NEFT transfers to NATRAJ NAGAR, ARANI, one of Equitas Small Finance Bank's branches in THIRUVANNAMALAI, are batch-processed rather than instant. Most transfers clear within 30 minutes to a couple of hours during banking hours, and NEFT now runs 24x7 on all days including weekends.
RTGS (Real Time Gross Settlement) is built for high-value transfers — ₹2 lakh and above — and settles individually rather than in batches, so money reaches NATRAJ NAGAR, ARANI almost immediately once processed, rather than waiting for the next settlement window.
IMPS is built for urgency: transfers to NATRAJ NAGAR, ARANI clear in seconds rather than minutes or hours, and it works around the clock — useful outside NEFT/RTGS's usual processing windows.
A distinction that matters if you're transferring to NATRAJ NAGAR, ARANI: 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.
| Method | System Hours | If Visiting NATRAJ NAGAR, ARANI In Person |
|---|---|---|
| NEFT | 24x7x365, including weekends and holidays (RBI mandate since 16 Dec 2019) | Online/net-banking NEFT processes any time. An in-branch, cash, or cheque-based NEFT request still depends on that branch's working hours. |
| RTGS | 24x7x365, including weekends and holidays (RBI mandate since 14 Dec 2020) | Minimum transfer amount is ₹2 lakh. Same system-vs-branch-hours distinction as NEFT applies for in-person requests. |
| IMPS | 24x7x365 — always has been, no banking-hours restriction at the system level. | Typically capped per transaction depending on your bank's own limits (often around ₹5 lakh). |
