What is RTGS?

Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) is the fastest possible electronic funds transfer mechanism in India, managed by the Reserve Bank of India. Transactions are settled individually and in real time — that is, without any waiting period or batching. The moment a transfer is processed, it is immediately and irrevocably settled in the books of the RBI.

RTGS is primarily designed for large-value transactions. Since settlement occurs in RBI books, the payment is considered final and irrevocable, completely eliminating settlement risk.

Minimum Amount ₹ 2,00,000 No upper ceiling

Settlement Real Time Instantly in RBI books

Operating Days Mon – Sat Except RBI holidays

RTGS Window 9:00 – 16:30 Inward till 17:00

Unlike RTGS, NEFT has no minimum transfer amount, making it ideal for transferring any value — from a few rupees to large sums — securely between more than 1,50,000+ bank branches across India.
