It is understood that IT Refund issuing is entrusted to SBI from the following extract of an FAQ.
In the ‘Refund Banker Scheme’ the refunds generated on processing of Income tax Returns by the Assessing officers/ CPC-Bangalore are transmitted to State Bank of India, CMP branch, Mumbai (Refund Banker) on the next day of processing for further distribution to taxpayer.
In view of the above, if the refund amount is legally belonging to you, the instrument can be deposited in your bank account.
