Answer in brief
Income tax refunds are paid only to a bank account that has been pre-validated on the e-filing portal. Validation fails if the name, PAN or account details do not match the bank. We add and validate your account, mark it for refund and EVC, and fix any failure.
Every paid answer is checked by a CA. Free AI answers are labelled until a CA verifies them.
