These people will benefit the most
Real time gross settlement would have a huge benefit for immediate fund transfer, even for those who make more than 2 lakh transactions. If you are a merchant and you have to order the goods on cash immediately, then you will not be able to use the RTGS facility due to the night and you cannot withdraw cash from the bank.
