The National Testing Agency (NTA) has issued a detailed advisory regarding refunds for candidates appearing in the NEET (UG) 2026 re-examination, urging aspirants to remain vigilant against fraudulent
activities.
In its official statement, the agency clarified that all refunds will be processed directly to the bank accounts or refund details submitted by candidates on the official portal. Candidates have been advised to carefully verify that their bank details are accurate and up to date to avoid any delays in receiving the refund.
Addressing concerns of candidates who may have entered incorrect bank details or are facing issues updating them, the NTA said that such candidates will be given another opportunity to correct their information after the examination.
“All candidates will receive their refund directly into the bank account/refund details updated by them on the official portal. Candidates are advised to ensure their refund details on the portal are accurate and up to date to avoid any delay. Beware of fraudulent calls, messages, or links claiming to “expedite” or “verify” your refund. NTA never asks for OTPs, passwords, UPI PINs, or any payment to process a refund,” the agency posted on X.
“Those who are facing issues in updating bank details or filled incorrect information, will get another chance after the examination to fill correct details. For any queries, candidates may contact the official NTA helpdesk,” the post added.
