Let's take you through the process of ATM business franchise and estimate the modus operandi to earn a handsome monthly income.


ATMs that you notice of banks --SBI ATM, ICICI ATM, HDFC ATM, PNB ATM, UBI  ATM to name a few-- might give you an impression that they are being installed by the banks. However that is not the case. Banks that have the ATMs installed are actually the ones hired as contractors by these banks, and they then complete the installation of the ATMs at various locations.


The majority of banks have contracts with Tata Indicash, Muthoot ATM, and India One ATM to install ATMs in India. So, you must submit an application to these businesses via their official websites if you want to obtain an ATM franchise from SBI or any other bank. Be cautious and only submit an application through the company's official website because many frauds also take place by misleading consumers under the guise of an ATM franchise.

To set up an ATM cabin, you should have an area that is between 50 and 80 square feet. It should be at least 100 metres away from other ATMs, and it should be placed where people can see it readily. Power should be available continuously, and a least 1kW electricity connection is also required. The cabin should be a permanent building with concrete roofing and masonry walls. You will need to obtain a no-objection certificate from the society or authorities if you live in a society in order to install V-SAT.
