Where Your Bank Details Are Required Beyond Salary

• Home loan EMI NACH mandate—account number + IFSC + MICR from cancelled cheque
• SIP auto-debit—mutual fund NACH mandate needs the same three details
• Insurance premium autopay—registered via NACH with your bank
• Income tax refund—credited to the pre-validated bank account in your ITR
• PF withdrawal forms—require bank account number and IFSC
• Government schemes—DBT, PM-KISAN, pension portals need IFSC-linked account

When You Change Jobs and Open a New Salary Account

Update your home loan EMI mandate immediately. The lender needs a new cancelled cheque and revised NACH mandate—a process taking 15–30 days. Initiate at least 6 weeks before the next EMI date to avoid a bounce charge affecting your CIBIL score.

Income Tax Refund: Pre-Validation Is Critical

Your tax refund goes to the bank account pre-validated on incometax.gov.in. If your salary account changed during the year, update the pre-validated account before filing. Refunds to a closed account are returned to the department—re-processing takes months.
