Your earnings are driven by the "Interchange Fee." As of May 2025, the RBI has approved higher interchange rates to support White Label ATM (WLA) operators. This translates to better margins for franchise owners:
- Cash Withdrawals: Earn between ₹8 - ₹14 per transaction. (Interchange fee hiked to ₹19).
- Non-Financial Transactions: Earn between ₹2 - ₹4 per transaction (Balance checks, Mini-statements). (Interchange fee hiked to ₹7).
2025 Profit Calculation Scenario
With the updated 2025 fee structure, a standard location with moderate footfall sees a significant boost in net profit:
| Metric | 2025 Value |
|---|---|
| Daily Transactions | 100 (Avg: 80 Cash + 20 Non-Cash) |
| Avg. Commission (Cash) | ₹11.00 (Standard Slab) |
| Avg. Commission (Non-Cash) | ₹3.00 |
| Total Monthly Gross | ₹28,200 |
| Operational Expenses | - ₹7,000 (Rent, Electricity, Maintenance) |
| Net Monthly Profit | ₹21,200 |
By selecting a high-footfall area (250+ transactions/day), net monthly profits can scale up to ₹45,000 - ₹90,000. Some partners like Hitachi even offer minimum guarantee models to protect your initial investment.
