IMPS error YD: Do not honour (beneficiary)
Source: Axis Bank, IMPS Response Codes for H2H/API. These are IMPS response codes as one bank publishes them; other banks use the same codes but may word them differently.
What it means
The receiver's bank declined with 'do not honour', a general refusal that gives no reason.
Not fully documented: 'Do not honour' doesn't name a reason.
Possibly. In IMPS your bank debits you and then sends the transfer on, so a failure on the receiver's side can leave a debit that has to be reversed.
If you were debited, the reversal is automatic and due by the next working day (T+1). After that the bank owes you ₹100 a day.
Receiver's bank.
Reinitiate with same CRN
What you should do
Ask the receiver to check with their bank, or send to another account. If you were debited, the money comes back.
If you run payouts or a bank integration
Retry with the same CRN, per Axis Bank's guidance, only after checking with the beneficiary.

IMPS in brief
IMPS moves money between banks instantly, at any hour, on any day. Transfers go either by account number and IFSC, or by mobile number and MMID. The network limit is ₹5 lakh per transaction, though your bank can set a lower one, which is why codes like 04 and 22 exist.
Checking what happened
Open the transaction in your bank app or net banking and note its RRN, the 12-digit reference number also sent by SMS. The receiver's bank can trace the transfer with it, and you'll need it for any complaint. If the status says pending or deemed approved, wait for the final status before sending the money again.
If it still isn't sorted
- Raise a complaint inside your banking app. Quote the RRN from your statement or SMS.
- If the app doesn't resolve it, contact your bank's grievance desk with the same reference.
- If your bank hasn't replied within 30 days, or you're not happy with the reply, complain to the RBI Ombudsman at cms.rbi.org.in. It's free.
