Hi Guys, today we are sharing some important banking terms which are mostly asked in PO interviews. we are trying to cover almost all terms. these terms are:-
1. Real-time gross settlement (RTGS):-

The minimum value of transaction in RTGS system is Rs 2,00,000. The system effects final settlement of interbank funds transfers on a continuous, transaction-by-transaction basis throughout the processing day. Customers can access the RTGS facility between 9 am to 4:30 pm on weekdays and 9 am to 1:30 pm on Saturdays .

3.NO FRILLS ACCOUNT:-
No frill account is a type of bank account, with low / Zero balance requirement with extra-features removed.RBI came up with this No-frill concept, because poor people cannot open regular bank accounting having requirements like Rs.5000/- minimum balance etc.
So there are no frill accounts for them. So that poor people can open bank accounts and take loans, that’ll save them from the 36% interest rate charged by the evil money lenders. Account can be opened with a minimum initial deposits of Rs.5/- and maintained at the minimum balance of Rs 5, no penalty charges will be deducted in case the minimum balance reaches zero.The Account holders will not be eligible for Cheque Book and ATM card facilities. Maximum numbers of withdrawals are restricted to 30 every 6 months. Duplicate passbook may be issued to the account holder with a charge of Rs.10.
4.RTGS :-
It’s a fund transfer mechanism that enables money to move from one bank to another on a real time and gross basis. Simply put, real time means the transaction is settled instantly without any waiting period and gross means that it is not bunched with any other transaction.
You can transfer a minimum of Rs 2 lakh through RTGS; there is no upper ceiling though. The bank will charge you Rs25-Rs50 for an outward RTGS transaction, inward transactions are free. RTGS is the fastest inter-bank money transfer facility available through secure banking channels in India. But not all branches in India are RTGS enabled. Visit the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) website for a list of branches where you will get this facility. The RTGS customer service window for customers is available from 9.00 hours to 16.30 Monday to Friday and 9.00 to 13.30 on Saturdays.
