The Reserve Bank plans to upgrade its high-value online fund transfer system RTGS to enable handling of up to 50 lakh transactions a day and incorporate various new facilities for the bank customers. RTGS (Real Time Gross Settlement) system facilitates online transfer of high-value funds between bank customers of different banks on real-time basis and currently handles about three lakh transactions per day. 

Ever since RBI started RTGS system in March 2004, it has been highly successful and a preferred mode of inter-bank transfer of large-value funds by the customers of various banks, as funds get transferred almost instantaneously.

Keeping in view of the ever-rising usage of the system, RBI has decided to replace the existing RTGS system with a Next-Generation Real Time Gross Settlement (NG-RTGS) system, a senior official said.

The new system would be implemented for the entire banking and financial sector of the country and the exercise of replacing the existing RTGS system would be executed in various phases.

Currently, RTGS system, under which funds worth Rs 2 lakh or more can be transferred instantaneously, is handling an average of three lakh transactions per day, up from only 4,000 transactions when it was launched in 2004.

RBI expects 7 lakh transaction per day through RTGS very soon, 25 lakh transactions per day in five years and then about 50 lakh transactions per day in next 10 years.

To take care of the growing popularity of the system and a need for more robust fund-transfer system in an expanding economy, the RBI has decided to upgrade the existing system, the official said.

The new system would have initial capability of handling 7-12 lakh transactions a day and an upgradation potential of 25-50 lakh transactions every day, the official added.

Besides, the new system would also incorporate various new functions for the benefit of bank customers.

The NG-RTGS system would have advanced liquidity management features and queue management techniques and would allow the bank customers to initiate fund transfers for future dates and get information about the status of their transactions through SMS alerts.

As part of the project, the RBI has already sought expressions of interest from potential technology vendors and system integrators for implementing the new system.

The decision to upgrade the existing system was taken after a Working Group, comprising of representatives from RBI and select banks such as SBI, Punjab National Bank, ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank, submitted its report in August 2010 for implementation of the NG-RTGS.

The entire implementation of the new system is expected to be completed within two years.

    Dear sir/madam,

    I am Dilip Shukla and i received a mail from CHEVROLET AUTOMOBILES, UK which stated that i have been chosen in some lucky draw where i am winning some amount of money and a car. So further as i was reading the mail they wanted me to share some of my personal details which i did gave it to them. So then maybe two days later i received another mail from Miss Deepana Singh a senior security officer at Indira Gandhi international airport new udaan bhawan opp terminal 3 in which she stated to pay some amount of money to a SBI account number so that the customs can clear the parcel. So after few days when i had arranged the money she asked for. Then later i got to Delhi and called Deepana Singh to arrange a meeting with her so that i can get more information about the mail I was sent and also about the procedure. But unfortunately the meeting was not possible as she said she was buzy.But she mentioned to transfer the money earlier on the call and even sent me account details of someone where I had to transfer the money but later when I was in Delhi and called her she told that she couldn’t meet and also I asked her how much and where I had to send the money. Then this time she gave me a different account number which sounded weird to me and told to transfer the money which I did. A amount of 10K i transferred to that account. So after this the next day she called me and again told me to transfer more amount of money about to be approx. 50k and also I received a mail from RBI saying the same thing saying pay 50k for account upgrade for which I denied because I am not sure about the scheme.So my complain is whether this thing they are asking me to invest in is it something real or fake. Because a lot of events above has given me negative vibes about the whole thing.

    So please kindly revert me back as soon as possible about what should I do.Also giving me further directions about what should be the right procedure if this above thing isn’t fake.

    THANKING YOU,

    YOURS SINCERELY.
