NACH full form and meaning

NACH stands for National Automated Clearing House, an RBI and NPCI-operated electronic system used for automated, recurring bank-to-bank payments, such as EMI deductions, SIP investments, or standing instructions to auto-pay a credit card bill. It replaced the older ECS (Electronic Clearing Service) system and is the mechanism most Indian banks now use whenever you set up an auto-debit mandate.
