Using IFSC UTKS0001905 for money transfers

NEFT transfers to EKMA, one of Utkarsh Small Finance Bank's branches in SARAN, 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 EKMA almost immediately once processed, rather than waiting for the next settlement window.

IMPS is built for urgency: transfers to EKMA 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 EKMA: 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.

MethodSystem HoursIf Visiting EKMA In Person
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).

Follow these steps to transfer money into an account held at EKMA:

  1. Log in to your bank's net banking portal or mobile banking app.
  2. Add a new beneficiary/payee, entering the recipient's full name and account number.
  3. Enter the IFSC code UTKS0001905 when prompted — this routes the transfer to EKMA specifically.
  4. Most banks require a short cooling-off period (often a few hours) after adding a new beneficiary before the first transfer.
  5. Once the beneficiary is active, choose NEFT, RTGS, or IMPS based on the amount and how quickly you need it to arrive.
  6. Enter the amount, review the details (name, account number, IFSC), and confirm with your OTP/PIN.
