(b) It is essential that the information about the NEFT enabled Bank Account i.e. Bank Account Number, Branch details, IFS C code in respect of the dealer are included by the dealer in the Registration record.<\/p>\n

The Annexure-A on record shall\u00a0remain valid as long as no fresh Annexure-A is submitted to the Registration Branch along with the cancelled Cheque\/Bank Certificate, as mentioned earlier.<\/p>\n

(c) It is needless to say that, the refund under NEFT shall be subject to the provisions of the Maharashtra Value Added Tax Act, 2002 and the rules made there under. Any amount, if wrongly refunded, shall be recovered
\nas per the provisions of law. The dealers are requested to approach the Registration Branch \/Officer for the amendment in their registration record as mentioned at 2(b) above and avail the facility of direct deposit of refund in their bank account.<\/p>\n
