Earlier, while filling the RRB NTPC application form (CEN 01/2019), candidates had to update their bank account details for the fee refund. However, the application forms were received two years back and there might be changes in the account details of candidates. RRBs have noticed that large number of payments were made from the same account and bank account details of many candidates are not available. However, the IFSC codes of some banks might have changed due to the bank mergers. Therefore, RRBs have decided to take fresh details of the bank accounts of candidates for refunding the application fees.
