RBI Orders to ATM Cash to Include ₹100 and ₹200 Notes: RBI Directive


<p><strong>Reserve Bank of India:</strong> The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) regularly issues new instructions regarding Indian currency. In line with this, the RBI has provided a new update concerning Rs100 and Rs200 notes. The central bank has instructed banks to ensure the dispensing of Rs100 and Rs200 notes from ATMs to increase their availability to the public. Banks and White Label ATM Operators (WLAOs) will have to implement this instruction in a phased manner.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rs100 and Rs200 Notes to be Dispensed from ATMs</h2>



<p>The RBI issued a circular stating that this decision was taken as an effort to ensure better access to frequently used currency denominations by the public. All banks and White Label ATM operators must ensure that their ATMs regularly dispense ₹100 and ₹200 banknotes.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">RBI Issues Deadline</h2>



<p>According to the circular, by 30 September 2025, at least 75 percent of all ATMs should dispense Rs100 or Rs200 notes from at least one cassette. By 31 March 2026, this should increase to 90 percent of all ATMs.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ATM Fee Rules to Change from 1 May</h2>



<p>It should be noted that the rules for ATM transaction fees are going to change from 1 May 2025. According to the RBI, from May 1st, customers will be able to make a certain number of free ATM transactions every month. Under this, three transactions will be free in metropolitan areas and five in non-metropolitan areas. These transactions include both financial and non-financial activities. From the first of May, there will be changes in the free transaction limit at ATMs across the country, charges for additional transactions, and interchange fees.</p>

<p><strong>Shikhar Dhawan slams Shahid Afridi on Pahalgam Terror Attack:</strong> A terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, on 22 April resulted in the death of 26 tourists, escalating tensions between India and Pakistan. Following PM Modi&#8217;s warning of action against those responsible, Pakistan reacted angrily. Not only Pakistani leaders but also cricketers have targeted India. Recently, former cricketer Shahid Afridi made a controversial statement demanding proof of Pakistan&#8217;s involvement, leading to criticism from Indian cricketers. Former Indian opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan has now responded sharply to Afridi&#8217;s comments.</p>



<p>Shahid Afridi was embroiled in controversy during a Pakistani TV show where he attributed the Pahalgam attack to Indian security failures. He criticised media coverage and demanded evidence of Pakistan&#8217;s involvement, alleging that India has a history of blaming Pakistan for such attacks.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Accusations against the Army</h2>



<p>Speaking on Sama TV, he stated that even if a firecracker explodes in India, they blame Pakistan. &#8220;You have 800,000 troops in Kashmir, and yet this happened. It means you are useless, incapable of providing security to the people,&#8221; he said. Shikhar Dhawan has responded strongly to this controversial statement.</p>

<p><strong>Pahalgam Attack:</strong> Following the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, tensions between India and Pakistan continue. Meanwhile, Pakistan&#8217;s Defence Minister, Khawaja Muhammad Asif, has made a significant claim. Minister Asif stated that Pakistan believes India could attack at any time, and therefore, they are fully preparing their army.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">‘Army Strengthened’</h2>



<p>In an interview with Reuters, Pakistan&#8217;s Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif said that they have strengthened their army, which has become necessary now. Certain strategic decisions needed to be made, and therefore, those decisions have been taken.</p>



<p>The Pakistani Defence Minister stated that India&#8217;s rhetoric is escalating. The Pakistani army has indicated a possibility of an Indian attack. He did not elaborate on the intelligence information or event that led to this assessment.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">‘Pakistan Fully Alert’</h2>



<p>During this time, Pakistan&#8217;s Defence Minister Asif also mentioned the use of nuclear weapons. He stated that Pakistan would only use its nuclear weapons if its existence is threatened. Pakistan is now fully alert. On the other hand, India&#8217;s Prime Minister Narendra Modi has spoken of &#8220;reducing terrorist bases to dust&#8221;.</p>



<p>However, earlier, Pakistan&#8217;s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif had demanded the formation of an international investigation team from Russia, China, and Western countries to investigate the Pahalgam terrorist attack. He said in an interview that this investigation would confirm the veracity of India&#8217;s allegations regarding Pakistan&#8217;s involvement in the attack. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has also supported this international investigation.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">26 Killed in Pahalgam Attack</h2>



<p>Twenty-six people died in the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. This has caused widespread outrage across the country. Following the Pahalgam attack, India has taken strong action against Pakistan. Meanwhile, Jammu and Kashmir Police have released sketches of three suspected terrorists, and the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has taken over the investigation. Security forces have intensified their operations against the terrorists.</p>

<p><strong>Ground Zero Box Office Collection Day 4:</strong> The box office success of <em>Kesari 2</em> has presented stiff competition to <em>Jaat</em> and <em>Ground Zero</em>. <em>Kesari 2&#8217;s</em> momentum increased over the weekend, overshadowing both <em>Ground Zero</em> and <em>Jaat</em>. The dominance of <em>Jaat</em> in theatres is waning, while <em>Ground Zero</em> appears to be underperforming after only four days. <em>Kesari 2</em> not only reigned supreme over the weekend but also performed exceptionally well on weekdays. <em>Jaat</em> has seen a significant drop in its earnings, moving from crores to lakhs in its 19th day. <em>Ground Zero</em> also registered its lowest collection yet on its fourth day. Let&#8217;s examine the Monday collections of all three films…</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Jaat Box Office Collection Day 19 </h2>



<p>While <em>Jaat</em>, starring Sunny Deol and Randeep Hooda, received positive reviews for its acting, its box office earnings have been steadily declining. The film&#8217;s 19th-day collection was extremely poor. While the release of <em>Kesari 2</em> was anticipated to impact its earnings, the effect wasn&#8217;t immediate. However, a week later, <em>Kesari 2&#8217;s</em> success significantly impacted <em>Jaat&#8217;s</em> performance. On Monday, 28 April, its 19th day of release, <em>Jaat</em> collected a mere Rs65 lakhs. The film&#8217;s total earnings now stand at Rs85.65 crores. Made on a budget of Rs100 crores, the film is struggling to recoup its investment.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Kesari 2 Box Office Collection Day 11</h2>



<p><em>Kesari 2</em>, though gradually, has achieved significant success. It has managed to surpass the popularity of Sunny Deol&#8217;s <em>Jaat</em>, establishing itself as a box office force. On its 11th day of release, April 28th, <em>Kesari 2</em> collected a substantial Rs3 crores. The film&#8217;s total collection now stands at Rs68.40 crores.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ground Zero Box Office Collection Day 4 </h2>



<p>Regarding Imran Hashmi&#8217;s <em>Ground Zero</em>, released after the Pehalgam terror attack, expectations were high that it would evoke strong patriotic sentiments. However, this didn&#8217;t materialise. <em>Ground Zero</em> has been significantly outperformed by <em>Kesari 2</em>. On Monday, April 28th, its fourth day of release, <em>Ground Zero</em> collected Rs70 lakhs. The film&#8217;s total earnings now stand at Rs5.90 crores.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Monday&#8217;s Box Office King?</h2>



<p>Sunny Deol&#8217;s <em>Jaat</em> has been dethroned from the box office top spot by Akshay Kumar&#8217;s <em>Kesari 2</em>. <em>Kesari 2</em> has significantly outperformed both <em>Ground Zero</em> and <em>Jaat</em>, leaving them far behind.</p>

<p><strong>Policeman Shot:</strong> A shocking incident of a life-threatening attack on a policeman has come to light in another district of Madhya Pradesh, even before the government could issue strict orders regarding the brutal assault on a police officer in Bhopal, the state capital. This incident raises serious questions about the safety of police personnel, let alone ordinary citizens, in the state. Surprisingly, this attack took place within a police station itself.</p>



<p>In Satna, Madhya Pradesh, at approximately 12:30 AM, a young man shot Head Constable Prince Garg while he was on duty at Jaithwara police station. The attack occurred while the officer was having dinner. The assailant fled the scene after the shooting, causing chaos within the station. This brazen attack, unprecedented in its audacity, saw a criminal enter the police station and attack an officer.</p>



<p>Head Constable Garg was rushed to the district hospital and later referred to a medical college in critical condition.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Search for the Accused Begins</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1200" height="800" src="https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/police2.png?resize=1024,683" alt="Policeman Shot" class="wp-image-19561771" srcset="https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/police2.png 1200w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/police2.png?resize=300,200 300w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/police2.png?resize=768,512 768w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/police2.png?resize=1024,683 1024w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/police2.png?resize=135,90 135w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/police2.png?resize=90,60 90w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></figure>



<p>Superintendent of Police Ashutosh Gupta and other police officials rushed to the district hospital upon learning of the incident. Separate police teams have been dispatched to identify and apprehend the accused.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Attack During Dinner</h2>



<p>Head Constable Prince Garg resides in the barracks within the Jaithwara police station. While having dinner after his shift, he heard a noise outside his room. He saw a masked young man. Before he could react, the young man fired a shot from a pistol, hitting him near the shoulder. The assailant then fled.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Policeman&#8217;s Condition Out of Danger</h2>



<p>Fellow officers immediately took Head Constable Garg to the district hospital where a CT scan was performed. The bullet was not found inside his body. As a precaution, he was referred to a medical college. At the time of writing, his condition is reported to be stable.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Accused Identified as Acchu</h2>



<p>Head Constable Garg told police officials that the shooter was masked, but suspects it was Acchu Gautam  from Mehuti. He had previously had a dispute with Acchu Gautam regarding a parked vehicle. While he suspects Acchu Gautam, CSP Mahendra Singh (सीएसपी महेन्द्र सिंह) stated that further action will be taken based on the investigation.</p>


<p>Questions are being raised about the rule of law in Madhya Pradesh (MP). Just two days after a policeman in Bhopal was brutally beaten after his name was discovered, and before any strict action was ordered in that case, an unknown assailant shot a policeman inside a police station in Satna.</p>

<p><strong>Pahalgam Attack:</strong> The recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam has impacted tourism by up to 90 per cent. The cancellation of 3500-4000 bookings due to fear has significantly cooled the summer season&#8217;s business. While approximately 5000 people visit Kashmir annually, many book tickets, hotels, and motels in advance to avoid crowds. However, following the terrorist attack in Pahalgam on 22 April, tourists are avoiding Kashmir and other hill stations.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pahalgam Attack: Majority of Bookings Cancelled</h2>



<p>Tour and travel operators say that tourist movement will resume once the situation normalises. However, they anticipate this will take considerable time. Raman Jadwani, state president of the Travel Federation of India (TAFI), stated that following the incident in Pahalgam, the number of tourists has significantly decreased.</p>



<p>Consequently, many are cancelling bookings made for this season. Notably, over 2.5 million tourists visit Kashmir from April to August. People typically travel to Jammu and Kashmir between April and July, according to their convenience.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Full Refunds Being Processed</h2>



<p>The TAFI state president reported that full refunds are being issued to those who made bookings. This decision was taken by the Jammu &amp; Kashmir Hotel and Restaurant Association, along with tourist corporations, travel agencies, and aviation companies. Refunds are being processed upon submission of relevant booking documents.</p>



<p>Travel operators state that never before have so many tourists been killed simultaneously in a terrorist attack in Kashmir. The impact of this attack is most severely felt in the state, across the country, and in Jammu and Kashmir.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rising Trend of Tourism</h2>



<p>Travel operators mention that during summer holidays, most middle and upper-class individuals travel to Kashmir and other hill stations with family and friends. The trend has increased <span style="margin: 0px;padding: 0px">post-COVID-19</span>. Bookings in 2023 totalled approximately 1600, rising to 3400 in 2024 and nearly 4600 by now in 2025. However, the terrorist attack has completely disrupted the tourism business.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1.3 Million Bookings Cancelled in the Valley</h2>



<p>According to the TAFI state president, citing Babar Chaudhary, president of the Jammu &amp; Kashmir Hotel and Restaurant Association, at least 1.3 million bookings from April to August have been cancelled across the valley. The association represents approximately 240 hotels and restaurants. Typically, over 2.5 million tourists visit Kashmir from April to August.
