At present only banks are permitted to initiate money transfers in the country subject to adherence of KYC/AML guidelines. A large number of people, particularly the migrant population, do not have access to formal banking channels for want of proof of identity/address. Consequently, they face difficulties in using the authorized channels for transferring funds. Reserve Bank has been receiving frequent representations to open up the formal banking channel to facilitate fund transfers of small value, subject to monthly ceilings and monitoring, to give impetus to the process of financial inclusion. We are issuing these guidelines after having reviewed the related issues. These relaxations are expected to provide money transfer facilities in a safe, secure and efficient manner across the length and breadth of the country.
