Transactions up to Rs 1,000 can be facilitated by banks without end-to-end encryption.

The disbursal of funds to recipients of such services can be facilitated by banks at ATMs or through business correspondents. In this case the maximum value of such transfers is Rs 5,000 a transaction. Banks are required to place suitable cap on the velocity of such transactions, subject to a maximum value of Rs 25,000 a month, per customer.
