According to bank branch manager Chandan Sharma, the hungry rodent had somehow managed to slip inside the machine where it feasted on Indian rupee notes worth over $18,000.
The damage was only discovered after the machine stopped working and technicians were called out.
They found the culprit lying dead in the midst of a large pile of shredded notes.
"The ATM was out of order for a few days and when our technicians opened the kiosk we were shocked to find shredded notes and a dead rat," said Sharma.
"We have started an investigation into this rare incident and will take measures to prevent a recurrence."
