To make credit card payments through NEFT it is important that you get the IFSC code and the beneficiary details correct. It is a simple and easy way to make payments in place of cheque. In fact, the credit would take place within a few hours and would be reflected quickly.

A cheque payment on the other hand would take 3 days to clear and may not reflect immediately and this may result in delayed payment. Let us cite this with an example.

Let's say your due date for payment is 25th of each month. If you were to make credit card payment on 24th of the month by NEFT it would reflect the same day.

However, if you were to deposit a cheque on 24th it would get credited to your account by 26th. The bank would penalize you for delayed payment and you would end-up paying higher by way of interest and penalties.
