Using IFSC SBIN0064359 for money transfers

To move funds into an account held at LACHEN (State Bank of India) using NEFT, the sender's bank needs this branch's IFSC code — SBIN0064359. 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 LACHEN in LACHEN BAZAAR, since each transfer is settled individually and immediately rather than bundled with others.

Need money at State Bank of India, LACHEN 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 LACHEN: 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.

NEFT24x7x365, including weekends and holidays (RBI mandate since 16 Dec 2019)Online/net-banking NEFT processes any time. An in-branch, cash, or cheque-based NEFT request still depends on that branch's working hours.
RTGS24x7x365, including weekends and holidays (RBI mandate since 14 Dec 2020)Minimum transfer amount is ₹2 lakh. Same system-vs-branch-hours distinction as NEFT applies for in-person requests.
IMPS24x7x365 — always has been, no banking-hours restriction at the system level.Typically capped per transaction depending on your bank's own limits (often around ₹5 lakh).
