In a bid to make big-ticket fund transfer easier, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Friday enhanced the limit the Immediate Payment Service (IMPS). From now on, bank customers can transfer Rs 5 lakh via IMPS. Earlier the limit for IMPS transfer was restricted at Rs 2 lakh, other than SMS and IVRS. “Immediate Payment Service (IMPS) offers instant domestic funds transfer facility 24×7 through various channels. In view of the importance of the IMPS system and for enhanced consumer convenience, it is proposed to increase the per-transaction limit from ₹2 lakh to ₹5 lakh," RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das said while announcing the measure.

Very good move. People need to be careful while transferring higher amounts on IMPS though, as the failure rate is on the higher side. NEFT has better success rate.

RTGS is also instant and prone to failures. For transferring higher amounts, I always prefer NEFT, and with the recent increase in limits, it's even better. RTGS can be used when the amount is more than the NEFT limit.
