While studying for Banking Exams or doing fund transfer we often come across the words NEFT and RTGS. Lets try to understand what is NEFT and RTGS and what is the difference between them. NEFT and RTGS are two main money transfer mechanisms in India. That is if we want to transfer money from one bank to another bank we have to use any one of this method.
Transferring money between two accounts in same bank is pretty straight forward and it’s an internal matter of the bank (eg: between two SBI branches and also banks within SBI Group), it does not have to deal with other banks and their protocols, however when one bank wants to send the money to another bank in India, there is a defined mechanism (eg: from SBI to ICICI, HDFC, Axis Bank etc.) it has to be done and hence NEFT and RTGS comes into our help. Both these systems are maintained by Reserve Bank of India.
