Hello Friends,

National Electronic Fund Transfer (NEFT) is an online system for transferring funds of financial institution, especially for the banks in India. This service is used mainly to transfer funds below Rs 100000.
The instant funds transfer system, known as the Real Time Gross Settlement(RTGS) cannot be used for an amount below Rs. 1 lakh by the banks as per the instructions of the banking regulator, the Reserve Bank of India. RBI has asked banks to offer National Electronic Fund Transfer (NEFT) which provided T+0 and T+1 settlement system depending on the time a customer gives instruction to the bank for transferring the fund for small transactions.

Thanks and Regards,

I would love to know more about the NAPS.anybody has an idea please and how much they charge.and also how much is the instant one for other banks as well.

What os Ribs?

NIP/NEFT/RTGS
These are all channels to initiating transfers in Nigeria.
NIP - just as the name suggests "NIBSS-Instant-Payment" within a minute the beneficiary gets the funds either inter/intra bank means.

NEFT - "NIBSS-Electronic-Fund-Transfer", after 24hrs, beneficiary gets this either initiated from electronics means from your convenience or at the initiating banks' branch.

RTGS - "Real-Time-Gross-Settlement, the beneficiary gets the funds immediately, but initiated from the branch most times. Hence, be informed that the huge difference of this and the above 2, is the "batch disposition " of funds.

On the whole, all is good to go, depending on what, timing, and the nature of the transaction that will determine which to venture into.

They are 2 different electronic funds transfer methods

1. NEFT stands for national electronics funds transfer
2. Instant EFT stands for instant electronic funds transfer

while both of them are used for transferring funds, the difference lies in the nature of a transaction:-

NEFT is best suited for bulk transfers eg salary uploads, corporate payments, online payment for premium goods and takes a minimum of 24hrs for clearance

Instant EFT on the other hand, is for transactions within a certain limit determined by the central bank of a nation. The transfer is immediate without any clearance procedure (the account transfer takes place in real time). The average duration of a transaction is 2 mins. It is the most suited e-payment option for online purchases.

EFTs are very different from wire transfer although similar. The major difference is in how they are executed.
