Dear Godachappa.iangadi, Greeting good evening. Since wrong account number was quoted in the return and the refund has been processed, an intimation u/s 143(1) also would have been generated. If the return has been filed online, i hope which is for sure, whoever has filed the return should opt for the option of refund reissue request in Income tax site. There details regarding 143(1) is asked such as communique no and refund sequence no, the same needs to be provided. In the next screen the site asks u whether u want to reset ur A/c no and details regarding the same. By inserting the correct a/c no you could ask the I.T department online itself If 143(1) is not raised then a request for intimation u/s 143(1) can be made online
