Using IFSC PUNB0418200 for money transfers

NEFT transfers to MALDEHIYA VARANASI, one of Punjab National Bank's branches in VARANASI, 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 MALDEHIYA VARANASI almost immediately once processed, rather than waiting for the next settlement window.

IMPS is built for urgency: transfers to MALDEHIYA VARANASI clear in seconds rather than minutes or hours, and it works around the clock — useful outside NEFT/RTGS's usual processing windows.

NEFT & RTGS Timing — System Hours vs. Branch Hours

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