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 PUNB0106520:

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

How UPI relates to the IFSC code
