NEFT - INTRODUCTION
OF CONTINUOUS RELEASE OF CREDIT MESSAGES
Notification
No.:RBI/2012-13/417
Date: 18/02/2013
Please refer to our circular DPSS. CO.
EPPD No. 840/ 04.03.01/ 2012-13 dated November 26, 2012 on the captioned
subject.
It has now been decided to implement
the feature of continuous release of credit messages in the National Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT)
system with effect from Saturday, 9th
March 2013. The required changes in the NEFT processing software at the
National Clearing Centre, Mumbai will be implemented after the EOD on March 08,
2013 (Friday). Any change requirement in the SFMS/NEFT setup at banks’ end will
be communicated in due course to all the member banks by IDRBT.
As indicated in the above circular, the
feature of continuous release of credit messages is being introduced with the
objective of providing maximum time to beneficiary/destination banks to process
the inward NEFT transactions, thereby facilitating more efficient handling of
growing transaction volumes in the system.
Further, the feature also envisages
the optimum use of network resources and processing capacity by spreading the
release of messages throughout the one hour time window between the two batch
settlements.
Some clarifications regarding the
sequencing of message flow under the new feature as well as start of day and
end of day operations, and handling of rescheduled and return messages, is
provided in the Annex.
Banks are advised to carefully monitor
very high value transactions originated from their end as also the availability
of funds in their settlement accounts.
As clearly indicated in the NEFT
Procedural Guidelines messages once sent by the originating bank are
irrevocable.
