RBI Consolidates Domestic Money Transfer Rules with Cash Limits and Security Measures
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has consolidated its domestic money transfer rules under the RBI (Domestic Money Transfer) Directions, 2026, effective November 11. Customers without bank accounts can deposit cash up to Rs 50,000 at bank branches for transfer to beneficiaries' accounts via NEFT. Other channels like ATMs and business correspondents have lower transaction and monthly limits. The framework also strengthens security measures, including customer verification and transaction monitoring, to prevent misuse while facilitating transfers for those with limited banking access.
