NEFT is an extremely convenient form of making online transactions. It also accommodates transfers to NRE and NRO accounts.
UPI is a payment system that allows you to transfer money between any two parties. As compared to NEFT, RTGS and IMPS, UPI is far more well-defined and standardized across banks.

Currently, there are over 150,000 IFSC Codes operating in India, with more than 1,400 banks all over the country.
