In June, during the credit policy review, RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das had announced that customers can avail 24×7 Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS), NACH, on all days of the week with effect from August 1, 2021.

NACH has emerged as a popular and prominent digital mode of Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) for the beneficiaries.
