NEFT (National Electronic Funds Transfer) lets you send money to any account at Federal Bank's INTERNATIONAL BANKING DEPARTMENT branch from any other bank in India. Transfers are processed in half-hourly batches, so funds usually reach the recipient within a couple of hours, and there's no minimum or maximum amount restriction from RBI's side.
For amounts of ₹2 lakh or more sent to an account at Federal Bank, INTERNATIONAL BANKING DEPARTMENT, RTGS is usually the better choice over NEFT — each transaction settles on its own in real time instead of waiting in a batch.
IMPS (Immediate Payment Service) is the fastest of the three — funds move to INTERNATIONAL BANKING DEPARTMENT within seconds, any time of day including bank holidays. It's typically capped at ₹5 lakh per transaction depending on your bank's own limits.
A distinction that matters if you're transferring to INTERNATIONAL BANKING DEPARTMENT: 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 INTERNATIONAL BANKING DEPARTMENT 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). |
