Questions on banking

transfer the amount to the companys own account. This is done by crediting the account of the sponsor bank
which again is generally the bank with which the company receiving the payments maintains the account. The
actual bill would be sent to the consumer as usual at his address as before.
21. Are there any charges for using the ECS?
Reserve Bank of India has exempted levy o fall charges for processing ECS at the clearing houses. The
banks, however, are free to charge a fee from their corporate customers for use of this facility.
22. How can an NRI remit money into India?
As an NRI, an individual can remit funds into India through normal banking channels using the facilities
provided by the overseas bank. Alternately, an NRI can also remit funds through authorised, Money Transfer
Agents (MTA). Of late, a good number of banks have launched their inward remittance products which
facilitate funds transfer in matter of hours.
23. How do banks make payments for their own transactions?
Ordinarily, the transactions among banks (not pertaining to customer transactions) would be for large
values .Hence such transactions are called as large-value funds transfers. The actual transfer of funds will
take place through the accounts which the banks maintain with the RBI. For this purpose, banks can give
cheques drawn on their account maintained with RBI to one another, which will then be processed through the
clearing house. Alternatively, they can also make use of large value payment system called as Real Time
Gross Settlement System where funds transfer takes place instantaneously, based on electronic instructions
just like NEFT/EFT in the case of individuals and companies.
24. What is Real Time Gross Settlement System?
Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) system, introduced in India since March 2004, is a system through which
electronic instructions can be given by banks to transfer funds from their account to the account of another
bank. The RTGS system is maintained and operated by the RBI and provides a means of efficient and faster
funds transfer among banks facilitating their financial operations. As the name suggests, funds transfer
between banks takes place on a real time basis. Therefore, money can reach the beneficiary instantaneously
and the beneficiarys bank has the responsibility to credit the beneficiarys account within two hours.
25. Can individuals make payments through RTGS system?
Yes, individuals can transfer funds through RTGS system through their banks. Though the system is primarily
designed for large value payments, bank customers have the choice of availing of the RTGS facility for their
time critical low value payments as well. A customer who desires to use this facility should approach his bank
to find out whether his own bank branch as well as the beneficiarys bank branch is enabled to transfer funds
through RTGS system. Banks may levy charges for such funds transfers at their discretion and based on the
customer-bank relationship. However, RBI has decided that small value customer transaction of up to Rs. 1
lakh would be migrated to NEFT/EFT.
26. What is Cheque Truncation?
Cheque Truncation is a system of cheque clearing and settlement between banks based on electronic
data/images or both without physical exchange of instrument.
27. How would Cheque Truncation benefit the bank customers?
The bank customers would get their cheques realised faster as same day (for local cheques) or next day (for
outstation cheques) clearing is possible in Cheque Truncation System (CTS). As straight through processing
and automated payment processing are enabled by CTS faster realisation is accompanied by a reduction in
costs for the customers and the banks. It is also possible for banks to offer innovative products and services
based on CTS. The banks have additional advantage of reduced reconciliation and clearing frauds.
28. What is the role of RBI in payment systems?
The RBI, apart from the role of regulator and supervisor of payment systems, plays the role of a Settlement
Bank apart from being a catalyst, an operator and a user. The RBI has been taking initiatives in introducing
new modes of more efficient and safe means of effecting payments in the country on a continuous basis. The
12
RBI introduced the system of Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) based cheque clearing during late
80's for four metropolitan cities (Mumbai, New Delhi, Chennai and Kolkata). During mid 90s, electronic
payment systems like ECS and NEFT/EFT were introduced. During 2004-05, RTGS was introduced. Besides
introducing these newer mechanisms or systems, the RBI has also been constantly ensuring that the existing
systems are upgraded / refined to increase their efficiency and to meet the requirements of customers. Taking
advantage of advancements in technology, the RBI has brought in additional safety measures in these
systems to make them secure and also to maintain the integrity of such transactions.
Besides operating the various components of payments systems, RBI also participates in these systems as a
user. RBI also acts as a service provider. RBI has the role of regulating and supervising the various payment
systems.
29. How does RBI regulate payment systems?
The Board for regulation and supervision of Payment and Settlement Systems (BPSS) is a sub-committee of
the Central Board of the RBI and is the highest policy making body on payment system. The Board as well as
the council are assisted by a recently created department the Department of Payment and settlement
Systems (DPSS). The Board has been entrusted with the responsibility to authorise, prescribe policies and set
standards for all existing and future payment systems in the country. The Board also has the powers to
determine membership criteria to these systems and related policies.
30. Whom should I approach in case of any complaints relating to customer services under payment
systems?
The customer may approach the bank concerned to redress the complaint. In case of lack of response /
satisfactory redressal by the bank, the customer may approach the Grievance Redressal Cell in the local RBI
office. The customer may also approach the office of the Banking Ombudsman for redressal of his complaint.
Terms and Words used in Payments

Details
Cash
Cash payment is the most common payment system which is well known.
Cheque, demand
draft, payment order,
bankers cheque
Paper based payments are in the form of cheques, demand drafts, payment
orders, bankers cheques, refund orders, warrants etc. These are also referred to
as negotiable instruments. For simplicity, they are generally referred to as
cheques.
i. Cheques are simply a payment instruction from the account holder to his/her
banker directing that a certain sum of money should be paid to a specific
individual or to the bearer of the instrument. On receipt of cheques, the
beneficiary will deposit it with his banker who will collect the money through
clearing house system, where banks in a city exchange cheques with one another
and settle the payments by arriving at a net amount of payables and receivables.
After exchange of cheque, the account of the issuer of the cheque is debited and
the credit is passed on to the banker of the beneficiary. An account holder should
ensure that a cheque is issued only when there is sufficient balance of funds in
his/her account. Cheques drawn on any bank in the country can be cleared
through various mechanisms available in the clearing system. The process usually
takes 2 to 4 days depending on the local clearing house procedures.
In India, cheques are valid for three years from the date of issue. However,
cheques are treated as stale, by practice, by banks after since months from the
date of issue, but they can be revalidated by the issuer. Dividend warrants and
interest warrants issued by companies are also treated as cheques which are
usually valid for three months from the date of issue. In case of a cheque, the
beneficiary is entitled to receive the money due only if the balance is available to
clear the cheque. However, there are some pre-paid negotiable instruments eg.
Demand drafts / payment order / banker's cheques.
13
ii. Demand drafts are used when one person wants to send or transfer money
(remit) to another person who is in another city. The person wanting to send
money, deposits cash in a bank or issue a cheque in favour of the issuing bank,
which issues him a demand draft. The demand draft is sent to the person who is
to receive the money. The receiver gives it to the branch/bank where he holds an
account and receives the payment. They are valid for 6 months. Banks normally
charge a commission for issuing demand drafts.
iii. Payment orders or Bankers Cheques are similar to demand drafts but are
usually issued for payments within a city. These are usually valid for 3 months.
Banks may charge a commission for issuing Payment Orders and Bankers
Cheques.

concerned merchant establishment and the card issuing organization, if different,
to facilitate this arrangement. The amounts charged to the customer are paid by
card issuer to the merchant and subsequently billed to the customer. A credit card
holder may not be an account holder in the bank which issues the credit card.
