IT IS VERY STRICT regarding refunds.

if the account No and Name of assessee does not match then it will not be credit

Log in to ur Efiling account-->Accounts-->Refund Reissue request-->Give  Assesment year , Comm No and Give Refund sequence No.--> Validate

After Validation Assesse has two options --> ECS or paper.

Use Paper mode if there is no account 

Use ECS mode --> Do you want to update bank acct details --> select Yes radio button --> Give correct IFSC code and account No.  FINISH

Is it clear to you prateek

Thank you sir But refund is already credited to the wrong account.. Will it be debited from his account also and credited to mine?

How do you know it is credited.

Please phone help line of CPC  Toll free – 1800-425-2229, and Phone Number – 080-22546500.

You should have phoned long back.

Go to you bank and ask that the refund from IT has gone to which account.

Show your ITRV. They will freeze that much amt. 

Did you get intimtion from CPC.

Not possible. Such amt gets credited only when details match like name, ifsc, bank a/c no etc Till then it does not happen to get credited. Chk the refund details leke from ECS REFUND ADVICE or through Online at tin- nsdl website and then chk refund status by entering PAN and AY. or you can contact your nearest SBI Branch and convey your problem. 

They will provide you with necessary action that has to be taken

Mr Pratik Please do the following

Log into your Efiling account --> opening screen click on "view returns/Form"--> click on ack no --> read the activity log i.e  return uploaded on , ITRV received on , Processed on, refund send to the banker on and refund credit to the assesse's account. 

As soon as the return is processed they send intimation. Then they intimate to SBI andheri Branch and then it is credited to acc. If the name mismatch takes place they will mail refund cannot be send plz give correct acc.

Please keep me posted.   

I know it is credited and i also contacted that particular account holder and i also seen his bank statement... Its been credited because ifsc was same
Will refund reissue request will be accepted in this case

His name also is Prateek Bachani - that means. Tell this friend of yours to transfer refund amt to your acc by NEFT. but later on if IT finds it then it will be deducted from his acc and you have to give back that amt to him. 

If its actually credited, it may be a very long process to get it credited back.

PAN no and ITR refund are the words in the bank entry. But i dont know  

How is I possible. Both will not be having same PAN NO. Refer SBI BRANCH from where the refund has been processed. They will help you. May be they ask to write an application in triplicate to resolve this issue. Application in triplicate is 1 for your reference, other for themselves I.e SBI and other to the AO. The AO will look into the matter and resolve the matter.

Meanwhile you do follow the steps that have been given by S. Shiroor and contact SBI Branch as I had told you the procedure earlier.This might directly get approached to the concerned AO.

Please keep posted as this is one of the rare case I have seen. Plz take the matter seriously as similar situation may arise in future also with you.

Normally the descripttion is    "BY TRF/ECS/1 ADXP*****   C-AY2012- 13     

PAN No and  AY is given.  

Yes and so when PAN NO does not tally, automatically funds should not have got credited to another Prateek Bachani because Pan No will never be same for both the names

Actually money is not the issue... I want to get my documents rectified and i want that refund should appear in credit of my bank account
