TL;DR
Bank branches in India generally do not offer cash exchange or withdrawal services for foreigners at the counter. Some individual branches may help, but it varies. Post offices occasionally have cash available.
What the community said
Some individual bank branches may provide cash, but it's inconsistent — even within the same bank, one branch might help while another won't. It's worth calling ahead or visiting multiple branches.
