Difference between RTGS, IMPS & NEFT payment services :
RTGS – Real Time Gross Payment Settlement
RTGS allows large value transaction. The minimum amount that you can transfer through RTGS is Rs 2 lakh with no maximum limit. The payment is transferred in real-time. For an immediate transfer of fund up to Rs 2 lakh and above RTGS is a preferred tool, especially for small businesses. No charges are levied on online RTGS transfer. But if you make this payment in the bank then be ready for some charges along with tax.
IMPS – Immediate Payment Service
IMPS enables small value transaction. You can transfer a minimum amount as low as Rs 1 to a beneficiaries account, but the upper limit is fixed and can not transfer beyond Rs 2 lakh. The desired amount immediately gets transferred. Charges for IMPS are decided by the individual bank and it may differ from bank to bank.
NEFT- National Electronic Transfer of Funds
In contrast to RTGS and IMPS, the fund transfer in NEFT happens in half-hourly basis. As far as the amount you can transfer NEFT has no upper limit to the transaction amount. Nil charges on online NEFT transaction.
