HTML meta tag redirect is called Meta Refresh Tag!
Place inside <head>
meta refresh tag example
Make sure to replace http://example.com with your domain name!

Redirect to http://example.com/ after 5 seconds:

It is just one of those things from Google from when they started all those Algo changes a couple years back. It is considered bad practice in general to redirect like that. You will also break the back button in most if not all browsers redirecting that way. While Google does not openly state that you should never use them, a bunch of their main guys have stated in their video posts if you use them it is more than recommended to "fix" them. I have found through the years any time things are stated like that as a "suggestion" it is for good reason, generally because an algo change is/has/will be done that brings that into play. Remember Google will never tell you everything they use/look for when they give you good SERPs/Rank.
HTTP is the "compliant" way to redirect. Complaint coding is not always the most convenient or easy but it will always help you. Such as keeping up with what meta tags to be using to influence who and what not to add to give negative effects to the ones you are trying to influence.

you can also use this tag :
<html>
<head>
<title>IU Webmaster redirect</title>
<META http-equiv="refresh" content="5;URL=http://www.indiana.edu/~account/new-directory">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff">
<center>The contents you are looking for have moved. You will be redirected to the new location automatically in 5 seconds. Please bookmark the correct page at <a href="http://www.indiana.edu/~wmhelp/new-directory"> http://www.indiana.edu/~wmhelp/new-directory</a>
</center>
</body>
</html>

So you recommend .htaccess redirect instead of Meta Refresh Tag?

I will use PHP 9 out of 10 times something like this works perfectly and keeps everyone happy
Code:
header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: http://www.example.com/');
exit();

I think it's better to use 301 .htaccess redirect which is more SEO friendly than meta tag redirect method
