NEFT (National Electronic Funds Transfer) lets you send money to any account at Punjab National Bank's MCB AHMEDABAD 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 Punjab National Bank, MCB AHMEDABAD, 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 MCB AHMEDABAD 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.
NEFT & RTGS Timing — System Hours vs. Branch Hours
A distinction that matters if you're transferring to MCB AHMEDABAD: 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.
