What is an RTGS charge?

Threshold & Settlement: RTGS is designed for high-value transactions with a minimum transfer threshold of ₹2,00,000 (₹2 lakh and above). Transactions settle continuously on an individual order-by-order basis.

24x7 Availability: The RTGS system operates round-the-clock (24x7x365), though individual customer initiation is subject to participant bank systems and operational maintenance windows.

Channel Differences: Many banks provide outward RTGS free of customer charges through digital channels (internet banking and mobile banking). Branch-initiated RTGS requests generally incur a fee based on the transaction amount slab.

Regulatory Limits: Where regulator circulars prescribe maximum permissible customer fees, banks cannot exceed those ceilings. Check your specific bank’s verified entry below for its exact tariff.
