Electronic Clearing Service (ECS), introduced by Reserve Bank of India in 1994 is now being widely used across many centres in the country for making and receiving bulk payments. The ECS (Debit) system was introduced with the objective of providing an alternative method for effecting payment transactions electronically in respect of the utility bill payments, insurance premia, card payments, loan repayments, etc., which would obviate the need for issuing and handling paper instruments such as cheques. This would also facilitate improved customer service by banks / companies / corporations / government departments, etc. that are collecting / receiving the payments. The ECS (Debit) Procedural Guidelines prescribes the procedure to be followed by the different stake holders in the process.
