RTGS

• The acronym `RTGS` stands for Real Time Gross Settlement, which can be explained as a system where there is continuous and real-time settlement of fund-transfers, individually on a transaction by transaction basis (without netting). `Real Time` means the processing of instructions at the time they are received; `Gross Settlement` means that the settlement of funds transfer instructions occurs individually. Our bank, TNGB is one of the participants in this system introduced by RBI. Customers can transfer money from one account to another, between two bank accounts of their own, or from their account to others’ accounts in different banks.
• Considering that the funds settlement takes place in the books of the Reserve Bank of India, the payments are final and irrevocable.

RTGS offers many advantages over the other modes of funds transfer:

• It is a safe and secure system for funds transfer.
• RTGS transactions / transfers have no maximum amount cap.
• The system is available on all days.. There is real time transfer of funds to the beneficiary account.
• The remitter need not use a physical cheque or a demand draft.
• The beneficiary need not visit a bank branch for depositing the paper instruments.
• The beneficiary need not be apprehensive about loss / theft of physical instruments or the likelihood of fraudulent encashment thereof.
• The transaction charges have been capped by RBI.
• The transaction has legal backing.
• Credit to Beneficiary’s Account on the same day. (Next day if remittance is done late in the evening).
  • Confirmation of transaction is sent to the remitter by SMS

The remitting customer has to furnish the following information to a bank for initiating an RTGS remittance:
