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

If you appeared for NEET UG 2026 and are still waiting for your examination fee refund, here is some relief – NTA has once again extended the deadline for candidates to submit or update their bank account details.

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 into these accounts. However, a significant number of candidates are yet to complete this step, which is why NTA has extended the window once again to ensure no eligible candidate misses out.

Why the Deadline Keeps Getting Extended

NTA has reopened the bank account details window more than once over the past couple of months, mainly because many candidates either entered incorrect account numbers or IFSC codes, or missed the earlier deadlines altogether. This fresh extension to July 31 is the latest step in that ongoing effort to make sure every eligible candidate gets their refund.
