Candidates who have not yet submitted or corrected their banking details must complete the process immediately. Failure to do so may result in delays or complications in receiving the examination fee refund.
Final Deadline: July 7, 2026, 11:50 PM
The NTA has clearly stated that July 7, 2026, is the last opportunity for eligible candidates to verify or update their bank account information.
Important:Candidates are advised not to wait until the final hours, as heavy traffic on the official portal may lead to technical issues or delays in submission.
Why is NTA Refunding the Examination Fee?
The refund process has been initiated because the original NEET UG 2026 examination, scheduled for May 3, 2026, was cancelled.
Subsequently, the NTA conducted the Re-NEET UG 2026 examination on June 21, 2026, in which nearly 20 lakh candidates appeared.
Since candidates had already paid the examination fee for the cancelled examination, the agency decided to refund the fee to all eligible registered candidates.
Refund Window Extended Several Times
To ensure that every eligible candidate gets sufficient time to complete the process, the NTA extended the refund facility multiple times.
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Refund Portal Opened | May 22, 2026 |
| Original Closing Date | May 27, 2026 |
| First Extension | June 22, 2026 |
| Portal Reopened | June 25 – June 30, 2026 |
| Final Extended Deadline | July 7, 2026 (11:50 PM) |
This is the final extension, and
candidates should not expect the portal to reopen again.
Who Should Update Their Bank Details?
Candidates should log in to the official portal if they:
- Have not yet submitted their bank account details.
- Need to correct an incorrect account number or IFSC code.
- Wish to verify previously submitted banking information.
- Want to ensure that the refund is credited to the correct account without delay.
Candidates who have already completed and successfully verified their banking details generally do not need to take any further action.
