Step-by-Step Process

• Go to the official NEET (UG)-2026 registration portal
• Log in using your registered credentials
• Click on the Refund Link on your dashboard
• Fill in all required bank account details (as per Annexure-I)

Bank Details Required 

Candidates will need to furnish the following information on the refund portal:

• Account Holder Name - exactly as it appears in bank records
• IFSC Code - of the specific branch where the account is held
• Account Number - double-check before submitting
• Bank Name - full official name of the bank

NTA Advises Against Chargebacks

In a notable advisory included within the notice, the NTA has cautioned all NEET (UG)-2026 candidates not to initiate a chargeback for the examination fee with their banks or payment providers. A chargeback, wherein a cardholder disputes a charge directly with their bank, could complicate and delay the official refund process being managed by NTA.

Important Reminders for Candidates

• Submission of bank details is final and irreversible, no modifications allowed after submission
• Do NOT initiate a chargeback with your bank or payment provider
• Ensure the account is active and operational before submitting details
• The name entered must exactly match the bank account holder's name
• Cross-check your IFSC code from your bank's official website or passbook
• Upload a cancelled cheque if unsure about account details, it adds an extra layer of accuracy
• Complete the process well before the 27 May deadline to avoid last-minute issues
