The acronym 'RTGS' stands for Real Time Gross Settlement. As the name indicates settlement is done on continuous (real-time) without netting. 'Gross Settlement' means the settlement of funds transfer instructions occurs individually (on an instruction by instruction basis).

National Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT) is transfer of funds online by a financial institution, mainly for the banks in India. Individuals, firms or corporates maintaining accounts with a bank branch can receive funds through the NEFT system.


1. The basic difference between them are settlement timings. RTGS is based on the gross settlement where the transaction is settled on an instruction by instruction basis. NEFT is an electronic fund transfer system that operates on a Deferred Net Settlement (DNS) basis which settles transactions in batches.


2. As per the Reserve Bank of India for RTGS the minimum amount should be above Rs 2 lakh and NEFT has no limit either minimum or maximum – on the amount of funds that could be transferred using NEFT.


3. RTGS is done on continuous basis whereas NEFT operates in hourly batches - there are eleven settlements from 9 am to 7 pm on week days (Monday through Friday) and five settlements from 9 am to 1 pm on Saturdays.

Charges applicable for the transaction

For transactions above Rs 1 lakh and up to Rs 2 lakhs – not exceeding Rs 15 (+ Service Tax)

Mutual Fund Review: Religare Tax Plan

Tax Plan is one of the better performing schemes from Religare Asset Management. Existing investors can redeem their investment after three years. But given the scheme's performance, they can continue to stay invested   Given the mandated lock-in period of three years, tax saving schemes give the fund manager the leeway to invest in ideas that may take time to nurture. Religare Tax Plan's investment ideas revolve around 'High Growth', which the fund manager has aimed to achieve by digging out promising stories/businesses in the mid-cap segment. Within the space, consumer staples has been the centre of attention for the last couple of years and can be seen as one of the key reasons for the scheme's outperformance as compared to the broader market. It has, however, tweaked its focus and reduced exposure in midcaps as they were commanding a high premium. The strategy seems to have worked as it returned a 22% gain last year. Religare Tax Plan has outperformed BSE 100...

Many a times your agent / distributor / relationship manager tries to push you some mutual fund schemes by enticing you with a typical sales pitch…"Sir, this scheme has generated 20% returns in the past one year." And this sales pitch often gets louder when the market conditions have been favourable. Some of the agents / distributors / relationship managers have another unique way of luring you. They say, "Sir / madam this scheme has been awarded the best scheme award in the past by a leading business channel"... And hearing all these sales talks you investors very often get attracted and sign a cheque in favour of the respective scheme.   But please ask yourself do you hear these sales talks when the capital markets turn turbulent? Why is it so that your agent / distributor / relationship manager avoids talking to you during turbulent times of the capital markets and doesn't boast about returns generated by the respective funds or awards being conferred on t...

To rent or to buy a home? Is a million dollar question!!

Your financial planner can help you weigh pros and cons of whether you plan to buy home in your current city or hometown THE two giant real estate deals of residential properties in prime locations in Mumbai and Delhi made to the headlines recently. Yet, with housing prices sky-rocketing post the real estate slump in 2008 properties in cities like Mumbai and Delhi are beyond the reach of the common man. Many studies reveal that over the last year the property sales in major metros have been stagnant despite the meticulous efforts put in by the real estate developers.
