Moneys heretofore or hereafter received by the\ndepartment pursuant to this chapter may, within one year from the\nreceipt thereof, be refunded to the party for whose account same were\nreceived, on proof satisfactory to the commissioner that:\n a.

When the conditions under which any security (other than a surety\nbond) filed with the commissioner have been fully discharged, the\ncommissioner may return such security to the person filing the same,\ntogether with any interest or income which may have accrued thereon; and\nthe commissioner may also, from time to time and after audit by the\ncomptroller, pay to the depositor any intermediate interest or income\naccruing from such security.\n 5.
