RBI guidelines for e-mandates
Right now, there’s a rule that says electronic mandates (e-mandates) can be used for transactions up to Rs 15,000 without extra verification. A lot of people, around 8.5 crore, have signed up for these e-mandates, and they’re handling transactions totaling nearly Rs 2,800 crore every month. Although the system is working well, there’s a suggestion from the RBI to increase the limit, especially for things like subscribing to mutual funds, paying insurance premiums, and settling credit card bills. This is because in these categories, the transactions are often more than Rs 15,000, and not many people are using this method. The RBI believes that raising the limit could encourage more people to use e-mandates in these areas.

Key Points in RBI Meeting
To help banks manage their funds better, the RBI has decided that starting from December 30, 2023, banks can now get back the money they deposited or repay the money they borrowed from the RBI, even on weekends and holidays. This applies to two facilities called the Standing Deposit Facility (SDF) and the Marginal Standing Facility (MSF).
The Standing Deposit Facility (SDF) was introduced in 2018, and it’s a way for banks to manage extra money without having to give anything as security. The Marginal Standing Facility (MSF) is like a backup plan for banks – they can borrow money from the RBI in emergencies when there’s not enough money flowing between banks. Currently, banks can use these facilities from 5:30 pm to 11:59 pm every day, including weekends and holidays. But if they want to take back the money they deposited or repay the money they borrowed during the weekends and holidays, they have to wait until the next working day in Mumbai. Now, with the new announcement, they can do these transactions even on weekends and holidays.
