The National Testing Agency (NTA) has issued a public notice announcing the opening of a Bank Account Re-confirmation/Correction Window for the refund of the NEET (UG) 2026 examination fee. The exam was conducted on May 3, 2026.
This step has been taken to ensure that refund amounts are successfully credited to the correct bank accounts of candidates.
Why the Correction Window Was Opened
According to official notice, during the verification of submitted bank account details, several discrepancies were found. These included incorrect account numbers, incomplete information, and invalid bank details provided by some candidates.
Additionally, the agency received multiple requests from candidates seeking an opportunity to correct or update their banking information to avoid refund failures.
OTP-Based Security System Introduced
To strengthen data security, NTA has made OTP-based Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) mandatory for accessing the correction facility.
Candidates will only be able to view or update their bank details after verifying their registered mobile number via OTP.

All bank details belong to the correct beneficiary account
The information entered is accurate to avoid refund delays
Login credentials and OTP are not shared with anyone for security reasons
