Hello Dear,

The security deposit will be refunded to the candidates who do not take admission through NEET 2020 counselling. The security fee will be refunded to the institution where the candidate has taken admission and will be adjusted with the first year annual fee. In case, candidate is not allotted any seat in all rounds of counselling including stray vacancy round, the fee will be refunded in the account provided by the candidate at the time of registration. So if you have not taken the admission the fee will be refunded back in that. For more information you can contact to the concerned official.

Good Luck
