The process to be followed to withdraw cash from a Bank of Baroda UPI ATM:
• Select the “UPI Cardless Cash” option on the ATM screen.
• Choose the cash withdrawal amount.
• Scan the QR Code displayed on the ATM screen using an UPI app.
• Select the bank account to be debited, if multiple bank accounts are linked to a single UPI ID
