NEET UG 2026 Fee Refund: NTA Extends Bank Account Update Deadline to July 31

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has extended the deadline for NEET UG 2026 candidates to submit or update their bank account details for the examination fee refund. As per the latest public notice dated July 14, 2026, candidates now have until July 31, 2026 (11:50 P.M.) to complete this step.

This refund process relates to the NEET (UG) 2026 examination that was originally held on May 3, 2026.

Over 11 Lakh Candidates Already Refunded

According to the NTA notice, 11,46,401 candidates have so far submitted their bank account details, and the agency has already begun crediting refunds to these accounts. However, a significant number of candidates are yet to complete this step, prompting NTA to extend the window once again to ensure no eligible candidate is left out.

Why the Deadline Keeps Getting Extended

NTA has repeatedly reopened the bank details submission window over the past two months, largely due to candidates entering incorrect account numbers, wrong IFSC codes or simply missing earlier deadlines. This is the latest in a series of extensions aimed at making sure every eligible candidate receives their refund.

How to Submit or Update Bank Details

Candidates who have not yet submitted their bank account details should complete the process at the earliest. Here’s how:

1. Visit the official NEET UG 2026 registration portal at neet.nta.nic.in.
2. Log in using your registration credentials.
3. Locate the “Bank Account Details Confirmation/Updation” link on the portal.
4. Complete the two-factor authentication using the OTP sent to your registered mobile number.
5. Enter or verify your bank account details, including account number and IFSC code.
6. Optionally upload a cancelled cheque for additional verification.
7. Submit the form. Once submitted, the details will be treated as final.
