Convert your ID Card to ATM Card!!

Today I was just going through my drawer and found out a lost ATM card that I had found couple of months ago . Just playing with it, I just stripped of a layer of lamination from its backside along with the magnetic strip with quite a ease. Then I just wanted to work on idea to make my ID card work as Atm card, the idea that I had though more than a year ago, but didn't do that, in a fear that I could damage the Atm card.

To remove magnetic tape from my Atm card was not so easy, but somehow stipped it off in a good condition. The IIT Kanpur and the Atm card size are exactly the same as both follow the industry standard. If I paste the magnetic strip at the back of I-Card, then I-Card would work as Atm Card!! But the problem was how to paste. I went to shop behind the hall for lamination, but he denied owing to thickness of I-Card, then thought to paste it using electric iron. Soon, I realised, double sided tape could do the trick, which is easily available at the shopping centre in the campus. I pasted it using the tape. I eagerly wanted to test it that worked and rushed to the SBI ATM to test it. Hurray! Now I have my I-Card, which works at Atm Card through. I will post the photos soon. :) :D
