HOW TO TRANSFER FUNDS VIA NEFT & RTGS
PrintListen to this Article
The two options NEFT (National Electronic Funds Transfer) and RTGS (Real-Time Gross Settlement) offered by the RBI allow electronic transfer of funds from the remitter, who has an account in one bank, to the beneficiary, who has an account in any other bank/branch. The transfer can be carried out using the Internet banking facility.

The facility for making third-party payment using Internet banking should be activated for conducting transactions through NEFT or RTGS.
The person to whom the payment is to be made needs to be added as a 'beneficiary' and his bank account details provided in order to transfer the funds. These include the name of the beneficiary account holder, account number, bank and branch name, and the IFSC code of the beneficiary bank branch.
The bank requires 12-24 hours for authenticating the details of the beneficiary. After this is done, the new beneficiary is activated and the funds can be transferred to the specified account.
Select the type of transfer option (NEFT or RTGS), beneficiary name, amount, and the reason/description of transfer. On submission of the details and the security transaction password, the transfer instruction is processed. The NEFT transfer takes place in batches and the RTGS transfer is carried out on a real-time basis.
Points to note:
> The minimum amount that can be transferred by RTGS is Rs 2 lakh. There is no such limit for transfer through NEFT.
> NEFT is settled in batches at times defined by the RBI. RTGS transactions are settled continuously as and when they are put through.
> The transfer of funds through NEFT and RTGS can also be carried out by submitting the remittance form at the remitter's bank branch.

Today I am covering a very important provision in bank credit (working capital limit) which almost 100% of the people (even CAs and senior bankers) treat wrongly. Generally banks will compute drawing power (DP) in a cash credit/overdraft account by taking into consideration book debts outstanding upto 90 days. I think this concept is clear to everyone. But, almost everyone does a mess with the concept of security viz-a-viz the computation of DP. You are all aware that banks stipula...
Fund diversion has always been a major problem in our banking system. It has been observed in all major cases of wilful default or fraud that the funds borrowed from banks have been diverted elsewhere and the banks had no control on utilization of funds. This situation is caused due to the fact that there is no discipline in our banking system on opening and running of current and CC/OD accounts. Borrowers have simultaneous current and CC/OD accounts with many banks. To check this loophol...
