NEFT National Electronic Fund Transfer (NEFT) is an interbank/inter-branch online fund transfer within India.
Currently MCA21 payments are allowed via Credit Card, Internet Banking & Physical Challan. The Ministry has authorized 5 banks (Indian Bank, HDFC, ICICI, PNB,UBI and SBI) for collection of MCA21 fees, which means that only the account holders of these banks can avail Internet banking facility.
