Comparing NEFT, RTGS and IMPS for transfers to Bhangala

The right transfer rail depends on how urgent the payment is, how large it is, and whether the receiving bank participates in the chosen scheme. Every option below works with the IFSC HDFC0003171:

• NEFT — best for everyday transfers of any amount; settles in half-hourly batches around the clock.
