Yes, to use IMPS (Immediate Payment Service), you generally need to have an internet banking account with your bank. IMPS is typically accessed through internet banking channels, which require you to have an active online banking account.
Here's the usual process for using IMPS:
1. Register for Internet Banking: To use IMPS, you first need to register for internet banking services with your bank. This usually involves submitting an application, providing the required documents, and completing the registration process as per your bank's guidelines.
