What is MMID in Axis Bank? 

Festive occasion or a medical emergency, your family and extended family need funds and need them urgently.However, they don't have access to netbanking. Is there a way I could make the electronic fund transfer through my mobile phone? Can they receive the funds quickly and safely?
Vyola! Technology is indeed transformational and disruptive and has revolutionised India's digital banking sector, making fund transfers accessible to everyone in every corner of the country by using mobile phones as the medium.
You can now make instant 24*7 interbank electronic fund transfer to individuals and enterprises anywhere using your mobile phone throughout the year including Sundays and bank holidays
This is where the concept of MMID, Mobile Money Identifier comes in.
In simple terms, MMID is a seven digit code which is typically a combination of your mobile number and bank account number which allows for interbank transfers via the mobile banking platform.
Customers can transfer and receive funds via Immediate Payment Services (IMPS) using their registered Mobile number and Mobile Money Identifier (MMID).
Introduced by the Government of India in 2010, MMID was a step up to the two commonly used transfer methods – the Real Time Gross Settlement or RTGS fund transfers and the National Electronic Fund Transfer or NEFT service.
Unlike RTGS and NEFT Services which require net banking facilities to function, with MMID, one could transfer funds to the beneficiary's account electronically using a mobile phone.
As long as you have a phone number linked to your bank account, you can receive fund transfers via MMID. All you need is the mobile number, account number and the IFSC details of the payee.

So how does one go about generating and using the MMID fund transfer method?

  • Firstly, you need to approach your bank, say for example, Axis Bank and apply for mobile banking services.
  • Secondly, you need to register your mobile number with Axis Bank.
  • You can visit your bank and submit an application form to activate this service.
  • Once RMN ( registered mobile number) is done, the bank will issue a seven digit unique MMID code that you can use to initiate instant fund transfers.
    In addition to visiting your Axis Bank branch, you can also generate the MMID code through other mediums such as :
  • Welcome kit that you receive once you have registered for mobile banking.
  • Through phone banking using customer care service. The bank representative will help you in generating the MMID code which will be sent to your registered mobile number within 24 hours.
  • You can also generate MMID code through netbanking by logging in with your customer id and password ( IPVN).
  • Lastly, the MMID code can also be generated through mobile banking applications under the IMPS fund transfer option.
  • It is important to remember that this unique seven digit MMID code can be linked to a single bank account only.
  • For multiple bank accounts, multiple MMID codes would be issued and you can then link all the MMID numbers to one mobile phone number.
  • Besides, the sender and the beneficiary should have an MMID to transfer funds through this facility.

Reserve Bank of India - RBI Holidays -2022

Remember ! your good old school calendar in which our favourite page was the list of holidays chalked out at the beginning of each academic year. Just knowing this piece of information meant so much to us. Similarly, within the banking sector, the Reserve Bank of India ( RBI) is the apex body which publishes a detailed list of bank holidays, national and state-wise at the beginning of each calendar year. The RBI, India’s Central bank, also called as the banker’s bank key responsibility is to regulate and supervise the monetary and other banking policies of the financial sector which comprises financial institutions, commercial banks, non-banking financial companies. As an extension to its core responsibilities, the RBI publishes a list of holidays at the beginning of each calendar year. As per the holiday list, whether it is national specific or regional specific, banks would not be operational on those dates. Say for example: Republic Day, Independence Day, and Gandhi Jayanti are the only three National holidays; all other holidays are state-specific. For example: Banks remained closed on September 7-8, 2022 in Kerala for the Onam and Thiruvonam respectively. There will be a bank holiday on September 26, 2022 in Jaipur and Imphal for Navratri Sthapna. This comprehensive list of holidays is in addition to weekend Sunday holidays as well as alternate second and fourth Saturdays holidays during which all Banks across India remain closed. Consequently, the Banks across India would remain open on the 1st, 3rd and 5th Saturdays of every month (as per the notification of the RBI dated 28th August, 2015). The main purpose of declaring this comprehensive holiday list ( details given in Annexure) in advance at the beginning of each calendar year is to make you aware of the impending holidays so that you can plan your banking transactions accordingly with minimal stress. Consequently, it is mandatory for every bank across the Central / State Governments / Union Territories to follow the guidelines issued by RBI. Just to delve a bit deeper, this comprehensive list of holidays published by RBI is categorised as: - State-wise celebrations - Religious holiday - Festival celebrations and the basis of these holidays is governed by: - Holiday under Negotiable Instruments Act Real Time Gross Settlement Holiday - Banks’ Closing of Account The RBI holiday list is applicable to traditional banking transactions. As an netbanking and mobile banking customer, you can access your account 247365. You can also transact through NEFT payment service which is also available for 24×7365 (including bank holidays). However, in case of RTGS ( Real Time Gross Settlement) payment process, the 2nd and 4th Saturdays and all Sundays in a month are RTGS Holidays for every bank in India as per RBI guidelines. Besides, there is a list of additional RTGS holidays 20222 (apart from the already given holidays on 2nd & 4th Saturdays and every Sunday).
