National Electronics Fund Transfer, also known as NEFT<\/a>, allows people to transfer funds electronically from one bank account to another. This money transferring system was launched in 2005 and has given way to IMPS<\/a>, UPI, and many other payment solutions that are in use today.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Even with faster payment modes available, NEFT holds its own place in the financial market. It is particularly relevant for companies and individuals who wish to transfer large sums of money. This is because IMPS and UPI come with daily transaction limits that vary from bank to bank.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Thus, it is essential to understand how you can go about transferring funds by using NEFT.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
