Secondary Services of Banks

Banks' primary service or business is collecting deposits and lending them. In

order to support this primary service banks also provide supporting services to

deposit and advances products. This also generates some income to banks in the

form of commission or service charges.

Remittances: Remitting money from one bank branch to another bank branch or

its own bank branches is called Remittances. This can be done through various

means like NEFT, RTGS, Demand Draft, Bankers' Cheque. In olden days banks

used to remit money through Mail Transfer (MT), Telegraphic Transfer (TT) etc.

For international transactions banks use Outward Remittance and Travelers'

Cheque (TC).

National Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT): This system was introduced by

RBI in order to transfer funds within the banking system through electronic

format. Under this system, an individual or a business entity can transfer funds

from a paisa to any amount as it has no upper limit. This is a reliable, secure,

efficient and economical system of funds transfer and clearing in banking

system. A service charge is collected per transaction from the customer.

Real Time Gross Settlement System (RTGS): This is also an Electronic Fund

Transfer System like NEFT. But an important difference is seen in settlement.

This is settled on gross basis at real time. Each and every remittance transaction

will be settled individually. These transactions are irrevocable. Each

participating bank need to open an account with RBI for settlement of funds. The

settlement is done to the banks' account with RBI on individual transaction basis.

For both NEFT and RTGS, we need have IFSC code of beneficiary in order to

remit the funds.

Bankers' Cheque (BC) and Demand Draft (DD): This is also an oldest method

of fund transfer with confirmed and secure way of transfer of funds. These are

the document based negotiable instruments used to transfer funds. An applicant

needs to purchase a bankers cheque or demand draft from a bank in order to pay

the payee on the same bank's different branch.
