From National Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT) to Immediate Payment Service (IMPS) and Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS), SBI customers can remit funds using one of these payments systems. NEFT operates on a deferred net settlement basis, meaning the transactions are settled in batches as opposed to the continuous, individual settlement in RTGS, according to SBI's corporate website, sbi.co.in. In RTGS, the processing of funds transfer instructions takes place at the time they are received (real time).
