March 31: Nepal Rastra Bank has extended the time period for the operation of Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) system due to the increase in transactions through the system.

According to the notice, transactions can be done from 9 am to 5 pm from Sunday to Thursday from January 30 to November 1. The system will be operational from 9 am to 4 pm from November 2 to January 29. On Fridays, transactions can be done from 9 am to 1:30 pm. 

Currently, RTGS system can be used to transact more than Rs 200,000 electronically. Currently, banks and financial institutions are using RTGS for most of the electronic payments.

According to the central bank, Rs 3.13 trillion was transacted through RTGS in January 2022 alone. A total of Rs 57.64 billion was transacted through this system in the previous year.
