What information is required to use the e-monies NEFT service?
To use this service, you should provide the beneficiary details (name and account number), and the name and IFSC of the beneficiary bank branch.
Your funds will be returned to your account if they are not credited.
Can I use e-Monies NEFT for foreign remittances?
This is a service designed only for remitting Indian Rupees within India.
What is IFSC? How is it different from the MICR code?
IFSC stands for ‘Indian Financial System Code’. It is an 11 digit, alpha numeric code designed to identify bank branches in India. The MICR code uses 9 digits to identify bank branches.
What are the charges for the e-monies National Electronic Funds Transfer service?
NEFT transactions on NetBanking are charged as below:
Upto Rs 1,00,000: Rs 2 + Applicable GST
Above Rs 1,00,000: Rs 10 + Applicable GST
How does the e-monies NEFT service differ from RGTS and EFT?
E-Monies NEFT is an electronic payment system, used to transfer funds to any part of India. It works on ‘net settlement’, unlike RTGS that works on ‘gross settlement’, and EFT which is restricted to only 15 centres.
Is the e-Monies NEFT system better than the existing RBI-EFT system?
E-Monies NEFT has no restrictions, because it’s based on a centralized network. That’s not the case for the RBI-EFT system, which is confined to just 15 centres.
How do I check the IFSC of the receiving branch?
Just ask your beneficiary to get the IFSC from his or her branch. They can also find it in their cheque book - the IFSC is in the cheque leaf.
What information do I need to provide when using the RTGS funds transfer service?
When using RTGS Funds Transfers, there are a few essential details to provide:
- Amount to be remitted
- Account number from where the funds will be debited
- Name of the beneficiary bank, and the name of the beneficiary customer
- Account number of the beneficiary customer
- Sender to receiver information, if there is one
- The IFSC code of the receiving branch
If the money is not credited successfully, will the remitting customer get the funds back?
With RTGS, the receiving bank should credit the account of the beneficiary instantly. If for some reason the money cannot be credited, the receiving bank has to return the money to the remitting bank within 1 hour. As soon as the money is returned, the original debit entry in the customer's account is reversed.
How long does it take for funds to be transferred from one account to another?
Real-time means that beneficiary branches are expected to receive the funds as soon as they are transferred by the remitting bank. The beneficiary bank must credit the beneficiary's account within 30 minutes of receiving the funds transfer message.
Are there minimum or maximum limits for RTGS transfers?
The RTGS system has been designed for large value transactions.
The minimum amount to be remitted through RTGS is Rs. 2 Lakhs. There is no upper ceiling for RTGS transactions.
The only change to this is RTGS transactions done through NetBanking, when the maximum amount of funds that can be transferred per Customer ID per day is Rs. 10 Lakhs.
How is RTGS different from National Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT)?
NEFT is an electronic fund transfer system that operates on a deferred net settlement (DNS) basis, which settles transactions in batches.
In DNS, the settlement takes place at a definite time and all transactions are held up till that instant. Any transaction initiated after a designated settlement time will have to wait till the next designated settlement time. RTGS is different because transactions are processed continuously.
What is RTGS Funds Transfer?
'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.
What are the charges for the RTGS funds transfer service?
Effective 15 November, 2010; RTGS transactions on NetBanking are charged as below :
- Rs. 2 lac to Rs. 5 lac - Rs. 25 (inclusive of taxes) per transaction
- Above Rs. 5 lac - Rs. 50 (inclusive of taxes) per transaction
Note: RTGS transfers can be done for amounts exceeding Rs. 2,00,000 only whereas for NEFT there are no such amount restrictions.

I have spent more than Rs. 5000 on Petrol/Diesel/CNG in a calendar month. However, why I received only 150 FP. Why?
Please Note that there is a monthly capping on Fuel Points accrued on the below mentioned spends.
Spends at IndianOil Outlets –
- Monthly Max cap post 6 months: 150 FP
- Monthly Max cap for the first 6 months from card issuance: 250 FPSpends on Groceries – Monthly Max cap: 100 FP
Spends on Utilities and Bill Payments – Monthly Max cap: 100 FP
I bought items from Amazon which along included vegetable oil as well. Why didn’t I get 5% FP on this transaction?
Eligibility for Fuel Points on transaction is basis the Merchant Category Code (MCC) captured for the transaction. Only those MCCs recognized and considered by Partner Networks (Visa/RuPay) for the above mentioned categories will accrue 5% Fuel Points (FP). If your transaction didn’t accrue any FP, it is because it is not recognized as Fuel/Groceries/Utilities/Bill Payment as per standard Merchant Category Code
What is IndianOil XTRAREWARDSTM PROGRAM that is mentioned in the Product Features?
IndianOil XTRAREWARDSTM PROGRAM is an exclusive Loyalty Rewards Program owned and run by Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. This Loyalty program rewards the customers enrolled with them by awarding XTRAREWARDTM Points (XRP) on every transaction at any IndianOil Retail Outlet and also allowing the Customer to redeem these accrued Points at participating IndianOil Retail Outlet for free fuel.
For more details on this program, visit, https://www.xtrarewards.com
IndianOil HDFC Bank Credit Cardholders will get this Membership automatically and for free along with their credit cards. Your Membership will stay valid even after close of this Card or upgrade/migration to another HDFC Bank Credit Card. However, you will no longer be able to convert Fuel Points to XTRAREWARD Points for Fuel Redemption.
Should I register for XTRAREWARDSTM Program? If so, how to I enroll myself for it?
- IndianOil HDFC Bank Credit Cardholders are automatically and mandatorily registered with IndianOil XTRAREWARDSTM Program during the time of Credit Card issuance.
- Once the Customer is automatically registered, you will receive an SMS on your registered mobile number from IndianOil, with the confirmation of your XTRAREWARDSTM Program account successfully been created along with an XTRAREWARDSTM Customer ID (XR CID).
- In case you haven’t received the confirmation SMS within 5 business days of receiving your Credit Card, please connect with the Bank for resolution.
Post creation of your XR CID, you could also install “IndianOil ONE” App from Android Play Store or IOS App store (Not mandatory) to help keep track of your XRP Balance and Transactions
Note: XR CID is created by Indian Oil for the purpose of redeeming points against free fuel. This is different from the Customer ID maintained with the Bank.
What If I wish to cancel my membership with IndianOil XTRAREWARDS Program?
Having Customer ID with XTRAREWARDS Program is necessary since without this membership, you cannot convert Fuel Points accrued on your credit card into XTRAREWARDTM POINTS and use them at IndianOil Fuel Outlets for free fuel redemption. Also, having this XR CID is critical to receive information or any status update on your XTRAREWARDSTM Program account with IndianOil.
I already have an existing XTRAREWARDS Program Customer ID. Can I still apply for an IndianOil HDFC Bank Credit Card?
Yes. You can still apply for an IndianOil HDFC Bank Credit Card. In this case, instead of creating a new XR CID, your existing XR CID will be merged with this program and you can start converting Fuel Points into XRP and use XRP to redeem free fuel at participating IndianOil Fuel Outlets.
NOTE:
Make sure that your Mobile Number registered with the Bank is the same as the mobile number registered with IndianOil XTRAREWARDSTM Program
