About RRB Group-D Fee Refund 2022(01/2019):
The Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) have initiated the refund process for the examination fee paid by the candidates who had attended the CBT conducted for Level-1 posts against CEN No. RRC – 01/2019 between 17th August 2022 and 11th October 2022. However, as the applications were received four years back, the bank account details may have changed, and thus the RRBs have decided to provide a one-time opportunity to update the bank account details through an “Update Bank Account Link” on the official websites of RRBs. The link will be available from 14th April 2023, 10.00 AM to 30th April 2023, 05.00 PM. The candidates are advised to carefully check their bank account details and IFSC codes before submitting the same. The refund (after the deduction of bank charges) will be admissible only after verification of the candidate’s particulars with RRB records. The same updated bank details will also be used in the future for refunding the prescribed fees paid by the candidates whose raised objections for questions/answers/options were found correct. Only one refund per bank account will be allowed, and incorrect, incomplete, and/or late claims will be summarily rejected. The candidates are advised to keep viewing the official website of RRBs regularly for further updates/notices.
