Why NTA Has Extended the Refund Portal

The refund window has been extended to ensure that no eligible candidate misses out on receiving the examination fee refund. Since many students have not yet verified or updated their banking information, NTA has decided to reopen the facility one final time. Candidates are advised to complete the process well before the deadline to avoid any delay in receiving their refund.

Last Date to Confirm Bank Account Details

Candidates who have not yet updated or confirmed their bank account information must complete the process by July 14, 2026, up to 11:50 PM. Once the deadline expires, NTA is expected to complete the refund process based on the bank details submitted through the portal. Students are therefore encouraged not to wait until the final hours to avoid technical issues or last-minute errors.
