How to transfer money to different bank INSTANTLY via Netbanking

Eager to make interbank money transfer to your distant relative or business partner/associate during non-working hours or on Sunday via netbanking neft facility, but you find out that you can not, unfortunately! What to do in case of urgency? How to make immediate funds transfer urgently to a different bank via netbanking? Intrabank money transfer i.e. to same bank (sbi to sbi or icici to icici) is usually done instantly.
