Yes, NRIs can use NEFT, RTGS, or IMPS through their NRE or NRO accounts to transfer funds to accounts in India. However, it depends on where they are transferring. If they are transferring to a local resident account, then no documentation is required. If transferring to an NRE Account, then it is subject to compliance with banking and foreign exchange (FEMA) rules.
The transfer limits for each method are as follows:
IMPS method is fully available 24*7, including holidays. On the contrary, NEFT and RTGS have expanded their availability, with many banks supporting round-the-clock services.
RTGS is usually preferred for high-value transfers (above Rs. 2 lakhs) as it provides immediate real-time settlement without batching delays.
IMPS fees may differ depending on the transfer amount, while online NEFT and RTGS transfers usually have zero charges.
NEFT is often sufficient and cost-effective for day-to-day or non-urgent transfers. It can include paying bills, sending modest amounts, etc.
