To move funds into an account held at PORT BLAIR (Central Bank of India) using NEFT, the sender's bank needs this branch's IFSC code — CBIN0283906. NEFT settles in batches throughout the day, so it's a good fit for transfers that don't need to land instantly.

NEFT & RTGS Timing — System Hours vs. Branch Hours

A distinction that matters if you're transferring to PORT BLAIR: the RBI settlement system runs 24x7 for NEFT and RTGS, but that doesn't mean this specific branch is open around the clock. Online transfers process any time; in-person or cash-based requests still depend on the branch actually being open.
