Handy Tips
Working days do not include the bank holidays.
The standard settlement cycle for domestic payments is T+1 working days (where T is the date of transaction capture).
You captured 20 payments on February 02, 2019, at 9:00 a.m., and your settlement schedule is T+1 days. The payments you captured on February 02, 2019, were settled in your bank account on February 03, 2019, at 9:00 a.m. If the settlement day is a bank holiday, the settlement is made on the next working day after the bank holiday.
Razorpay initiates partial settlements when your settleable amount exceeds your current live balance (when the settlement is scheduled). Razorpay accurately calculates the settleable amount based on the live balance, ensuring that settlements are not skipped. When settling transactions, we will only choose the ones that add up to your current live balance.
This ensures that your settlements are timely and regular and you can maintain stable cash flow.
