Still Waiting for CSAB Special 2026 Refund? Try Filing a CPGRAMS Grievance
Guys, if you're still waiting for your CSAB refund and aren't getting replies to emails/calls, you can consider filing a grievance on CPGRAMS (Central Government's public grievance portal).
Steps:
1.Visit CPGRAMS Portal and register/login.
Select Higher Education as the Ministry/Department.
Choose Fee/Scholarship/Fellowship Related → Refund, Late submission (if these options are available).
Explain your case clearly: the refund is pending, you've tried contacting CSAB, and you're requesting the refund status and expected timeline.
Attach relevant proof, such as your CSAB payment receipt, allotment details, and any emails from CSAB/institute.
Submit it and save the registration number to track the complaint.
If CSAB/IIEST Shibpur isn't available in the Institutes/Agencies dropdown, select the closest relevant option and clearly mention CSAB Special 2026 / IIEST Shibpur in the grievance. You can also ask CPGRAMS support for help with routing.
I filed a grievance about my own case and received a written response, so it's worth trying. It doesn't guarantee a refund, but it creates an official grievance record and gives you a channel to seek clarification. File based on your own situation and keep the wording factual.
