Any beneficiaries approved after these hours are activated the next day after 8:00 am.

"No partial withdrawals are allowed, at present," SBI adds.
The beneficiary gets T+2 days, which means two days from the day of transfer, to withdraw amount.
Failing to do this in the stipulated time results in reversal of the amount transferred.
The charges paid by the remitter, however, are not refunded, according to SBI.5.
