List of Frequently Asked Questions

The total investment typically ranges from ₹2 Lakhs to ₹5 Lakhs, depending on the brand (EPS, Hitachi, India1, or Findi). This amount primarily covers the refundable security deposit. There are minimal non-refundable fees for site preparation, making it a low-investment, high-ROI business opportunity.
ATM franchise owners typically earn ₹8–₹12 per cash transaction and ₹2–₹4 per non-cash transaction. A standard site with 100+ daily hits can generate a net monthly income of ₹30,000 to ₹50,000. It is a stable passive income source with earnings directly linked to footfall volume.
You need a commercial space of 40–60 sq. ft. on the ground floor, ideally in a high-visibility area. Technical requirements include a concrete roof for VSAT, a 1KW single-phase power connection, and a dedicated earthing pit. 24/7 accessibility is mandatory.
No. Cash loading is handled entirely by authorized Cash Replenishment Agencies (CRAs) secured by the provider. As a franchisee, you never touch the cash inside the machine. Your role is limited to providing the site and ensuring electricity supply.
The timeline is fast. After document verification (3–4 days), installation and VSAT activation take about 7–10 working days. The complete process—from application to your first transaction—typically takes 2 to 3 weeks.
Standard franchise contracts range from 5 to 9 years. These agreements are legally binding and define the security deposit return policy, revenue sharing model, and maintenance terms. Contracts are renewable based on site performance.
You will need standard KYC documents (Aadhaar, PAN), financial proof (Bank Passbook/Cancelled Cheque), and site documents (Electricity Bill, Rent Agreement, or Ownership Deed). If renting, a Landlord NOC is mandatory.
The 'best' provider depends on your location. India1 and Findi have superior networks in semi-urban/rural areas (RU). Hitachi and EPS dominate urban and commercial centers. We analyze your specific pin code to recommend the brand that offers the highest transaction volume potential for you.
There are zero hidden charges. The ATM provider covers the Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC), VSAT internet, spare parts, and software upgrades. You only pay for the site electricity and rent. It is a transparent business model.
We utilize a 24/7 Centralized Network Operations Center (NOC). If an ATM goes offline, a ticket is auto-generated. Field engineers are dispatched within 4–24 hours to resolve hardware issues, ensuring maximum uptime and preventing revenue loss.
Payouts are automated and transparent. Earnings are calculated based on the previous month's transaction logs and credited directly to your registered bank account between the 7th and 15th of every month.
ATMs require high footfall to be profitable. While commercial locations (markets, bus stands, main roads) are preferred, residential properties are only accepted if they are on the ground floor of a busy street with significant public movement.
