Using IFSC UCBA0001542 for money transfers

To move funds into an account held at KUFRI (UCO Bank) using NEFT, the sender's bank needs this branch's IFSC code — UCBA0001542. 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 KUFRI in SIMLA, since each transfer is settled individually and immediately rather than bundled with others.

Need money at UCO Bank, KUFRI 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 KUFRI: 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.

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).
