whether setting up of A.T.M. machine by a bank on the leasehold premises amounts to sub letting or it is merely a collateral purpose?

If the premises has been leased out to the bank and the bank is setting up its own ATM machine (rather than any other bank's ATM machine) in the leased premises, it would not amount to sub-letting.

Dear Saurav,
It is quite baffling. If I say that if a lessee bank uses the premises for its purposes then it won't amount to sub-letting. For this also you need judgment. Better you yourself search.

Yes it amounts to sub letting and you can be evicted on this count alone.

However there is now an alternative that you can buy an ATM machine and the bank gives you per transection fees.

If the tenant is using the premises for his own use it is not illegal.

If he is providing the part or whole of the premises for any body else either at rent or free of rent, this is called sub tenancy.
