The National Testing Agency (NTA) has extended the deadline for NEET UG 2026 candidates to submit their bank account details to process examination fee refunds. In a public notice, the agency announced that the facility — originally set to close on May 27 — will remain open until June 22, 2026, up to 11:50 pm. The fee refund process is linked to the broader disruptions surrounding the NEET UG 2026 examination held on May 3.

Despite the initial window being open for nearly a week, NTA revealed in its notice that approximately 13 lakh candidates have so far updated their bank account details. This still leaves a considerable number of eligible candidates who have yet to complete the process. Recognising this gap, the agency has decided to extend the submission window by nearly a month, giving remaining candidates time to log in and complete the process.
