  2. By sending an Income Tax Refund Cheque to the Assessee in the event that the Assessee’s Income Tax Return does not accurately reflect his bank account information.

In the case of physical checks, there is a possibility that the Assessee has relocated to a new address after submitting his or her tax return, at which point the CPC Bangalore refund check will be returned for non-delivery. Even though the Assessee’s address has not changed, it’s possible that they won’t be able to receive the refund order because no one was home on the day the check was delivered or because the postal service returned the refund check undeliverable because the house was locked.
