India RTGS Inbound Payments: Returns Processing

The Beneficiary bank must return the transaction to the originating bank within one hour of the receipt of the payment or before the end of the RTGS Business day, whichever is earlier, if it is not possible to credit the funds to the beneficiary customer’s account for any valid reasons.

The Return can be initiated for the below reasons:
  • Inward Credit to a NRE account from a Non-NRE account
  • Invalid Beneficiary account
  • Rejection/Cancellation from the Incoming Exception queues (such as Process Exception/Business Override/Repair Queue/Authorization Limit Check/ Sanction Check/Pricing Queue/EAC)

Returns (Cancel action) can be done from any Queue where you can input the Return reason Code and Return Reason.

The Cancel Details screen handles the return of RTGS inbound payments. System generates pacs.004.001.03 for the returns processed.

When an inbound transaction is canceled from the queue, the following accounting entries are posted and the inbound payment transaction gets reversed except for the charges.
