Electronic Funds Transfer: NEFT /RTGS
NATIONAL ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER (NEFT )     
( An electronic payment channel for funds transfer )

National Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT) system is an electronic funds transfer system introduced by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to facilitate banks to transfer funds electronically from one customer account of a participant bank / branch to another customer account of any other participant bank / branch.    NEFT system uses the concept of centralised accounting system and gets operated online. NEFT system also uses the state-of-art technology for communication, security, etc. with the aim of offering better customer service.

At present there are 6 time zones in which customers can transfer their funds in NEFT on week days and 3 time zones on Saturdays.  The time zones are 9.00 AM, 11.00 AM, 12.00 Noon, 1.00 PM, 3.00 PM and 5.00 PM.   The messages received from the Member Banks up to the above time zones are consolidated and sent to Reserve Bank of India for inter-change and sending to the recipient bank/branch for crediting to the recipient customer.    The beneficiary gets the credit on the same day if the funds are remitted in any time zone before 2.00 PM and on the next day latest for the remittances sent after 2.00 PM time zone.
