Breakthrough in Funds Transfer
|
In May 2004, the curtain was finally lifted on the much discussed Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) system, which many analysts considered, would revolutionize funds transfer in the Indian banking sector.
RTGS is an electronic funds transfer system designed to allow the real time settlement of inter bank payments in a fully secure environment.
It enables companies to transfer outstanding funds between banks in real time, thus allowing them to settle payments instantaneously and manage their working capital better. It is also expected to save significant amounts of money in interest payments on floating funds lying in banks.

|
The first RTGS transaction took place when Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) executed a deal for Hindustan Lever Ltd (HLL)3 with State Bank of India (SBI) being the receiving bank. The amount transferred to SBI was Rs 100 million. Several commercial banks in India had been involved in the phased implementation of RTGS for several preceding months.

Some of the early adopters of RTGS were SCB, SBI, Housing Development Finance Corporation (HDFC) and Saraswat Bank. IndusInd Bank was also close to implementing the system.
Commenting on the implementation of RTGS, a senior official at the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) said, "We have achieved a very significant landmark in migrating high value funds transfer from paper-based system to electronic based payment system".4
RTGS was the latest in the line of payment delivery systems that have
been implemented in the Indian banking sector since the 1990s. |
