My knowledge says.. RTGS means Real Time Gross settlement > As the name suggests it involves quick settlement between the entities attached with them.
EFT stands for Electronic Funds Transfer in which the client places the instruction for tranfer takes time to clear and so is slower than RTGS.

Both are means of electronically transferring funds from one account to another. NEFT - National Electronic Funds Transfer RTGS - Real Time Gross Settlement RTGS transactions are settled in real-time with very small waiting period. The funds transfer takes place within two hours of request. NEFT transactions take place on a batch basis. Customers are given a window between which requests for transfers may be made. At the end of the window period, the transactions are processed.
