My parents are getting older and it's getting difficult for them to go to the bank or ATM regularly. Staying in a different city I feel bad I can't help them out. Does anyone know of a reliable way of getting cash delivered to doorstep?

Banks have such services, generally outsourced to partner firms. Talk to your RM/ branch. There will be minimal delivery fee. This is also mentioned in the booklet that comes with account opening

Be with your parents. That’s the best help you can do to them

Who doesn't want to. Unfortunately my parents are not Ambanis. Every one has economic and social constraints to bow down to

In your post you mentioned “I feel bad, I can’t help “ . When you can’t help them , whom do you expect!!!

Both Govt and Private banks offer door step services specially for the senior citizens/ elderly. Most of the govt banks offer it without additional cost. Some private ones also offer this with no additional fees. Check it with your bank or relationship / branch manger

I checked again the fee varies for non-financial and financial services like ₹100-200+GST so check with your bank and home service branch just check Door Step Banking (DSB)

Tell your friends to do it if it's your hometown or someone you trust.

Issue is same with friends as well. Most of them had to leave the country or the state for better opportunities

Yeah, that i have done. Wherever possible i try to pay online. But most cities have still not evolved to Bangalore level where even I pay house hold help via Google pay. So cash cannot be eliminated entirely
