National Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT) is a 24x7 service that allows you to seamlessly transfer funds from one bank account to another. Available throughout, the RBI has set the minimum NEFT limit as ₹1 with no upper limit.
However, while the RBI has not imposed any maximum NEFT limit, banks have the discretion to set limits as per their policies and approval. Generally, banks set a maximum limit on the amount you can transfer in one transaction or throughout the day.
To know the NEFT limit of your bank, ask a representative, either by visiting the branch or by contacting customer care. You can also check the limit on the official website of the bank.
