Warning: Candidates who do not possess an Aadhaar-linked bank account will be redirected to the NPCI portal to complete the linking process. You may use a family member's Aadhaar-linked account if necessary, provided it is verified during the process.
Refunds often fail due to incorrect account numbers or IFSC codes, accounts not being linked with Aadhaar, or mismatches in account holder details during the verification process.
No, the window for bank account rectification is final. Candidates must complete their updates by 12 June 2026 to ensure the refund is processed.
