NEFT services in India offer multiple methods to transfer funds, including net banking, mobile banking, and in-person visits to bank branches. NEFT operates during a branch’s business hours, excluding Sundays and bank holidays. Transactions initiated after the cut-off times are processed on the next working day but are debited immediately. RBI has improved processing time by introducing additional batches every 30 minutes, reducing the settlement time from 1-2 hours. To use NEFT, both the sender’s and recipient’s banks must be NEFT-enabled, meaning they are part of the RBI’s transfer network. Here are the NEFT cut-off times for some major Indian banks.
