After going to the ATM, you have to insert your debit card in the machine and wait for it to process. Now you will see an option Please Select Application ID in which you have to select Domestic.
- Sometimes you may not see this option, so if you see it then select it, otherwise you can proceed to the next step. Many people have a question that by selecting domestic here, their card will get disabled for International Transactions, so nothing like this is going to happen. This is just the information from where you are activating your debit card and you have to select Domestic only in it.

Now you have to select your language in which you want to continue the process.
In the next step, it will ask you to select your Transaction. Here you have to choose PIN Generation.

In the next step you have to enter your 10 digit mobile number registered with the bank and tap on Press if correct. Keep in mind that you should not put any prefix +91 or 0 in front of your mobile number here.
After this, the ATM machine takes some time and provides you a receipt which you have to take and also take out your debit card from the machine.
Now, on this receipt, you will receive a message that informs us that we have received your request, and we will send you an OTP via SMS to your number as soon as possible. You must generate your debit card PIN using this OTP within 24 hours.
- Now see, it is not mentioned in this receipt that after how much time you will receive this message, but within 24 hours after receiving the message, you have to generate a PIN for your debit card by entering this OTP. But in most of the cases, you receive this SMS within 5 to 10 minutes. Therefore you can stay near the ATM machine for some time and wait for the SMS.

After receiving the OTP through SMS, you have to go to the ATM machine again and insert your card in it.
- This is the OTP PIN of SBI which you receive by SMS, it is in Alphabet Letters. That means in this you get OTP not in numeric but in alphabet letters.

Now you have to select the Banking option. After this, in the next step you have to select the option named PIN Change which you will get at the last.
After this you have to enter any number falling between 10 to 99. This is only a Captcha type verification.
Now you have to enter your current PIN i.e. the OTP which you have received.
In the next step, you have to enter your desired 4 digit ATM PIN which you want to set for your debit card. You will have to enter this new PIN twice to confirm.
After this, after your request is processed, you see a message of Transaction Complete on the screen of the ATM machine.
By following these steps you can generate PIN for your SBI ATM card by using your nearest ATM machine.

Some Important Facts:

Irrespective of whether you have a debit card of any card network of SBI (Rupay, VISA, MasterCard), the process will remain the same for all.
If your transaction fails while generating the debit card PIN in the ATM machine, then there is no need to panic, you can try again for it. The reason behind this is that you initially select options slowly and gradually enter your details into it, which causes your session to expire, and your transaction fails. However, you can repeat this process again with a little speed and attention.
If you do not receive OTP from the bank while generating the PIN, then some possible reasons may be –
- The mobile number entered by you may not be linked to your bank account, so ensure that the mobile number entered by you is linked to your bank account.
- It is possible that your mobile number may not have been recharged for a long time and SMS services on your number may have been stopped by the company, so please check this once.
- It is possible that the location where you are present may not have sufficient network. Therefore, take your mobile once to an area with good network coverage.
