Why the department is sending refund cheques instead of ECS, when the assesses have opted for ECS in return and provided all the correct details. Some refunds are issued through ECS and some through Cheque Mode. 

Whats criteria the department is setting if anyone is having any idea ?

Refund through cheque mode if very undesirable , which involves 10-20 days process.
