Post office savings Bank account does not have IFSC code, hence cannot be validated.

	Details- state bank of India (PPF) Account, remark -account blocked, validation done in 2018.Axis Bank remark - Account closed, validation failed in 2016. These accounts cannot be revalidated as they don't exist nor removed as it's not validated. I have not attempted to validated them.

Is PPF account also becomes part of bank accounts to be declared?

Should such accounts be deleted from the Profile / ITR return and then submitted?

@ Bhavsar, once I received refund in this account and that is how it was picked up as failed account. That is the reason for Account Blocked remark. even Axis was not validated by me it was closed in 2016 much before validation started. I used to receive refund in Axis too.

where Bank account does not get validated Assessee Needs to upload ECS Mandate. But format of ECS mandate is not in Site nor does the site mention in which portion of the site this mandate has to be uploaded.

ECS mandate form is issued by Bank, it's normally issued when you have to give standing instructions. don't know whether banks will certify ECS form without any mandate.

If all bank accounts are not getting validated then such accounts will have to be deleted before 28th Sep 2021 to timely file the tax return to avoid penalty. If the invalidated bank account is not declared in the ITR form for 2021, then the return could be declared faulty by the CPC / Income Tax Department / AO.

@ Bhavsar, can you kindly elaborate. Only validated account can be removed. If for some reason the account is not getting validated, it has to be revalidated. Even if the account is deleted how can the same be declared in the ITR?

The portal is useless. Government is fooling people. IT Paying people are doomed in India. IT Evading people are enjoying and purchasing farm houses and big cars. Even the portal does not work. There are bank accounts which are validated and still it throws error related to bank acoc*nt.
