Using IFSC UBIN0538051 for money transfers

NEFT (National Electronic Funds Transfer) lets you send money to any account at Union Bank of India's SILIGURI 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 Union Bank of India, SILIGURI, 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 SILIGURI 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 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.

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.
