Using IFSC IOBA0001488 for money transfers

To move funds into an account held at PUTHENCAVU (Indian Overseas Bank) using NEFT, the sender's bank needs this branch's IFSC code — IOBA0001488. NEFT settles in batches throughout the day, so it's a good fit for transfers that don't need to land instantly.

RTGS is the go-to option when transferring large sums (₹2 lakh+) to PUTHENCAVU in ALAPUZHA, since each transfer is settled individually and immediately rather than bundled with others.

NEFT & RTGS Timing — System Hours vs. Branch Hours

A distinction that matters if you're transferring to PUTHENCAVU: 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.
