Thereafter he came to me after six months said " sir i have received the cheque from IT Dept. Subsequently i closed my bank account without any knowledge for the convenience of my business. IT Refund Cheque is expired for non deposit within 90 days.

You have to make a 'courtesy call' to the office. This is unwritten law. Our systems value culture than the value of rules and regulations. By sitting in AC office you cannot expect the things done as if you need not visit them.

(hope you understand and take it in the right spirit)

take that cheque and move to the income tax office in the same range ( ward ) and show them that you got a expired cheque so they might ask a letter or else sometime they give you instant a new cheque
