I really need some help with online banking - I think I've gone wrong

Hey, thanks for taking the time to read my dilemma!
This morning I tried to transfer a lot (to me) of money from my Natwest account to my ICICI Hisave account and now I am worrying that I have done something wrong and that I was not actually allowed to do that.
The Natwest account is not my linked account, so I think I have gone wrong and I am very very very worried and getting myself upset about it. What shall I do? and have I actually gone wrong or do you think it will be ok?

If anyone could help me I would be really appreciative,
Tink
(I am posting this in the savings account section too)

    I suspect that linked accounts are for payments out of ICICI, not payments in. Even if I'm wrong, all that will happen is that the money will be returned to NW ... but I doubt this will happen.

    As it happens, I looked at ICICI's set of "frequently asked questions" about twenty minutes ago. They state clearly that funds can be transferred in to ICICI from any account, but can only be transferred out to the linked account.

    So no need to worry.
