Indian banks provide a combined application form for account holders like you, which can be used for both payment options, such as NEFT (National Electronic Funds Transfer) and RTGS (Real-Time Gross Settlement) transactions.
This form is only essential for branch-based money transfers, especially if you want to transfer funds using a cash amount, a cheque, or directly from your account.
For any online NEFT/IMPS/RTGS, you can directly pay using the Indian Bank Netbanking portal, no form required.
The form is simple and clearly divided into Applicant (Remitter) details and Beneficiary details. Also, available in hindi, Tamil, and other languages. Once filled, it needs to be submitted at the Indian Bank branch counter.
If you had an Allahabad Bank account, it also works for that merged account.
Minimum & Maximum Amount Rules
- NEFT: No minimum or maximum limit (can transfer even ₹1).
- RTGS: Minimum transfer amount is ₹2,00,000 (₹2 lakh). There is no upper limit for account holders.
Step-by-Step: How to Fill the Form
The filling process goes from top to bottom. You have to write with a Blue/black Ink pen in four sections.
