Present Clearing System v/s RTGS System
In the present clearing system, person receiving the payment has to present the instruments to his bank and his bank has to present the instruments in the local clearing or to send outstation instruments to the concerned station/place for clearance. Payment will be effected within one day for High Value Clearing and within few days for outstation instruments. Physical instruments are to be presented within specified time limit and final settlement takes place only after return clearing.
In RTGS System, person making the payment is remitting funds electronically through his Bank and there is no physical movement of instrument. Transactions are settled on a continuous basis and settlement is immediate, final and irrevocable. Beneficiary receives the credit within few hours. RTGS is a safe, secure, sound and efficient payment and settlement system, both for local as well as outstation financial transactions. It helps to manage working capital more efficiently.
