Also it would be ' gets ' trapped <| sep |> tried UPN and Distinguished Name , but neither would work ! In the end I gave it to the apprentice to do manually ! <| sep |> I arrived in Delhi the 12 th , and have had my own struggles getting cash . I ' ve been in India since then and it seems to be getting better . In Delhi , I was only able to exchange 3500 INR at IGI , at a similar rate as you . I did manage to find an ATM HDFC at Khan Market about 2 days into my trip , waited 45 minutes and was able to get the 2000 rupee limit . I visited Agra , Jaipur , and Udaipur after Delhi and only found 1 working ATM between the 3 cities In Agra , got lucky that I saw the armored truck pull up . On the 19 th I went to Mumbai and that ' s when my luck started changing . I found about 6 working ATMs there in the touristy area between Gateway of India and the CSTM train station , and most had either no or very short queues . I ' ve found SBI , Canara , UBI , DBS , HDFC , and Syndicate all have taken my American debit card Visa . In Mumbai I also managed to change the last of my USD at the okay rate of 651 , at a somewhat sketchy place that didn ' t even care to see my passport or mind the government 5000 rupee limits . Since then , I ' ve been to Alleppey and Kumily and have found a few working ATMs in both towns with no queues . But , they still run out of cash within a day . The crapshoot with ATMs is also that there ' s a good chance you get and all they have left is a 2000 rupee note , which can be hard to use for anything but a 1900 rupee transaction although I ' ve gotten most tourist sites to take them , especially if its later in the day and they ' re flush with cash . I would hope the situation in Delhi would be improving soon . As I ' ve been travelling , I ' ve definitely had more luck finding ATMs , but I ' m not sure if that ' s just me getting lucky or if the cash situation is improving . Unless there ' s a no money sign posted , I ' ve started checking ATMs with no queues because a lot of them have actually had cash . That definitely wasn ' t the case when I first arrived . Hopefully your luck also changes !
