Latest underlying reviewSeptember 10, 2026
Federal BankFederal Bank Transfers — NEFT, RTGS & IMPS

Federal Bank customers who want to understand how their own FedNet transaction limit, 2FA choice and beneficiary state affect transfers rather than relying on a generic maximum.

Cost / pricing
Federal Bank's current service-charge schedule lists interbank NEFT/RTGS as free on FedNet and FedMobile, while IMPS uses slab charges of ₹2.50, ₹5, ₹7 and ₹15 by transfer amount. Generic outward NEFT/RTGS charge tables still exist for other service contexts, so channel/account scope is retained.

IndusInd BankIndusInd Bank Transfers — NEFT, RTGS & IMPS

IndusInd customers who use both mobile and Internet Banking and need device-registration cooling, customer-set app limits and rail/channel limits kept separate.

Cost / pricing
Transfer pricing depends on the linked IndusInd account proposition. Current savings schedules can waive NEFT/RTGS and, for some variants, IMPS, so no universal bankwide charge is inferred from one product schedule.

Decision checkpoints

Answer the questions that can actually change the choice.

Each checkpoint reproduces the recorded product fields instead of assigning a winner. Read the condition, scope and missing-data state before treating a difference as useful to you.

01Which transfer rail fits your payment?Read NEFT, RTGS and IMPS separately, with their bank and channel qualifications intact.

Federal Bank Transfers — NEFT, RTGS & IMPS

NEFT
FedNet documents NEFT up to ₹10 lakh as available 24x7 subject to the client's set transaction limit. Enhanced limits beyond ₹10 lakh are available Monday–Friday and eligible Saturdays from 8:45 AM–6:30 PM.
RTGS
RTGS uses the applicable ₹2 lakh system minimum. FedNet documents transfers up to ₹10 lakh 24x7 subject to the client-set limit, with enhanced limits beyond ₹10 lakh during the published working-day window.
IMPS
IMPS is an instant digital rail; the reviewed Federal sources do not provide one clean universal Federal customer maximum, so v1.39 preserves the customer/channel limit model rather than inventing a daily cap.

IndusInd Bank Transfers — NEFT, RTGS & IMPS

NEFT
INDIE supports NEFT within the current ₹10 lakh cumulative daily mobile fund-transfer limit. The reviewed mobile page says method-specific limits can vary; v1.39 does not invent a separate NEFT ceiling where current first-party evidence is not explicit.
RTGS
Minimum ₹2 lakh. IndusNet publishes ₹10 lakh for individual customers and ₹25 lakh for non-individual customers; IndusDirect standard permitted cumulative/per-transaction limit is ₹25 lakh. INDIE remains subject to its separate mobile cumulative limit.
IMPS
INDIE supports instant IMPS within the app's cumulative daily transfer control and applicable IMPS rail limit. The current mobile page says method-specific limits can vary rather than publishing one stable universal bank maximum.
02Is the beneficiary ready for the required amount?Check beneficiary activation and temporary cooling conditions before relying on a transfer ceiling.

Federal Bank Transfers — NEFT, RTGS & IMPS

Beneficiary controls
Newly added FedNet beneficiaries are activated instantly for most 2FA arrangements, but customers who selected SMS OTP as 2FA have a 24-hour beneficiary activation wait.
Security cooling
Beneficiary cooling is authentication-form-factor dependent, not a universal Federal number. FedNet also allows customer transaction limits to be changed through its limit-management service.

IndusInd Bank Transfers — NEFT, RTGS & IMPS

Beneficiary controls
IndusMobile FAQ permits up to 5 beneficiary additions/day for Current Accounts and 3/day for Savings Accounts across IndusNet/IndusMobile. The reviewed retail sources do not establish one universal new-beneficiary cooling duration.
Security cooling
Current INDIE: first registration/device re-registration sets ₹2 lakh for 24h; limit increase uses OTP + 4h cooling with old limit active. Separate IndusMobile FAQ instead states ₹10,000 for 24h after new-user/device/phone registration; conflict retained.
03What charges and failure handling apply?Keep channel charges and the recorded reversal or recovery route attached to the transfer.

Federal Bank Transfers — NEFT, RTGS & IMPS

Charges
Current 1 June 2025 schedule: FedNet/FedMobile interbank NEFT/RTGS free; IMPS ₹2.50 up to ₹1,000, ₹5 above ₹1,000–₹25,000, ₹7 above ₹25,000–₹1 lakh and ₹15 above ₹1 lakh. Other transaction contexts can have their own tariffs.
Failure / reversal
FedNet lets customers track Pending Payments and Payments Made. Its RTGS FAQ states that where the beneficiary bank cannot credit the account, the beneficiary bank returns the funds to the remitting bank within two hours.

IndusInd Bank Transfers — NEFT, RTGS & IMPS

Charges
Account-specific. Reviewed Indus Online Savings schedules state no charge on NEFT/RTGS across channels for those variants and show product-level fee treatment; other account propositions can differ.
Failure / reversal
IndusMobile says transfer failure can result from beneficiary details or receiving-bank availability; its terms state rejected payments are processed for re-credit within five working days. Check status/support before retrying.

Rail / beneficiary relationshipThe usable transfer amount depends on the client's set transaction limit, rail rules, beneficiary activation state and account/channel. The bank's ₹10 lakh 24x7 NEFT/RTGS threshold is an availability threshold, not a universal customer daily cap.Mobile cumulative limits, rail-specific rules and Internet/corporate ceilings must be matched to the actual channel. A ₹25 lakh corporate RTGS limit is not a retail app limit.

Wrong-fit risks

Keep each product’s cautions beside the product.

A useful comparison shows what can make either option unsuitable instead of averaging those conditions into a score.

Federal Bank

Federal Bank Transfers — NEFT, RTGS & IMPS

  • Beneficiary activation depends on the chosen 2FA form factor: newly added beneficiaries are normally activated instantly, but Federal says customers using SMS OTP as 2FA wait 24 hours.
  • FedNet's FAQ states NEFT/RTGS above ₹10 lakh use enhanced-limit windows on working days, while transfers up to ₹10 lakh are available 24x7 subject to the client's limit.
  • Current FedNet/FedMobile NEFT/RTGS fee waivers and IMPS slab charges must not be confused with generic outward/branch service-charge tables or product-specific waivers.
IndusInd Bank

IndusInd Bank Transfers — NEFT, RTGS & IMPS

  • IndusInd has a live first-party conflict for the first 24 hours after initial app registration or device/number change: the current INDIE page says ₹2 lakh, while the IndusMobile FAQ says ₹10,000. v1.39 exposes both instead of choosing one silently.
  • Increasing the current INDIE app transfer limit requires OTP and a four-hour cooling period during which the old limit continues to apply; reducing the limit has no such wait.
  • IndusInd's account-specific fee schedules can waive transfers, but those waivers are not generalized to every account class.
