Step-by-step process of how NACH works-
  • The corporate (or money-collecting agency) collects the NACH mandate form from customers. With the mandate form, the customer gives the corporate the authority to debit his account for a certain period and at a certain frequency.
  • The corporate verifies the details provided by the customer in the mandate form.
  • After verification of details, the corporate forwards the NACH mandate to its bank.
  • The corporate’s bank then shares the NACH mandate with the NPCI.
  • Once the information is validated, the NPCI forwards the mandate to the customer’s bank for approval. Only fully validated transactions are forwarded to the customer’s bank for debiting.
  • Once approved by the customer’s bank, the corporate is authorised to collect funds from the customer’s account.
