Under NEFT, the beneficiary gets the money on the same day or next day. Post office customers can send money to post office accounts from other bank using the Internet banking facility. For post office savings bank customers, there will be only one IFSC for all branches/POs. IFSC for POSB customer is IPOS0000DOP. Post offices should affix DoPs IFSC in all the savings, PPF and SSA passbooks in the first page as “IFSC: IPOS0000DOP”.
