RBI has launched National Electronic Fund Transfer (NEFT) Scheme with advanced and secure
features for facilitating one-to-one funds transfer requirements of individuals / corporate.
There is no limit – either minimum or maximum – on the amount of funds that could be transferred
using NEFT. However, maximum amount per transaction is limited to Rs.50,000/- for cash-based
remittances within India and also for remittances to Nepal under the Indo-Nepal Remittance Facility
Scheme.
RTGS provides continuous (real-time) settlement of funds transfers individually on an order by order
basis (without netting). Here, ‘Real Time’ means the processing of instructions at the time they are
received rather than at some later time. Similarly, ‘Gross Settlement’ means that settlement of funds
transfer instructions occurs individually (on an instruction by instruction basis).
The NEFT platform is primarily aimed for small value transactions. At one transaction the maximum
value should be Rs 50000.
On the other hand, the RTGS is aimed for large value transactions. The minimum amount to be
remitted through RTGS is Rs 2 lakh. There is no upper ceiling for RTGS transactions.).
