Cheque Truncation System in India – Northern Grid

1 Comment

After the success of CTS-Western Grid and CTS-South-Eastern Grid, NPCI will roll-out the Northern Grid. New Delhi will be the CH Centre for India’s youngest CTS Grid.

The exact composition of CTS-Northern Grid will be known in the coming months. Initially, the plan was to have only 2 Pan-India CTS Grids with New Delhi being a stand-alone model. However, with the cheque volumes only going up, and complexities involved in running 2 Grids for the whole country, the CTS-Northern Grid was conceptualized.

NPCI by default was the chosen agency for implementation of CTS-Northern Grid.

Common Disaster Recovery (DR) site for CTS for all the 3 Grids will be in Hyderabad.

Bhopal welcomes Cheque Truncation System (CTS)

1 Comment

After Mumbai, Bhopal became the second centre in the western region to be introduced to a new way of banking. On Wednesday, new cheque truncation system (CTS-2010) went ‘live’ in the city, thus eliminating the need for physical movement of cheques for clearing.

Out of 54 major Banks in Bhopal, 14 Banks were ‘live’, on Day 1. The remaining 40 banks are expected to be live by Dec 13 end.

The major challenge would be for 8 Cooperative Banks in India, which do not have infrastructure and volumes to be direct CTS Members. They can opt for the Sub-membership route to join the CTS bandwagon.

The most interesting part of Bhopal’s history is the rule by a large line of Begums.

CTS Grids in India – Uniting the Country

The CTS (Cheque Truncation System) Grid in India is playing an important role in uniting the country. In the long run, NPCI envisages that all of India, will be connected to any one of 3 clearing Grid i.e West (Mumbai), South (Chennai), North (New Delhi) with the DR site being in Hyderabad.

Readers might be surprised to know that Punjab too will be connected to the Southern Grid and not to the Northern Grid.

The position of CTS migration at various locations under South CTS Grid is as under. As on date, 100% migration has been achieved only in Chennai, with Bangalore, Hyderabad and Coimbatore closely behind.

Mumbai CTS Grid live

1 Comment


ctssamplecheque

 

On 13th July, 2012, at a meeting conducted by NPCI Brihan-Mumbai Bankers’ Clearing House (BBCH), it was decided to operationalise the Western CTS Grid latest by 30th June, 2013.

Towards this end, on 27/04/2013, the Mumbai CTS went live.  8 BBCH (Brihan-Mumbai Bankers’ Clearing House) member banks are part of the Pilot run. More and more banks are joining the grid every week.

When fully operational, Mumbai CTS grid will cover 20 MICR centres of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Goa. This would encompass almost 50% of pan-India inter-bank cheque clearing.

A large number of cooperative banks are present in Maharashtra and Gujarat, and there would be a major challenge to migrate these banks to CTS Clearing. However, the respective participants experience in other parts of India would be immensely beneficial in the CTS rollout.

The following is the list of 20 MICR centres which would eventually be part of the Western CTS Grid.
