What is the RTGS initiative of RBI?

RTGS - Real Time Gross Settlement System

RBI - Reserve Bank of India

As the name implies RTGS, is a system facilitating payment between banks thru out the day and in real time (if it is processed in that way by the participating banks). It is supposed to be a real time or near real time system, meaning when I pay someone with an account in another bank or another branch of the same bank, the recipient's account will be credited with in a matter of minutes or hours, instead of days.

How it works in terms of business, like settling the payment, covering the risks involved in settlement, cost of liquidity etc are not my cup of tea, so will instead see how it works technically.


Technically these are the systems that make up the RTGS,

INFINET - dedicated, secure communication backbone
SFMS (Structured Financial Messaging System) - Message format
IBM’s S/390 mainframe system - The RTGS and RBI's Core banking system
MQ Series - Messaging system
Participant interface (PI) - RTGS Client for the participating banks



IFTP - Inter-bank Funds Transfer Processor

IAS - Integrated Accounting System

CFMS - Centralised Funds Management System

INFINET - Indian FInance NETwork

SSS - Securities Settlement System


So when a bank needs to pay another bank, it uses the participant interface to send the payment request to IFTP. The IFTP will remove all information that is not needed by the settlement system and send the message to RTGS.

If the payment can be settled, the RTGS sends a response to the IFTP that the settlement is successful. The IFTP will construct a message with the RTGS information, add all the other information that came with the original payment request and then send the response to the Bank that initiated the request and the recipient bank.

If the payment can not be settled for any reason, the RTGS sends response to the IFTP that the settlement failed. The IFTP will construct a message with the RTGS information, add all the other information that came with the original payment request and then send the response the to the Bank that initiated the request.


Here Host means the banking system of the bank.

The details of the PI later.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of troubles when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in big starting capital.
Now, I feel good, I begin take up real income.
It's all about how to choose a proper partner who utilizes your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, parts and divides the income with me.

You can ask, if there are such firms? I have to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:
