India's bank transfer rails

Besides UPI, Indian businesses move money over three interbank systems run by the RBI and NPCI:

  • RTGS — real-time gross settlement for high-value transfers, with a minimum amount set by the RBI; used for large B2B payments, settlements and treasury.
  • NEFT — batch-based electronic transfer, now available 24/7 and settled in half-hourly cycles; common for business payments and payroll.
  • IMPS — instant transfers 24/7 by account number and IFSC; a standard rail for payouts and refunds below RTGS ranges.

Accepting RTGS / NEFT / IMPS payments

Merchants and platforms accept these transfers via virtual accounts: the provider issues a unique account number and IFSC per customer or order, matches incoming credits and sends a webhook. This is how many businesses collect large tickets that exceed UPI limits, and how PSPs receive settlement from partners. Netbanking checkout (see bank pages like State Bank of India netbanking) is a related pay-in option.

Payouts via API

An IMPS/NEFT payout API is the backbone of mass payouts in India: gaming withdrawals, marketplace sellers, gig workers, refunds and rewards. Typical features include bank account validation (penny drop), bulk files, status callbacks and automatic fallback between IMPS and NEFT. RTGS is used for large single payouts and liquidity moves.

Fees, timing and compliance

Fees for merchants are usually flat per transfer and vary with amount bands. IMPS credits in seconds; NEFT within the next settlement batch; RTGS in near real time during operating hours. Providers must work through RBI-regulated banks or licensed payment aggregators; high-risk verticals such as gaming face extra checks and local regulation.

What to compare

  • Virtual account volumes and naming, third-party payment rules.
  • Payout success rates, limits per transfer and per day, holiday handling.
  • Settlement currency if you are an overseas merchant (INR collection, FX).
