The initiatives taken by the Reserve Bank focused on technology-based solutions for the improvement of the payment and settlement system infrastructure, coupled with the introduction of new payment products by taking advantage of the technological advancements in banks. The continued increase in the volume of cheques added pressure on the existing set-up, thus necessitating a cost-effective alternative system. Electronic Clearing Service (Credit) and Electronic Clearing Service (Debit), run by Reserve Bank, have been replaced with National Automated Clearing House run by National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI). Reserve Bank migrated its old Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) system with the modern and feature-rich National Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT) system.
NEFT System
In November 2005, a more secure system was introduced for facilitating one-to-one funds transfer requirements of individuals / corporates. Available across a longer time window, the NEFT system provides for batch settlements at half-hourly intervals, thus enabling near real-time transfer of funds. Certain other unique features viz. accepting cash for originating transactions, initiating transfer requests without any minimum or maximum amount limitations, facilitating one-way transfers to Nepal, receiving confirmation of the date / time of credit to the account of the beneficiaries, etc., are available in the system. From December 2019, it is available 24×7 throughout the year with half-hourly settlements.
Prepaid Payment Instruments (PPIs)
PPIs are payment instruments that facilitate purchase of goods and services, including financial services, remittance facilities, etc., against the value stored on such instruments. PPIs may be loaded / reloaded by, cash, debit to a bank account, credit and debit cards, and other PPIs. The electronic loading / reloading of PPIs shall be through these payment instruments issued only by regulated entities in India and shall be in INR only. The PPIs may be issued as cards, wallets, and any such electronic or digital form / instrument which can be used to access the PPI and to use the amount therein. In line with the Payment Systems Vision – 2021, interoperability was made mandatory for full-KYC PPIs and for all acceptance infrastructure.
National Automated Clearing House (NACH)
NACH is a centralised Electronic Clearing System (ECS) system operated by NPCI. NACH was formed to consolidate multiple Electronic Clearing Service systems running across the country into one centralised system. It operates both NACH Credit and NACH Debit payment systems. NACH credit, like ECS credit, is used for making one-to-many credit transfers towards payment of dividends, interest, salary, pension, distribution of subsidies, etc. NACH Debit operates to collect payments from many accounts to one destination account e.g. collection of various utility payments pertaining to telephone, electricity, water and gas charges etc. It also facilitates in collecting periodic instalments towards loans, investments in mutual funds, insurance premium etc.
The destination banks and accounts are identified based on account number, IFSC or MICR codes. NACH works on the strength of Mandates given by customers for allowing debit to the account at a specified frequency. Apart from paper mandates, paperless mandates can also be created electronically. The system also identifies destination account based on Aadhaar number, through APBS leg of NACH.
In order to further enhance customer convenience and to leverage the 24×7 availability of RTGS, NACH was made available on all days of the week from August 1, 2021.
Point of Sale (POS) Terminals / Online Transactions using credit/debit/prepaid cards issued by Card Payment Networks
Five Card Payment Networks, including India’s own Rupay run by NPCI, have been authorised by Reserve Bank.
There are over fifty lakh POS terminals in the country, which enable customers to make payments for purchases of goods and services by means of credit/debit cards. To facilitate customer convenience the Bank has also permitted cash withdrawal using debit cards issued by the banks at PoS terminals.
The PoS for accepting card payments also include online payment gateways. This facility is used for enabling online payments for goods and services. The online payments are enabled through Payment Aggregators or Payment Gateways. For more details, please see section on them under Other Payment Systems/Services.
Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) System
RTGS is a funds transfer systems where transfer of money takes place from one bank to another on a “real time” and on “gross” basis. Settlement in “real time” means payment transaction is not subjected to any waiting period. “Gross settlement” means the transaction is settled on one to one basis without bunching or netting with any other transaction. Once processed, payments are final and irrevocable. This was introduced in in 2004 and settles all inter-bank payments and customer transactions above ₹2 lakh. From December 2020, it is available 24×7, making India one of the few countries in the world to operate its RTGS system round the clock.
