@ Shanka Rao.
Giving you an update on the bank account validation of my relative.
1.There is a selection for revalidation in the three dots on top right corner of the account invalidated ( without reason) by CPC. One selection is .
2.To avoid manually typing the 13 digit bank account twice ( and likely make a mistake, there is no copy paste facility for entering account number ) my relative clicked on the . OTP demanded, and entered. After that same frozen status of "Request submitted".
3.After waiting for 48 hours, again started the battle.
4.This time, as suggested by you, clicked on . OTP demanded, entered and a miracle - the bank account got removed.
5.Next, again added the same bank account :- typed in 13 digit account number twice, 11 digit IFSC, etc etc, again OTP, and by miracle, this time the account got added, showing as Validated. My relative thought of throwing a party due to this miracle 😀.
Now he is awaiting the next miracle, his Verified ITR processed and refund appearing.
I am sure many are not aware of their validated bank account having been invalidated (no fault of theirs) and will end up waiting for ever for getting any refund credited.
Many members, having read our Q/A will be enlightened now and may have already started with this miraculous exercise for themselves, their clients.
