Starting July 16, 2025, all Central Government payments exceeding Rs.75 crore will be processed via the Reserve Bank of India’s e-Kuber system. The initiative aims to improve transparency, ensure faster reconciliation, and enable real-time tracking of high-value transactions.

Key Points:

• From July 16, all government payments above Rs.75 crore must be routed through RBI’s e-Kuber platform, replacing traditional bank channels for such transactions.
• The system is expected to enhance transparency and accountability by allowing real-time tracking and reconciliation of large payments.
• Faster reconciliation will be ensured within 24 hours, minimizing accounting delays between departments and the Treasury.
• The threshold limit may be further lowered to ?50 crore in the next financial year to extend the benefits more broadly.
• The e-Kuber platform, already used for government securities and fund settlements, will now become the default mechanism for high-value central government payments.
