That EFT is an electronic fund transfer modes that operate on a deferred net settlement (DNS) basis which settles transactions in batches? In DNS, the settlement takes place at a particular point of time. All transactions are held up till that time. For example, EFT settlement takes place once a day.

Any transaction initiated after a designated settlement time would have to wait till the next designated settlement time. Contrary to this, in RTGS, transactions are processed continuously throughout the RTGS business hours.
