Eligible account / channelRequires an eligible Canara account/channel and sufficient balance. Mobile Banking's cumulative limit is a channel control and does not change the account's own balance/transaction restrictions.

Rail / channel limitsCanara ai1 publishes ₹15 lakh total daily fund transfers, split as up to ₹7.5 lakh/day interbank and ₹7.5 lakh/day intrabank. Direct Pay without beneficiary is ₹25,000/day. IMPS additionally remains subject to the NPCI ₹5 lakh per-transaction ceiling; RTGS has the RBI ₹2 lakh minimum.

Transfer / channel chargesCanara's current non-credit schedule lists online NEFT free for savings-bank customers; RTGS outward ₹24.50 for ₹2–5 lakh and ₹49.50 above ₹5 lakh + GST; IMPS Internet/Mobile ranges from nil below ₹1,000 to ₹20 for ₹2–5 lakh + GST, with stated exemptions for staff, Jan Dhan, BSBD and other financial-inclusion accounts.

Rail / beneficiary relationshipThe ₹7.5 lakh ai1 interbank daily cap is a mobile-channel ceiling, not an RBI rail maximum. Branch RTGS/NEFT can follow different amount capacity and charges.

Critical decision facts

Channel scope and security state determine what the published limit really means.

Rail, channel, beneficiary, cooling, authentication and recovery rules stay separate instead of being compressed into one generic digital-banking number.

Exact product-type evidence

Bank transfer service evidence stays in its own structure.

Specialist fields below remain source-scoped. Missing values stay missing; one banking product type is never used to manufacture facts for another.

Bank-transfer rail map

NEFT, RTGS and IMPS share a beneficiary journey, not one universal limit.

System mechanics are kept separate from bank, channel, account, beneficiary and temporary security limits. Reviewed September 10, 2026.

Channels / scopeCanara ai1 Mobile Banking, Internet Banking and branch. The detailed cooling/₹7.5 lakh interbank figures in this profile are explicitly mobile-channel rules.

AuthenticationCanara ai1 beneficiary transfer uses MPIN plus OTP for IMPS/NEFT/RTGS (UPI uses UPI PIN and is modeled separately).

NEFTRBI NEFT has no system floor/ceiling and settles 24x7 in 48 half-hourly batches. Canara ai1 applies the mobile interbank daily ceiling up to ₹7.5 lakh; savings-bank online NEFT is nil-charge under the current service schedule.

RTGSRBI minimum ₹2 lakh, 24x7 real-time and no RBI upper ceiling. Canara ai1's mobile interbank daily cap can still constrain the transfer; the current Canara schedule lists outward RTGS ₹24.50/₹49.50 + GST by slab.

IMPSInstant 24x7 with NPCI ₹5 lakh per-transaction ceiling. Canara ai1 remains subject to the ₹7.5 lakh/day mobile interbank aggregate; Direct Pay without beneficiary is separately ₹25,000/day.

Beneficiary controlsNew Canara ai1 beneficiary: no transfer for first 1 hour; after 1 hour and up to 12 hours, up to ₹50,000; after 12 hours, full permitted daily limit. Night-time additions use the bank's 6 AM timing rule.

Cooling / first-use stateNew Mobile Banking registration: first 24h cumulative ₹15,000, split ₹5,000 Quick Pay + ₹10,000 to a new beneficiary after one hour. Standing instruction to a newly added beneficiary is enabled after 24h.

Charges / waiver scopeCurrent schedule: online NEFT nil for SB customers; RTGS outward ₹24.50 (₹2–5L) / ₹49.50 (>₹5L) + GST; IMPS Internet/Mobile below ₹1k nil, then ₹3/₹5/₹8/₹15/₹20 + GST by slab up to ₹5L, with stated exempt account classes.

Availability / settlementOnline NEFT and RTGS are published as 24x7; IMPS is instant 24x7. Branch NEFT/RTGS follows branch business hours.

Failure / return / reversalCanara's RTGS/NEFT FAQ provides return/escalation routes for non-credit/delay. Pending/failed IMPS should be handled through the bank's transaction-status/support process rather than retried blindly.

Maintained terms

Fees, balances, benefits, limits and eligibility without a single-score shortcut.

These six fields are the cross-product layer. The specialist section above controls whenever a type-specific field is more precise.

NEFT / RTGS / IMPS coverageCanara ai1 supports beneficiary and beneficiary-free interbank transfers using IMPS, NEFT and RTGS, while branch and Internet Banking retain their own service/charge framework.

Transfer access / eligibilityEligible Canara Bank customers registered for Mobile/Internet Banking, subject to account, transaction-right and channel rules.

Rail / beneficiary relationshipThe ₹7.5 lakh ai1 interbank daily cap is a mobile-channel ceiling, not an RBI rail maximum. Branch RTGS/NEFT can follow different amount capacity and charges.

Fit & cautions

Who this record appears designed for—and what can break the fit.

Best-fit wording summarizes the published proposition. It is not individualized financial advice or an approval prediction.

Potential fit

Canara customers who use ai1 and want the app's ₹7.5 lakh interbank daily ceiling, first-hour beneficiary block and current transfer charges kept separate from RBI/NPCI system limits.

Verify before relying

During the first 24 hours after registering for Canara Mobile Banking, total financial transactions are capped at ₹15,000: ₹5,000 via Quick Pay plus ₹10,000 to a newly added beneficiary after the first hour.
A new beneficiary cannot receive a transfer during the first hour; from 1–12 hours the cap is ₹50,000, and after 12 hours the full permitted mobile-banking limit applies. Standing instructions can be enabled only after 24 hours.
Canara's published RTGS/NEFT charges are not the same as its savings-bank online NEFT waiver or IMPS slab tariff, so the three rails are not combined into one 'transfer charge'.
