The details in brief are us under - GREEN CHANNEL COUNTER: -
1) The customer need not fill up any pay-in slips or draw cheques for depositing or withdrawing money from their accounts.
2) Processing time is reduced, as duplication in writing/feeding account details and transaction details by the customer as well as the person behind the counter is avoided by simply capturing these details by swiping the SBI Shopping cum ATM card (State Bank Shopping Card) on a device available at the Single Window Operator's (SWO) counter.
3) At the Green Channel Counter, there is a Point of Sale Machine (POS), on which the customer swipes his card. He is then asked by the machine to select the type of transaction, viz. (0) Cash Deposit, (1) Cash Withdrawal and (2) Funds Transfer.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who will be the primary beneficiaries?
SBI is aiming to simplify transactions for the Senior Citizens. This is because the majority of the Pension accounts are with SBI.
Apart from pensioners, this new scheme will aid in attracting new customers too.
This will also encourage customers to draw more and more money through this mode, as they have the choice of denominations too.
The major drawback in ATM withdrawals is that the Denominations was controlled by the ATM, which was affecting the growth of ATM transactions.
