In a bank account, SI stands for Standing Instruction. It is a service where an account holder instructs the bank to automatically transfer a fixed amount of money at regular intervals to another account. This feature is commonly used for recurring payments such as:
- Monthly house rent or society maintenance
- Insurance premium payments
- Regular transfers to a Savings Account or Recurring Deposit (RD)
- Repayment of loan EMIs
SIs ensure timely payments without manual intervention, helping users avoid late fees and manage their finances efficiently.
