yeah. in india its the similar thing. if talking about income tax, you have to get your bank account "prevalidated" meaning it has your tax id and your mobile number linked. also, your national identity card needs to be linked to your income tax account as well as that bank account. once you have that, only then the refund is processed. i know people who have had issues with their name spelling and refunds were stuck for months.
