New Delhi: NEET UG 2026 candidates who missed the earlier refund deadline now have another window to update their bank details. The National Testing Agency has extended the NEET UG refund bank detail update facility till July 14, 2026, up to 11:50 PM. NTA said the refund process has already started for candidates who have confirmed their bank accounts, but many eligible students are still pending.
The update helps families waiting for the fee refund after the cancelled May 3 exam and June 21 re-exam. Candidates must use the official NEET UG portal, complete two-factor authentication, check bank details carefully, and submit before the deadline.
Why NTA Extended The NEET UG Refund Window
NTA issued a public notice on July 7 saying only about 10,28,223 candidates had updated and confirmed their bank accounts. The agency also said refunds had started for these candidates. Since a large number of students had still not updated or confirmed their bank account details, NTA reopened the refund portal.
The refund follows the cancellation of the NEET UG 2026 examination held on May 3. NTA said it remains committed to refunding the examination fee paid by all candidates after the cancellation. The latest extension gives pending candidates time till July 14, 11:50 PM. NTA’s July 6 refund update from the National Testing Agency.
Key Dates, Eligibility, and Official Update
Candidates should not treat this as a routine correction window. The process decides whether the fee refund can be credited to the correct bank account. NTA has asked students to finish the exercise on time so the refund process can be completed without delay.
Key Points For Candidates:
- Exam covered under refund: NEET UG 2026 exam held on May 3
- Reason for refund: cancellation of the May 3 examination
- Fresh deadline: July 14, 2026, up to 11:50 PM
- Portal to use: official NEET UG 2026 registration portal
- Required login step: application credentials and two-factor authentication
- Extra document: cancelled cheque may be uploaded for account accuracy
The official NEET website also lists the candidate activity link for “Final Opportunity to Confirm/Update Bank Account Details for NEET (UG) 2026 Fee Refund.” The latest public notice appears under the public notices section on the same site.
How To Update Bank Details On The NEET UG Portal
Candidates should complete the process only through the official NEET UG website. Avoid unofficial links shared on Telegram groups, coaching pages, or unknown WhatsApp forwards, because the refund form needs login credentials and authentication.
Visit the official NEET UG portal and open the refund or bank account confirmation link from the candidate activity section. Log in with the application number and password. Complete the two-factor authentication step. After authentication, click on “Bank Account Details Confirmation/Updation.” Enter or correct the account holder name, bank account number, and IFSC code. Review every digit before submitting the form.
What If The Bank Details Are Wrong?
A wrong account number, inactive account, incorrect IFSC code, or spelling mismatch in the account holder name may delay the refund. NTA has also allowed candidates to upload a cancelled cheque, if they want, to help verify the bank account information.
Candidates who paid the fee through a cyber cafe or third-party help desk should be extra careful. Some students may not have used their own payment source during registration, so the bank confirmation window helps them direct the refund to the correct account.
What Students Should Check Before Submitting The Refund Form
Keep the application number, password, registered mobile number, bank passbook, and cancelled cheque ready before logging in. The OTP or two-factor step may fail if the registered number is not reachable, so candidates should avoid waiting until the final evening.
Students should also track the larger NEET UG 2026 calendar. After the June 21 re-exam, NTA released the provisional answer key and invited objections. Reports have said the Re-NEET UG 2026 result is expected by July 20 after review of objections. Refund, result, and counselling updates may now run close together.
The new NEET UG refund deadline should be treated as the final working chance for pending bank confirmation. Candidates who have already submitted details should still revisit the portal once and confirm that the bank status is saved.
