A systematic analysis of refraction data obtained in West BengaI basin, has been carried out to bring into focus the utility of the seismic refraction data in delineating fault zones. The study clearly points out the different conspicuous signatures present in the refraction travel time data, associated with the shallower fault zones affecting the top sedirnentry column and the crystalline basement.
