RBI Consolidates Domestic Money Transfer Rules, Retains Rs 50,000 NEFT Limit
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has issued consolidated guidelines for domestic money transfers, maintaining existing transaction limits. Walk-in customers can remit up to Rs 50,000 via NEFT at bank branches, while cash pay-out transfers are capped at Rs 10,000 per transaction with a monthly limit of Rs 25,000 per beneficiary. Transfers through business correspondents and ATMs are limited to Rs 5,000 per transaction and Rs 25,000 monthly per remitter. The directions include strict KYC, authentication, and monitoring requirements to facilitate secure small-value fund transfers, especially for those lacking formal banking access.
