A month has passed since demonetisation was announced by the government but the queues outside the banks and ATMs havn't shortened, neither has the suffering lessened.

The government had claimed that the situation would improve within few weeks but the situation on the ground shows that a common man is still bearing the brunt of demonetisation.

India Today visited few banks in Hindmata area of Parel to know the ground situation post demonetisation. We visited ICICI bank where people were standing in queues to withdraw cash. The people waiting said the bank's ATM was closed since the last 4 days. "I am standing in queue since 8 am in the monring. The bank will open at 9:30 am but they only give us Rs 8000 which is less than the limit set by the RBI," said one of the lady in queue.

Next to the ICICI bank lies IDBI bank's ATM that was also not working. People were withdrawing money from the bank with the help of cheques. "This is the third time I am standing in a queue in this week. I don't mind to stand in queue if it is ultimately going to help my country," said Prashant, who was standing in queue since 8:30 am.

Then we moved to Axix bank in the same vicinity where the ATM was working but only dispensing only Rs 2000 notes. However, the bank was giving lower denomination notes on cash withdrawal via cheques.

Meanwhile, a delegation led by Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu met the RBI Governor to discuss demonetisation the digitisation of economy.
