ATM Refund Timeline If cash was not dispensed but amount debited, SBI usually reverses the amount within 3–5 working days after transaction reconciliation.
Note: Refund timelines follow RBI failed transaction circular guidelines. Always confirm transaction status via official SBI support channels.

RBI "T+5" Compensation Rule: According to RBI circular DPSS.CO.PD No.629/02.01.014/2019-20, banks must credit the failed ATM transaction amount within 5 days of the transaction (T+5 days). If the bank fails to credit the amount within this timeline, they are liable to pay a compensation of ₹100 per day to the customer until the amount is refunded.
