service does not waive the AMB/AQB or account-specific cash-handling rules of the linked product.Requires an eligible ICICI account/debit card for card-based ATM use; CRM, cardless and branch cash services remain governed by the linked account and current service-charge schedule.
ATM / cash service coverageHDFC ATMs/CRMs provide ATM services, while Cash Deposit Machines support card-based and cardless real-time deposits into HDFC Bank accounts, withdrawals and common service requests.ICICI ATMs/CRMs support cash withdrawal/deposit, mini statements, fund transfer, FD opening, cheque-book request, PIN generation and cardless cash withdrawal.

ATM / cash limitsHDFC CDMs currently list card-based deposits of ₹1 lakh per transaction and ₹2 lakh per day for Savings Accounts, and ₹1 lakh per transaction and ₹6 lakh per day for Current Accounts, with a 200-note maximum per deposit transaction. Separate card/account security limits can be lower than the machine capability.Card-based ATM withdrawal depends on the issued debit-card/account limit. ICICI's current ATM page lists cardless cash at ₹20,000 per transaction and ₹50,000/day, while the dedicated current cardless-cash page says ₹20,000 both per transaction and per day; v1.42 exposes this source conflict rather than selecting the larger figure.
ATM / cash accessEligible HDFC account/card holders for card transactions; cardless CDM deposits require the correct HDFC beneficiary account number. Cash deposit can be disabled for particular products.Eligible ICICI customers under the account/card/service rules. Cardless cash uses iMobile/temporary PIN/SMS-code controls and supported ICICI ATMs.
Account / card / channel relationshipATM/CRM/CDM limits and charges sit on top of the exact HDFC account and debit-card variant.

ICICI maintains separate Savings schedules for accounts opened from 1 August 2025, earlier accounts, salary/family and special/basic variants; the generic service layer does not overwrite those schedules.

Wrong-fit risks

Keep each product’s cautions beside the product.

A useful comparison shows what can make either option unsuitable instead of averaging those conditions into a score.

HDFC Bank

HDFC Bank ATM & Cash Services

  • HDFC does not have one universal ATM allowance across every savings/current/salary product; use the exact account row before quoting a free count or charge.
  • The CDM's technical deposit limit is not the same as the product's free cash-deposit allowance. Since 1 August 2025, branch and CRM deposits are combined when testing account cash-transaction thresholds.
  • Current-account pages publish separate security caps for ATM cash withdrawal based on account age; those caps should not be generalized to all Savings accounts.
ICICI Bank

ICICI Bank ATM & Cash Services

  • ICICI's live ATM page and dedicated cardless-cash page disagree on the daily cardless withdrawal ceiling (₹50,000 versus ₹20,000). The conflict is preserved and the lower figure should be treated as the safer operational assumption until ICICI reconciles the pages.
  • Cash-deposit/branch charges differ by account variant and opening date; a generic ICICI cash article must not override the current schedule that applies to the customer's account.
  • For ATM cash not received, check whether an automatic reversal has already posted and use the bank's complaint route; RBI's T+5 calendar-day standard controls compensation timing.
