Filing Income Tax Return is also a skill. Although anyone can fill it, but it should be filled only by those who know the rules and regulations of Income Tax. Because if there is even a slight mistake in filling the return, then your ITR can be declared defective. In such a situation, you may also get an Income Tax Notice from the Income Tax Department. But if your ITR is correct then your refund will be about to come. Here we are telling you the way to know the refund status…
what is refund
Taxpayers have to deposit advance income tax in any financial year. The amount of tax you have deposited in advance and the tax payable on your income that year is accounted for in the income tax return. If you have already deposited more money than the amount payable, then the excess amount is returned with interest. This is called refund.
When do you get a refund
The last date for filing income tax return (ITR Filing 2024) for the financial year 2024 was 31st July. At present, the Income Tax Department is rapidly processing the returns and issuing refunds. You will get your Income Tax Refund Status only when the Income Tax Department processes your ITR. As the processing of ITR is completed, refunds are being issued.
till then do this work
If you have filed your return (ITR) within the stipulated time, then the refund money is expected to come to your bank account soon. These days the Income Tax Department is processing the ITR of tax payers quickly. After this the refund is transferred to your bank account. Therefore, go to the Income Tax website and double-check your bank account number and IFSC code once. If everything is fine, you will get the refund soon.
