Another way is to deposit cash at SBI-appointed agents or franchisees who will handle the actual transfer. This requires Aadhaar biometric authentication, so ensure your Aadhaar number is linked to your bank account. Some post offices also provide this service.
Additionally, you can withdraw money from your account through the AEPS (Aadhaar Enabled Payment System) process, which may incur some extra processing charges.
