What's behind this

The Reserve Bank of India’s 2026 domestic money‑transfer directions, issued as a consolidated set of rules, retain the existing cash‑NEFT limit of ₹50,000 and tighten safeguards for cash‑based remittances. Under the new framework, walk‑in customers who do not hold a bank account can use cash pay‑in services to send up to ₹50,000 through banks and authorised channels, allowing them to both send and receive money despite lacking an account.
