What is the resolution when the refund is rejected on account of non submission of FIRC although FIRA was attached ??

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the issue of refunds being rejected because a Foreign Inward Remittance Certificate (FIRC) was not submitted, even when a Foreign Inward Remittance Advice (FIRA) was provided. It suggests that reapplying with the correct FIRC or submitting a bank letter confirming receipts alongside the FIRA can help resolve the rejection. If the officer remains uncooperative, escalating the matter to higher authorities is recommended for a swift resolution.
If FIRC cannot be obtained, a letter from the bank against FIRA confirming reciepts along with correlation may also be submitted. (practically this is also being accepted)
No new application is required to be made. Also, if the officer is not accepting, may need to have a discussion with higher up authority for quick resolution.
