'RTGS' stands for 'Real Time Gross Settlement'. The RTGS system is a funds transfer mechanism where transfer of money takes place from one bank to another on a 'real time' and on a 'gross' basis. This is the fastest possible money transfer system through banking channels. 'Real time' means no waiting period; transactions are settled as soon as they are processed. 'Gross settlement' means the transaction is finalized on its own, without it being bunched with any other transaction. View more
