Inter Bank Transfer is a special service that allows you to transfer funds electronically from one bank account to accounts in other banks in India. In order to transfer money across accounts you don’t have to use a cheque or cash. Earlier we used to withdraw money from one bank and then deposit in another bank branch by going there, it is a time consuming process. But after the introduction of NEFT and RTGS service it is very easy to transfer fund from one bank to another.
NEFT
NEFT stands for National Electronic Funds Transfer. Using this system, one bank can transfer funds to the credit account with the other participating Bank. RBI acts as the service provider and transfers the credit from one bank’s account to other bank's account. NEFT is a service offered RBI to all the participating banks. Using this you can directly transfer your money to an account with another bank. But the money won’t reach the other account immediately. Normally it takes a day before the other account is debited. NEFT/RTGS facility is not available in all bank branches. It is better to verify that it is supported by your branch before you can do the transfer.
RTGS
RTGS stands for Real Time Gross Settlement. The RTGS system makes easy transfer of funds from accounts in one bank to another on a “real time” and on “gross settlement” basis. The RTGS system is the fastest form of Inter Bank money transfer facility available in India. RTGS is another service offered by RBI for making Inter Bank transactions easier. Here money is transferred immediately to the beneficiary account. When we do Inter Bank transfer through RTGS, the money will transfer to the beneficiary account within 5 minutes so RTGS is considered as almost an instant interbank transfer. The only drawback is that in order to avail this facility, you have to transfer at least Rs. 100,000.
