Meaning of Restricted refund in bank account details on income tax portal

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

If your bank account shows 'Restricted refund' on the income tax portal despite being validated, it typically means there's a name mismatch between your bank records and your PAN details. While smaller refunds might still be credited, you'll need to rectify the name in your bank account to match your PAN. Once corrected, revalidate the account on the income tax portal to remove the restriction and ensure full refund processing.

07 June 2023 1. Reason For Restricted Refund -Click the 3 dots beside acct # & click 'View Bank details' ... it will show reason as “Refund can be credited only up to ..... due to name/data mismatch between Bank account & PAN.
2. Restricted Refund shows when our data in bank is not matching with Pan Data base. Generally, our name is not fully shown in bank. Get name rectified in bank by giving Aadhaar which shows our full name. After rectification in bank Revalidate the account in Income Tax site.
3. Yes, refund of such smaller amount will get credited to the account.
