Refund Process for BSEB Intermediate Students

As per the official notice, BSEB will return the INR 200 application and prospectus fee, which was initially collected through the OFSS system, directly to the respective educational institutions. The refund will be processed only once the institutions update their bank account details on the OFSS portal.

Bank Account Details Missing or Incorrect for Many Institutions

The BSEB has informed that several schools and colleges have either missing or incorrect bank account details in the board’s records. A list of these institutions has been published on the OFSS website at ofssbihar.net. The board has urged the principals of these concerned schools and colleges to update their bank account details between March 28 and April 2, 2025.

Important Details Required for the Refund

To facilitate the refund process, principals and heads of institutions must update the following details on the OFSS portal:

• Bank account number of the institution
• Name of the account holder (as per bank records)
• Name of the bank
• IFSC code (to be entered carefully, ensuring that zero and ‘O’ are correctly mentioned)
• Name of the bank branch

Consequences of Incorrect Bank Details

The official notice further emphasized that if the bank details are not correctly entered, the refund will not be processed.
