Friends, Recently, punjab national Bank has called quotations for converting their ATMs in to talking ATMs. NCR and dybold has quoted a price of RS 45000 per ATM for converting them. In rajasthan, it is pursued quite well and we are hoping to have talking ATMs in PNB soon. if NGOs approach the respective zonal offices of PNB to implement the same, i think it can be done rather easily. I believe their head office has sent the rates to all controlling offices and controlling offices may decide as per their requirement. Various NGOs can push this through since not every controlling office will do it of its own.
