Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether prevalidating your bank account on the income tax portal is mandatory to receive your income tax refund. It confirms that prevalidation is indeed a requirement for refunds for Assessment Years 2019-20 and 2020-21. While initially debated as a safety feature, the consensus is that it's now a mandatory step for receiving your refund.

No, prevalidation of bank account is must for refund.

for a.y. 2019-20 also? When was it became mandatory to prevalidate bank account?

 

Prevalidation is mandatory for refund
even for AY 2019-20
Pre-validation is additional safety feature for refund issued by CPC. is it mandatory ? I don't think so.
No, it is not necessary for Prevalidation of Bank account. You have to mention details of the bank account in which you want to receive refund. Prevalidation is just a safety measure.
Thanks and Regards,
