How To Pre-validate The Bank Account on the Income Tax e-Filing Portal?

Ensure Refunds: Pre-validating your bank account on the e-Filing portal ensures smooth receipt of your Income Tax Refund, as refunds are issued only to pre-validated accounts linked to your PAN. My Bank Account Services: Add and pre-validate accounts, remove closed accounts, nominate accounts for refunds, remove nominations, enable/disable EVC, and revalidate failed accounts.

Prerequisites: You must be a registered user on the e-Filing portal, with a valid user ID and password, and your PAN must be linked with the bank account. Active Bank Account: The account should be active, linked with your PAN and registered mobile number (mandatory), and email ID (optional).

Valid Mobile Number: The mobile number must be registered with both the e-Filing portal and the active bank account. Steps to Pre-validate: Login to the e-Filing portal. Click on the profile option from the top right. Select the Bank Account option.

View the "My Bank Accounts" page to see Added, Failed, and Removed accounts. Nominate a bank account for refund by toggling the option under "Nominate for Refund" and confirming your choice.
