Some Important Information From Comments

Comments:
1. When I filled application for refund, I was informed by the lady at the stamp office at MMRDA Bandra east that the money would be routed to my bank account in 45 days. Now, nearly 60 days have past but, the bank has no reflection of the said refund. My refund codes are 2016/1021922, 2016/1021915 and 2016/1021917. Please inform the refund status.

2. We have done the refund process in July 2021. It’s almost 11 month over & due to a medical emergency, we are required to this money as early as possible for medical operation. We had also called IGR SARATHI Helpline for Refund Process, but they are saying they, don’t have any idea regarding refund.
