18 December 2014 You should contact jurisdictional assessing officer with proof of wrong credit and ask him to reissue the refund in the correct bank account. Also make sure that in return filed by you correct bank account number belonging to you was mentioned by you otherwise the refund banker will not be at default at his end as the refund is credited in the bank account mentioned in the return. If correct bank account was mentioned you have the right to claim your refund from IT authorities since it is their gross negligence in duty.
