Subject of E-mail : Your refund has failed, please raise a Refund Re-issue Request
What can be the probable reasons for the failure of a refund?
A list of some of the probable reasons why the refund fails are:
- Incorrect Bank Account Number
- Incorrect IFSC Code, MICR Code
- PAN is not linked to the Account
- KYC is pending for the bank account
- Incorrect type of account is selected i.e Current Account/Saving Account
- Incorrect description of account holder i.e Primary holder/secondary holder
- PAN name does not match with Account name etc.
The taxpayer has to raise a refund reissue service request on the e-filing portal.

On the dashboard go to “Service Menu”
From the drop-down list select “Refund Reissue”
Click on “+ Create Refund Reissue Request” (Note: You will be allowed to create a refund reissue request only if the refund has failed and not for an unprocessed/awaited refund)
Upon clicking the “Create Refund Reissue Request“, first you will have to select the Assessment Year for which the refund has failed and then click “Continue“.

- If you wish to avail refund in the bank account which is validated please click on “proceed for verification“.
- But if you wish to avail refund in the bank account which is yet to be validated please click on “Revalidate“.
When you click on “revalidate”, a new window named “Add Bank Account” with the available details shall appear. Please provide and verify the details and click on “validate”
After the bank account is validated or an already validated bank account is selected, the taxpayer should select the bank account in which Government should issue the refund and click on “proceed for verification”. A new window for e-verification shall appear.
To submit the refund re-issue request, the taxpayer will have to “e-Verify” by choosing the appropriate mode of e-verification i.e Aadhaar OTP/EVC/DSC, and then click on “continue” to submit the request.
Upon e-verification of the service request a “success message” will be displayed confirming the Refund Re-issue request submission.

I added representative assessee to deaceased assesses profile for claiming refund. But in the new site I’m unable to see any refund reissue request available. Though I contacted e filing several times they didn’t solve the problem
Refund Re-issue request can be made only when the refund has failed.
If the ITR is yet to be processed then the refund may be delayed.
If the ITR is processed and refund is awaited you can do nothing but wait for the refund.
You can raise a grievance and call the CPC to help stating the grievance number or ask if there is any correction required from your side.
Alternatively, CBDT and CBIC have been very active on twitter, you may try tweeting your concern tagging them it might help.
