In the Statement on Developmental and Regulatory Policies on October 8, 2021, the Reserve Bank of India announced that the transaction limit of Immediate Payment Service (IMPS) to be increased to ₹5 lakh.
“In view of the importance of the IMPS system in the processing of domestic payment transactions, it is proposed to increase the per-transaction limit from ₹2 lakh to ₹5 lakh for channels other than SMS and IVRS”, said RBI.
With effect from January 2014, the per-transaction limit in IMPS has been capped at ₹2 lakh for channels other than SMS and IVRS. The per-transaction limit for SMS and IVRS channels is ₹5000. However, in view of RTGS now operational round the clock, there has been a corresponding increase in settlement cycles of IMPS, thereby reducing the credit and settlement risks, the statement said. Necessary instructions in this regard would be issued separately, it added.
