What NEFT is

NEFT, National Electronic Funds Transfer, is a nationwide centralised payment system owned and operated by the Reserve Bank of India. It moves rupees between bank accounts using the beneficiary's account number and IFSC code, and unlike UPI it settles in batches rather than payment by payment. It is the usual fallback for an exchange deposit larger than a UPI transaction will carry.
