Compare Federal Bank Transaction Limits and AU Small Finance Bank Transaction Limits using the controlling cost, balance, rate, tenure, liquidity, limits, eligibility and current first-party bank evidence for this product type.

Federal Bank customers who need to distinguish their FedNet limit scheme, FedMobile customer-set limit, UPI first-use state and card variant.
AU customers who want the exact retail AU 0101, UPI, debit-card and new-payee limit rather than a generic ₹10 lakh digital ceiling.

| Decision factor | Federal Bank Transaction Limits | AU Small Finance Bank Transaction Limits |
|---|---|---|
| Fee separation | Limits are not charges. Transfer, ATM and cash-handling pricing remains in the Banking Fees & Charges and ATM/Cash layers. | Transaction ceilings are separate from applicable account/card/service charges and cash-deposit pricing. |
| Product / channel scope | FedNet/FedMobile limits depend on limit scheme, account/programme and customer-set controls; Celesta/premium limits cannot be generalized to Base/Standard customers. | Limits depend on the exact AU account/card variant and configured AU 0101 customer controls; customer-set values can be lower than published maxima. |
| Normalized limit coverage | One dated overlay for current FedNet slab limits, adjustable FedMobile controls, UPI security states and card/cash limits. | One current-source map of AU 0101 transfer, UPI, card and cash thresholds with clear distinction between steady-state and first-use states. |
| Current transaction controls | FedNet's current scheme ranges from ₹1 lakh/day Base Net to ₹1 crore/day Celesta overall, while FedMobile's default mobile limit is ₹10 lakh with premium maxima up to ₹20 lakh and staged cooling for increases. | AU publishes ₹10 lakh/day for retail IMPS, NEFT, RTGS, intra-bank, Payment Gateway and Bill Payment, ₹50,000 for one-time/new-payee initial states, and ₹1 lakh/day ordinary UPI. |
| Who / what the limits apply to | Eligible Federal Bank customers using the exact FedNet/FedMobile/UPI/card scheme named by each row. | Eligible AU customers using AU 0101 App/NetBanking, UPI or the named debit-card variant. |
| Product / channel / security-state relationship | Research overlay; the underlying programme/card/account remains authoritative for qualification and fee treatment. | Research overlay; product/account/card eligibility and fee rules remain in their own canonical records. |
These fields come from each product's type-specific structured research, so service comparisons are not reduced to the same six generic rows.

Table region. When the region itself has keyboard focus, use Left and Right arrows to scroll horizontally; Home and End move to the start or end.
| Decision factor | Federal Bank Transaction Limits | AU Small Finance Bank Transaction Limits |
|---|---|---|
| Digital aggregate | FedNet overall daily limits range ₹1 lakh Base Net to ₹1 crore Celesta; FedMobile default mobile limit is ₹10 lakh with premium maximum up to ₹20 lakh. | Retail AU 0101 publishes ₹10 lakh/day for IMPS, NEFT, RTGS, intra-bank, Payment Gateway and Bill Payment; one-time transfers and new-payee first-three-hour state are ₹50,000. |
| UPI | Ordinary UPI maximum ₹1 lakh in a 24-hour cycle with up to 10 P2P transactions/account; verified merchants up to ₹2 lakh and specified IPO/Retail Direct categories up to ₹5 lakh. | After cooling, ordinary UPI is up to ₹1 lakh/day with maximum 20 P2P transactions in 24 hours; Android first 24h and iOS first 72h use lower security limits. |
| Bank transfers | FedNet NEFT/RTGS up to ₹10 lakh is available 24x7 subject to the client's set limit; enhanced amounts use designated working-day windows. FedMobile beneficiary IMPS is constrained by the user's Mobile Banking Limit. | Retail IMPS/NEFT/RTGS each publish ₹10 lakh/day; RTGS retains its ₹2 lakh minimum. NEFT/RTGS have a daily 11:45 PM–12:30 AM unavailability window while IMPS remains usable. |
| Beneficiary cooling | FedNet beneficiary activation can depend on 2FA form factor; FedMobile limit increases have 24-hour cooling up to the ₹10 lakh default and 48-hour cooling above the default with debit-card 2FA. | Newly added payee is limited to ₹50,000 during the first 3 hours; one-time transfer without a saved payee also has a ₹50,000 limit. |
| Debit card | Current Celesta material: ₹1 lakh ATM/₹6 lakh shopping daily; Crown Contactless: ₹50,000 ATM/₹3 lakh shopping with ₹3.5 lakh total. | Current digital limit table distinguishes card variants; reviewed Platinum card is ₹50,000 ATM/₹2 lakh purchase daily, while higher/lower variants have separate maxima. Customers can set lower limits. |
| ATM / cash | Card withdrawal amount is variant-specific; ATM free-usage pricing is separate. Cash Machine note-count limits are machine controls, not card daily limits. | Card daily withdrawal value and ATM free-count pricing are separate. AU 0101 lets customers set ATM/POS/Online/Contactless controls up to the variant maximum. |
| Cash deposit | Federal Savings cash handling is scheme-scoped: five cash transactions or ₹5 lakh/month free under the reviewed tariff, with CDM deposits accepting up to 200 notes per transaction; this is not one universal rupee machine ceiling. | AU aggregates Branch/ATM-CDM/AEPS cash deposits for tariff purposes. One mainstream schedule example uses 5 deposits or ₹2 lakh/month free; no universal machine rupee ceiling is inferred. |
| Effective-date logic | FedNet slab revamp is explicitly effective 10 December 2025; current FedMobile/UPI/card pages reviewed 10 September 2026 are stored separately. | Current AU digital transaction page and support pages reviewed 10 September 2026 control; exact card/account schedules remain variant-scoped. |
| Conflicts / scope cautions | Live Online Tax Payment copy says ₹30,000/day, conflicting with the newer FedNet revamp's ₹3 crore/day tax-payment limit. The newer dated revamp is primary but the older live page remains visible as conflict debt. | No conflict is manufactured between ₹10 lakh digital transfer limits and ₹1 lakh UPI because they are different rails. Variant card limits remain distinct from app transfer ceilings. |
A useful comparison shows what can make either option unsuitable instead of averaging those conditions into a score.
These tools help narrow or inspect the records. They do not replace bank eligibility, live pricing or account-specific controls.
One side's source depth or freshness never fills a gap in the other record.
