Using IFSC IOBA0003496 for money transfers

To move funds into an account held at MEL BHUVANAGIRI (Indian Overseas Bank) using NEFT, the sender's bank needs this branch's IFSC code — IOBA0003496. 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 MEL BHUVANAGIRI in CUDDALORE, since each transfer is settled individually and immediately rather than bundled with others.

Need money at Indian Overseas Bank, MEL BHUVANAGIRI right now? IMPS settles instantly, 24x7, including weekends and holidays — unlike NEFT/RTGS, which follow banking-hour batch or settlement windows.

NEFT & RTGS Timing — System Hours vs. Branch Hours

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