IT Refund new rule

The refunds are credited to joint accounts, and even in other than nationalized bank/s, but the account should have been verified (i.e Validated) by assessee through e-filling web, after login.

Thanks. Even I thought the same but got confused when the IT help desk guy reiterated that only singular account in nationalised bank are eligible for refund credit. I have already everified, evc enabled and nominated my bank account,  yet the refund has not happened so far. It's more than 45 days now. 

Well, this time refund processing is very much delayed....

In some cases, our client had to wait about 50/60 days!!

If your account is VALIDATED, & same is ticked in ITR for refund, be assured  you are going to get refund in the account, let it be late...

Good Luck ...  

there is no specific rule from the Indian Income Tax Department that required taxpayers to provide an individual bank account from a nationalized bank for tax refunds. However, tax rules and regulations can change over time, and it's possible that new guidelines or requirements have been introduced since then.

It's important to note that when you file your income tax return (ITR), you typically provide your bank account details for receiving any refunds. The account can be either an individual or a joint account, and it can be with any bank, not limited to nationalized banks.

To address your situation and resolve the issue with your tax refund, I recommend taking the following steps:

1. Double-check the bank details: Ensure that the bank account details you provided in your ITR are accurate, including the account number and IFSC code
