How to Pre-Validate Bank Account to receive Income Tax Refund?

View Comments

• My ITR has been processed on feb 5th 2021 but refund not sent to the refund banker even a month later. I found out about the requirement to pre-validate and I pre-validated my account successfully today. Do I have to communicate in some way to IT that I have done pre-validation now? Could lack of pre-validation be the reason for not sending the refund to the refund banker?

  • I have filed the ITR for 20-21. Status is showing Return is in progress and I have also prevalidate my account number and now Its showing my account is validated. But Still I am not able to Enable EVC. If the status is in Validated means will I get the refund?

    • Dear Abhay,
      If the status is validated, then I don't think there are any issues.

• Dear sir

  my refund could not be deposited saying that PAN details not matching however which is not the case so they have asked copy of pan,bank pass book through mail which i have forwarded .I have been told to prevalidate the account which i have tried no of times but it is showing that due to technical erros pre-validation failed,Please suggest me what to do.

  • Dear Bhanu,
    Approach the bank.

• Dear Sir,

  My name is M.D.CHANDRA MOHAN. Got an email from cpc for refund failure either due to

  1) PAN not linked to bank account
  2) Name in bank account not as per PAN

  My PAN is already linked. As for my name as per PAN is *Madiraju Doraswamy Raju Chandra Mohan*, but in bank account it is *M.D.Chandra Mohan*.

  So is it mandatory for me to change my bank account name as per PAN, as previous years of filing my refund has been on this name itself as per bank name. First time facing this issue.

  Also my SBI bank account is already prevalidated. Kindly advise.

  • Dear Chandra,
    If the validation is done and earlier refunds received, then you no need to change the name.

• Hi, my axis bank account prevalidation is taking long time. Showing request submitted. There is no option to remove the same.

  So parallel can I add my SBI Account instead.

  • axis bank is not integrated with income tax department so it takes long time.... you can add sbi which will be validated within minutes

    • Dear Bhanu,
      Thanks for your inputs.

  • Dear Chandra,
    Approach the bank or raise an issue with them.

• Is it necessary for just the PAN to be registered with the Banker or the Aadhar card also needs to be registered on the bank account?? I have ICICI account linked with PAN already and activated too but refund failed. It is not linked with Aadhar card.

  • Dear Bijay,
    Better link Aadhaar too.

• Sir, I have filed my return with Axis Bank Account in my ITR for refund credit, but the account is not getting validated and still showing the request submitted. then I have pre-validated my Indian Overseas Bank account, and it is accepted. But I didn't receive a refund. what should I do?

  • Dear Thejeswar,
    Wait for the process.

• I have filed the ITR for 20-21. Status is showing Return is in progress. When I tried to prevalidate my account from IT site its failed because pan and accound name mismatch. So I did that from net banking. Now Its showing my account is validated. But Still I am not able to Enable EVC. If the status is in Validated means will I get the refund?

  • Dear Saravana,
    Yes.

• I have prevalidated my bank account(02/06/2020) after IT return filing (revised-17/04/2020)for the year 2019- 20 and it is showing Validated and EVC enabled.This activity is sufficient to get my refund or anything i have to do further.

  • Dear Senthil,
    This much is sufficient.

    • Thank You

      • My bank account says" Validated "on the IT site, is that enough to get the refund? Or should it also say "Validated and EVC enabledd" ?

        Is just VALIDATED enough for the refund?

        • Dear TJ,
          Enough and update validated and EVC enabled also.

• Hi Sir,

  I submitted to pre-validate my bank account twice through the e-filing approach. But whenever I login to see the status, the page takes me to log a new request everytime and I can't even see the status for my previous requests. I don't even know whether the request is failed, if yes then for what reason. It also do not show up in the failed bank list. What should I do?

  • Dear Nishantkumar,
    Approach the bank.

• Sir I have filed my ITR first with my SBI account but I remove my sbi pre validated account and I put my ICICI account for refund and it's showing validated. So will my refund will be be credited in icici account . I want my refund to credited in my icici account

  • Dear Sunand,
    Yes, it will be credited to ICICI Bank.
