24 February 2015 Dear anonymous, Greetings 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

24 February 2015 In case return is filed manually an application should be made to the AO enclosing the copy of refund cheque for reissue of refund cheque mentioning correct account number and if filed online, submit request for reissue of refund by quoting correct account number.

22 February 2016 Yes,Contact your jurisdictional AO along with relevant proof(legal heir certificate). After verification the Jurisdictional AO approves the legal heir claim, refund will be routed to your bank account.
