If I want to transfer a binary file "binary.bin" (located in the same directory as NetCat) to IP address 127.0.0.1 port 1200 using TCP, how do I specify this using NetCat for windows?

I found the solution. Its

nc 127.0.0.1 1200 < binary.bin

In addition, if the response needs to be saved then 

nc 127.0.0.1 1200 < binary.bin > response.bin
