What is RTGS and NEFT?

RTGS is a fast process of fund transfer. With this system you can transfer money from one bank account to another. The full form of RTGS is the Real Time Grass Settlement. If you look at the difference between RTGS and NEFT, they both work in electronic fund transfer in a bank account. While there is no limit to transfer money in NEFT, you will need to transfer at least two lakh rupees in RTGS. At NEFT, money takes a while to reach another account, but it can be reached immediately on RTGS. In IMPS, money is immediately transferred to someone else’s account. The service operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
