NEFT & RTGS Timing — System Hours vs. Branch Hours

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