ONDo you know how to find your income tax refund status online? Yes, there is a simple way of finding out the status of your income tax return online. A lot of people are clueless about the refund status!
Now, one can just enter their PAN number and the Assessment year for which the refund status is to be known and get the status update on a click of a button.
All you need to do is go to this website and enter your PAN number and choose the Assessment year and click on submit. This will give you the current status of your income tax refund. You can also track the status of the income tax refund by contacting the help desk of SBI’s at toll free number: 18004259760 or email them at itro@sbi.co.inor refunds@
Note that the income tax refund is valid only if you file your income tax return on time. If you delay the income tax return filing, in that case you will lose the interest on your refund money. I hope you know that filing your tax return online helps one to get tax refund faster than offline return filing.
A lot of income tax refunds get dispatched at right time, but they go back because of the change in address. A lot of people keep moving from one place to another and because of this the income tax refund status shows “Refund Cheque returned because of change in address” reason in the status.
Look that the snapshot below
In case one has already en-cashed the cheque which has come for income tax refund, and then he will see the following message in the status box. If you see this and haven’t already got the cheque – you are in problem!
There can be other status also depending on the situation. The above two status’s were just for demo purpose.
Did you check your Income tax refund status? If No, then check it soon and let us know what is the status?

Hey Manish,
I filed my return about 10 days from now. I set the refund via ECS, but the activity shows nothing more than EVC accepted. Shows up as ‘Not determined’ at the Refund Status. How long should I be waiting before taking any further action.
Thanks in advance.
You should wait for some more days and check with income tax department on this using RTI

Manish
my refund is more than 50k so they sent a cheque for that. But my PAn is having my old address. It returned from there. Then I created re-issue request again they sent cheque on that wrong address. How can i tell them my right address. Or the worst thing I need to create a new PAN card with address corrections???
Any idea?
YOu will have to first change your address in PAN I guess and then they will send it to right address
Hello Anil, can you please update us whether the refund cheque was sent to the address that was present in the PAN database or the address that you mentioned in the IT returns? Didn’t you create the reissue request with different address (there’s an option to specify the address you want)? And last question – what is the current status of your refund? Sorry for multiple questions but your response will really help me expedite my refund as its in process and I too have old address specified in my PAN card.

Hi Mr. Manish,
I’ve got my refund cheque and can i cash it at any SBI branch? Or do i have to cash it at my home branch which is at SBI Guwahati University Branch.? By the way I left Guwahati few years back as i have completed my college. I did not transfer my account to my present work place.

I received IT refund cheque from SBI with wrongly mentioned Name “Ravi sappam Loganathan kumar “ with correct account number and PAN . Correct Name : “Ravikumar Sapram Loganathan. Can anyone please let me know is to possible to encash.
You cant unless the bank account is in same name. Check with bank on this if it will pass through . Ask for another cheque now
I have filled my ITR 3 months back .I have received the acknowledgement and even check my ITR status on e-filing website.There its showing “itr processed refund determined and sent out to refund banker” status. But when i checked it on the above mentioned link(on this website) , it is showing ” Account Description Incorrect : Unable to credit refund as the account description (10 for savings account, 11 for current account and 14 for cash credit account) provided by you is incorrect” . Can you explain what this means.

It means that income tax department has not yet processed it . I think now its time for you to raise a RTI query ! and ask for the exact status !
From where can i view my Income Tax Refund Intt?
Kindly guide.
There is no portal like that where you can just login and view it . You must have applied for the tax refund while filing returns . Now you need to find the status of it and the best way to do that is using RTI !
sir, i have filled an ITR and filled an wrong bank account no. or IFSC bank code and my refund is not deposited due to this problem. plz help me out
Neha
the best thing you can do is to file a RTI to Income tax department on this and ask them the next steps !
HI All my uncle return was processed and the status show as “return processed and sent out to refund banker”.But when i checked online refund status in tin nsdl it shown as following
Others – Paper refund was cancelled or electronic credit rejected by the bank of the assessee with the reasons others. Contact your assessing officer for fresh release of refund. Now What to do with this?
Thanks in Advance.
I think you should now file a RTI on this .
Sorry, I forgot to mention above that there has been no change in either Address or Bank details in my case. This site shows that there is no instruction for Refund from ITO(or words to that effect)
After going thro’ this site,I came to know, only now, that I can see these details. 1) After going thro the Refund details for all A/Ys from2005-06, I find I have not been given Refunds for A/Ys 05-06, 06-07, 12-13, 13-14 and 14-15 though some amount in each year was due. I have received Refunds for other A/Ys. What does it mean and what I should do? 2) These Refunds do not mention Principal Amount & Interest element separately. How do I get to know this, as I understand that I have to include this interest as my income in the year of receipt & pay tax on it?
Hi Dattatreya
I think now you should take professional help of a CA who can help you get all the refunds in proper manner. Let me know if I should connect you to a CA ?

Do you have the acknowledgement ?
No I don’t have acknowledgement only for that year with me. That’s why I am confused.
dear sir,
when i checked below mentioned status has come , what i do

Note:-
Please contact your Assessing Officer.
Insist on Computerised Challan Counterfoil from bank for tax deposited.
The best way you can get a proper reply would be through RTI !
Dear Sir, I missed a refund cheque and the status showed addressee not found. This was the status for some days. It was in the year 2011. Now I do not see any status and I did not receive refund. I appealed to the concerned Assessment Officer of my region without any result. What shall be my course of action to get refund?
Now better file a RTI to get this resolved . You will surely get benefitted !
Manish
Hello Sir,
I filed my IT return online for assessment year 2013-14 on 1/8/13 and received ITR-V receipt on 19/8/13. Last year I got refund in Nov. Till date I didn’t get refund for AY2013-14. I checked refund status on NSDL site, it showing that
a. Your assessing officer has not sent
this refund to Refund Banker.
b. If this refund has been sent by
your Assessing Officer within the
last week, you may wait for a week
and again check status.
What to do?
Now its the time to file a RTI … refer to this – http://jagoinvestor.dev.diginnovators.site/2013/01/income-tax-refund-status-online.html
We file returns on time but there is any time limit for returning the refund?
Sometimes IT department takes months together for refunds.
Yes Shiva
It gets late a lot of time, but when its late, you also get interest on the amount
Thanks MANISH Ji for ur kind advice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome !
Hi, I was being deducted excess of Taxable income during 2011-12 year, but due to some family problems, I could not apply for Tax Refund. Now can I apply for this right now.
Although I tried but it is displaying:
Your assessing officer has not sent this refund to Refund Banker…………..
what to do now? Please give advice/suggestion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Raju
Have you already filed for it in tax returns ? My suggestion is that you get in touch with a good CA on this .
As per the web site, the refund has been processed on Jan 03, but the amount is not yet reflected in my account after 06 days. Also the date is incorrect it says Jan 03, 2013 instead of 2014.
What to do now ?
RTI filing is the best option you have now !
Hi, I filed my IT returns for assessment year 2013-14 on 3rd July 2013 and for the next month i received ITR-V receipt with the acknowlodgement number. If i check the status of my refund in the site ( https://tin.tin.nsdl.com/oltas/servlet/TaxRefundStatus ) its showing that ” Your assessing officer has not sent this refund to Refund Banker.” and ” If this refund has been sent by your Assessing Officer within the last week, you may wait for a week and again check status”. For this what should i do , Anyone let me help.
Better file a RTI asking for the status and when you will get the refund . It will get processed faster !
The Assessing Officer has processed your refund and forwarded to SBI for dispatch.
How long does it take from this status to the money coming in the bank account.
Got it in 2 days.
You need to now file a RTI with SBI on this or with Income tax office, It can take anywhere from weeks to many months without it
hello manish ji my cousin has filed income tax return for the year 2012-13 manually (offline), but the refund has not been received till now. Please advise me how to know the refund status for the it returns which was filed manually.
Here is the solution to your problem
http://jagoinvestor.dev.diginnovators.site/2013/01/income-tax-refund-status-online.html
hi, my refund cheque for the AY 2012-13 has returned due to change of my address the refund status is showing like:-No such Address – Refund voucher cancelled. The instrument returned undelivered by the speed post as the address provided by the assessee is not complete/ non existent.
How can I get my refund now.
You will have to now get in touch again with tax department (try RTI now) and ask how to get the refund cheque again !
Manish
Hi Manish,
My refund status id showing as No demand no refund.. can u pls let me know what that means.. My money will be refunded or not if my status is no demand no refund.?

Hi Manish,
I had filed my IT return for assesment year 2009-10 manually and was supposed to get Rs 5076/- as a refund but till date I had not received the amount. When i check the status online is says –
Your assessing officer has not sent this refund to Refund Banker.
Could you please let me know what I am supposed to do now.
YOu should file a RTI for this now and get the status !
Hi Manish
In my experience, I have not used RTI but still have got some hard nuts to crack.
1. USe pgportal.gov.in .. This is the Indian govt portal that routes all grievances to respective departments.. The IT department has 2 month timeframe to respond to your grievance.
2. Simultaneoulsy, involve the IT Ombudsman either through written letters or email.. Do keep following up on email / phone.
3. Keep pestering your AO for a response. IF physical visits are not possible, try and get the landline number of the ITO and the commissioner and keep following up.
If its CPC, do not use the helpline but call up 080-25186901 and keep faxing ITO HQ on 080-25186919 once every week for a response.
Do note that the department responses can be exteremely vague (“in process of being informed” does not give a time-frame) so you need to keep pushing (pestering/ “following up”).
Thanks a lot for those tips , didnt knew them !
2012-13

My husband Mr. Suresh Shetty is not receiving his refund amount in time it is been pending for the assessment year 2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12 & 2012-13.
He has checked with his C.A. but even they are unable to find out what the problem persists. I request you to please check into this matter and suggest me for the solutions.
Waiting to hear from yourside.
Thks & Rgds.,
Amita Shetty.
you can only get the solution now with help of RTI , check this – http://jagoinvestor.dev.diginnovators.site/2013/01/income-tax-refund-status-online.html
Hi Manish,
Thanks for a very helpful post again!
I have updated my Pan details after reading this article and now my address is updated in their records 🙂
My refund cheque was returned because of wrong address on Feb2011. Now what I have to do to claim the same tax refund ?
Thanks,
Veerendra
You should file a RTI now and check on the process by them itself so that there is no confusion again !
Dear Manish,
what do you mean by Demand determined status that is displayed in the Refund/Demand Status link in the Directorat of Income tax website
I am not sure on that , please check it out on our forum – http://www.jagoinvestor.com/forum/
A Demand Determined indicates that there are tax dues remaining to be paid based on the assessment of your ITR. You can get further details by clicking on the Outstanding Tax Demand link on incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in .
Thanks for sharing that with all of us !
Hi Manish,
I submitted my IT returns via an agent on 19-Jun-2012 and I have not received any refund yet.
Status in online is showing as – “Expired Cheque – Refund voucher cancelled. The refund voucher was not deposited for encashment within 90 days from the date of issue. Contact your assessing officer for fresh release of refund”.
when I submitted IT returns, I opted “Credit to Bank Account “option. I was wondering why did they send cheque.
I found an email-id(refunds@incometaxindia.gov.in) in their website and when I sent an email to this email-id, it was bounced back.
Could you please me the next steps in this matter?
Thanks,
Veera.
I think unless you file a RTI , you cant be sure of the status !
I have been selecting ECS refunds in all my returns of the past 6 years. but all refunds have been made by paper cheque. The only use for account number entered in the ITR is that the same is printed on the refund cheque so I am forced to deposit in the same bank account.
If you have received an expired cheque, you will need to apply to IT deptt and request for a fresh cheque to be issued. This is not possible to be done through email.
If you have not received the cheque but the status shows expired cheque, you can also write to the local IT Ombudsman for redressal..
Thanks for that information
dear manish i am working in health dept in uttarakhand i have send my ttrefund 6/01/2013 till i didnt get my refund my pan AVZPK8106B year ntlyrge2012-13 plz reply urgently
file a RTI for this
i have got VRS – Voluntary Retirement Scheme from my company on 2012 so some income tax was deducted from VRS money given to me by company so we have claimed return file to get some refund and after enquiring at bandra income tax office on 5th apr 2013 they said that TDS ie 26AS is not showing in their system whereas 30 out of 50 people in our company have got refund please help sir .
This is a complicated issue , please meet a CA
If your problem has not been solved –
1. You would have received a Form 16 for the tax deducted that includes tax deducted on the VRS amount.
2. Enclose a copy of the above form 16 with an application to your AO for “Inclusion of TDS amount for AY xxx”.
3. Meet your AO concerned, explain the situation to him and ensure that he updates the data properly on the system. May require more than 1 visit and will require lots of waiting (patience)..
All the best!!

Hi! Manish,
It has been nearly one and a half year that my parents have not receive their IT return. They have shifted to a different state now. The state where they submitted the IT form still has the same bank account. The form was submitted manually. They found their Jurisdiction details online. But, what next? As they are in different state altogether so will filling for RTI help? If yes the what is the procedure? Can you please provide with appropriate link to help us know the details of it?
Expecting an answer soon.
Thanks and regards.

Hi Manish,
Your website looks good to me. I checked my refund status on TIN and came across the comment “Unable to credit refund as the account number provided by you is incorrect”.
Currently I am in USA and just wondering how to contact assessing officer to get my account number reviewed or updated.
Can you please suggest how shall I proceed to get my refund. Thanks.
I suggest file a RTI now . you can do it online , refer to http://jagoinvestor.dev.diginnovators.site/2012/03/rti-for-epf-withdrawal-or-transfer.html

All you can do is apply for it again ,what is bank saying ?
Hi Manish
I work as a consultant for a government department in Hyderabad. After a long struggle and wait for over 3 years, I received my cheque for the refund of tax paid for AY 2010-11, yesterday. However, those “smart” fellows have not rightly indicated my bank account no. and when I asked branch they are not accepting the cheque and SBI IT call centre guy is saying that the issue is not because of the fault from the bank but of ITO. I’m literally tired on how to get my refund in reality. Can u advice me in this regard?
Frankly, there is no easy route , you need to either get it done again , use RTI if required, or file a consumer court case . As a citizen you have a right to get your money on time , and it was IT department fault , so they should compensate you .

Hi Manish thanks for the response.
Mine is bit complex case, i did the filing for last 2 years together AY 11-12 & 12-13, out of which 11-12 i missed to submit the declarations (again due to was in abroad) that did while filing recently by agent.
Got acknowledgement for Receipt of ITR-V at Centralized Processing Center, Bangalore for both.
I heard tax filed online will be processed quickly for refund around 2mons.
I just want to know the maximum time line for this refund, once they cross the timeline then i can go for RTI procedures, i am currently abroad may be another 6mon, want to resolve through online.
Thanks & Regards,
I think you should file the RTI after 2-3 monnths
Hi
I have entered wrong account no for refund in my E filling by mistake, is there any procedure to correct that no? Pl help!
You will have to refile it !
Hello Manish,
Thanks for sharing this information.
In my case I had not opted for ECS so they had sent a cheque (I guess) but at the time that cheque reached my home no body was at home for a week. And now the status shows that “No such Address – Refund voucher cancelled. The instrument returned undelivered by the speed post as the address provided by the assessee is not complete/ non existent” . As per the status of speed post reference no it shows that refund voucher came to my town but it has now gone back to its original base.
Can you please help me in reclaiming my refund?
sadanand
You will have to now apply for refund again I suppose , get this info also by RTI .

Hello Manish,
I just checked the status online. It showed me the status as “Expired Cheque – Refund voucher cancelled. The refund voucher was not deposited for encashment within 90 days from the date of issue. Contact your assessing officer for fresh release of refund”.
I found an email-id(refunds@incometaxindia.gov.in) in their website and when I sent an email, it was not delivered.
Could you please suggest the next steps in this case?
Thanks in advance.
Hello Manish,
Thank you for the helpful post!
I received an email from intimations@cpc.gov.in regarding refund non issuance due to wrong postal address.
It is mentioned as below:
“In case you are making an online request for refund re-issue by cheque, the below information is required to
avail the service at the e-filing website:
i. CPC Reference No. – This is the Communication Reference No. available on the first page of Intimation u/s
143(1) / Rectification Order u/s 154.
ii. Refund Sequence No. – This number is available in the first page or in the table Refund Particulars above
the Notes, in the above mentioned orders.”
Please clarify where to find the Refund Sequence number. I could not find it at all. I sent a mail to ask@incometaxindia.gov.in but no reply. I tried calling the Bangalore office (o80 number) and toll free number (1800). Both did not get connected.
I am stuck because of not being able to find a damn refund sequence number 😀

Hi Manish,
Thank you for hosting such an informative site. Good job!
I am in an odd situation. I am working in a prvt. company. Due to some family emergency I missed the IT proof submission deadline. Now the company is not taking my Investment proofs and deducting the Tax on the basis of the fact that I could not submit any proof. Hence, I did not get even HRA benefits, leave aside investments!
My question is that will I get the refund after filing income tax return? And do I need to submit the proofs? And how do I furnish the investment proofs at the time of filing IT return?
Regards,
Ankur

Dont worry so much .. you can mention about investments and HRA while filing tax returns , you will get the tax refund

While randomly surfing i got your site. It is really helpful. I really appreciate your efforts. Can you please help me understanding the Tax refund status:
Mode of Payment Reference Number Status Date*
ECS The Refund has not been sent through Refund Banker Refund is already credited to your bank, please contact your bank Mar 14, 2008.
I am not sure whether it is credited or not, but i have not received any amount. Here no reference in the above status, nothing like as you method in your post.
Please help me.
Once again thanks for your post.
Uday

Manish

Manvendra
You can contact them on the contact details and request for the information , or use RTI for this
Manish thanks for answering my questions. Can you write an article on how to use the switching options in ULIPs? To full realize the potential of ULIPs it is essential to use the switching options. But most folks are either not aware of it or do not know when to make switches (that includes me too :). Such an article would be a great help. Again thanks for the great work that you are doing.
Rahul
When to make a switch in ULIP’s is same as “Finding out, when markets are low and whne they are high” . That itself is the whole field and I dont think there can be just a small tutorial for that. You need to be a market expert in that .

Manish,
That is correct. All the money for the investments was from her PF. I have another question. Is short term capital gain tax 15% irrespective of whether the person has any other income or not? If you take my wife’s case, she has no income now. So for short term capital gains that she makes from her investments, does she have to file returns?
Rahul
Then only she is liable for taxation , you dont come into picture .. and this 15% tax is only if the overall income limit is above 1.8 lacs in her case .
Manish
Manish,
My wife recently quit working. She withdrew her PF and put part of it in an FD. The rest she puts into shares. Now the interest that she earns from the FD and the profits she makes from stocks, do I have to pay taxes on these?
Rahul
I assume that the money used for those investments came from your WIFE PF and her stocks, in which case you dont have to pay the tax , you come into picture only if the source of funds is from your pocket !
I filed my I. Tax Return before due date manually for AY 2011-2012.
Do I have to wait till 31 – 03 -2012 before I can expect the refund cheque.
Sudhir
When you do not do it online, then it takes couple of months like 10-12 months , sometimes even more
Thanks Manish,
I need to move to online for future.
hi,i did not rec my tax refund of assessment year 2009-10 because of my wrong address.my refund cheque got sent back what do i need to do? plzzreply
Surinder
There are contact details given in the article , contact there !
I’ve been e-filing for the last 4 years. For 3 of these years, there has been a refund due.
When I check at CPC, it says the case has been transferred to the jurisdiction office. They are unable to tell me why. The jurisdiction office, for some reason, has not changed, even though the last time I filed a return with that address was 3-4 years back.
My attempts to take this further are now stuck, because I don’t know anyone in that city to follow up in that local office.
For financial year 2009-10, finally, there is an update as on Jan 25th, 2012 – “Adjusted against outstanding demand. (CIN-BSR code 0004329 Challan deposit date – 24012012 Challan Sequence no – xxxxx)”
Anyone has any clue what this is? I have not received any communication from the deptt. about any demand. (at least on my email address – anything sent to a previous physical address- who knows!)
For other years, it keeps saying that refund banker has not received refund order.
People keep receiving refunds within 2-3 months of filing. I’ve yet to see a refund in 4 years 🙁
Better ask this on jagoinvestor.com/forum

You will have to contact the tax department and investigate why this happened ? May be the postal department was not able to find out the address
hi manish,
i m a regular reader of ur articles.
as return filing time is up ahead , hats off to you for yet another nice article at the right time.
well i have sm queries.
1. i hv bought a house for 35 lacs, for which i took 26 lacs of loan frm HDFC, can i get exemption of 1 lac capital and 1.5 lac interest paid that means a total of 2.5 lacs.
2. if suppose i buy a second house can i realy get full interest exemption .
3 if my wife and i become the co-owner of the house can v both get exemption of unlimited interest seperately.
4. if my wife was a co-owner of my first house (which is not the case as i m the only owner of my first house) cud v hv both enjoyed the exemption of 1 lac for capital and 1.5 lac interest paid separately.
5. one more thing about filing of return: as per now i m filing a return thru a CA who is taking 12 %of refund money as he brings the cheque. one benefit of this thing that he surely brings the chaeque in abut 5-6 months, can it be safe to go for ECS option for refund. what if the money is not refunded or delayed because i can run to get money back as i remain very busy.
Applied for CIBIL TransUnion Score (Including CIR) today. Payment done using credit card- No Issues faced. But there was nowhere to upload the ID and Address proofs requested, so wondering what to do about it??
Also, though I have held/hold many credit cards but I entered information only about 2 under the assumption that they need it for PAN and other accounts correlation/verification purpose and once verified they’ll be able to fetch my other accounts details too. Hope that is okay!!
Now just waiting to get my credit score with fingers crossed. 🙂
Manish- I am planning for a home loan in near future, can I leverage this CIBIL report (hoping it comes out good) for negotiating on interest rates or anything? I mean in India, do the banks (nationalised or private) really give enough weightage to this report?
Umang
When you apply for your CIBIL score online, you dont need to upload those documents ,you mention those documents so that incase of failure in payment, you can send the same documents via post to them to get your score .
Now, if you have a good score ,you can really negotiate your interest rate or atleast ask them to waive off processing charges and ask them for faster disbursement of your loan , You can also tell them that you have some relative at Some XYZ bank and he was saying that you can get better interest rates at their banks.
Manish
Hi Manish,
Thanks for your response.
I have got my Credit Score- 795/900. How do you think is it? Can I really use this score for negotiations anywhere?
Also, to be frank I was expecting a real good score since I have never defaulted my credit card payments and have taken no loan in the past. Thus, I am really wondering why my score has come low as 795!!
The report is so huge, I am hardly able to make out anything from it other than my score. There are not even any reasons stated on the report describing why this score!! How am I supposed to improve this score unless I know where it went wrong?
Regards,
Umang
Umang
795 is a good score . Dont worry too much , but definately a much higher score is better . How old is your credit history ? Because a good score comes when there is good history , if it has been just 1-2 yrs , then your score might be less because of that . Keep paying your dues on time and make sure you utilise your credit behaviour too . It will improve over time . Also find out more on how to read the CIBIL score, its there on net
Manish
Manish I have been holding and using credit cards for almost 5 years now, so not really sure why the credit score is low though I never defaulted!!
BTW what is the best score anyone can get that you might be aware of?
and What do you mean by utilizing credit behaviour?
Umang
750+ is a good score . Credit behaviour means how you are using your credit compared to what you are given . If you have 5 credit cards, thats a problem , what does that show ? It shows that you are credit hungry (it might not be true, but thats how its looked at)
Manish
Hi Manish,
Nice article. I have a query regarding income tax refund claim. I have only salary+interest income, which means i can use Sahaj (ITR-1) form for return filing. In case i was unable to provide rent details to my employer, how do i claim a refund while filing return using ITR-1 ? ITR-1 has only fields for writing 80* deductions, and nothing for HRA claim !
Secondly, what should i fill in Circle/Ward field ? Is it mandatory to fill the same as last year (or whatever it shows on IT website under jurisdiction section) ? Is it possible that last year i filed the return under CPC bangalore ward, and this time i file from another ward say in Noida ?
Thanks in advance !
Ritesh
In that case you dont need ITR 1 , choose a form which also has place to mention refund
Manish
Hi Manish,
I checked all the forms, none of them have Section 10 (13A) for HRA provision. I think ITR-1 should suffice, and we may have to deduct calculated HRA exemption from total income!
Any clue on the ward/circle query ?
Thanks.
Hi,
I shifted my residence during April,2011 & my refund cheque was returned back in the month of May-2011. In the meanwhile I have changed my address with IT thru my Consultant vide a letter & supported by PAN address changed with the new.
Still as on date I have not received my refund cheque in my new address.
On consulting my consultant they say f.up on. In such circumstance what should i do.
Please reply.
Rajit
this refund thing takes a lot of times sometimes .. so you have to be patient
Manish
Great info Suresh bhai,
can U solve 1 of my queries plz? I would like to talk to U if U r ok with it.
Dear Manish
Please note that there is no rule in IT Act, if you delay the income tax return filing, in that case you will lose the refund money. I filed always return after due date and got refund in the next AY. Currently I filed the return on 25 Aug’2011 and got refund in Dec’11. Last date of filing return does not mean you lose refund money, if you delay the IT return and attract any penalty, if you file the same till in the next AY. Subsqueant, AO may impose Rs 5000 as penalty for non filing of return, if your tax liability arises and not deposited on time. Hence, last date of filing of return means, if you have any outstanding tax liability, you do deopsit the same before or on last date of filing of return, otherwsie, you would have to deposit
with interest @ 1.5% p.m. and there is no other issue.
Happy tax filing return
Suresh
yea .. there is mistake in what i wrote , you acutally loose the interest part on refund amount incase you file return late 🙂
Thanks for pointing that out
Manish
Manish,
“you acutally loose the interest part on refund amount incase you file return late” even this statement is also wrong. Even I was in the same impression till sometime back. I’ve got interest for the refund amount even after I filed my returns after sept. Even in the rule book and from some CA’s I got this info that you will lose interest but IT dept is still paying interest for that.
This is in Reply to comment of Utpal………U can give ur present address in ITR from if it is different from PAN address….i am doing this since last 2 years and i m getting refund cheque at my new address.
Not sure mate i did provide my present address but they sent it to an address where i used to live 6 yrs back when i got my PAN card and the CPC callcenter folks asked to update the PAN address and after doing it they sent it to the new address.
ECS refund is convenient and we can avoid the difficulties of collecting or accepting the cheque, deposit it in time etc.
Jerry
That happens if the proper bank info is given
Manish
Hi Manish & fellow JIans,
I am getting these messages for all the assessment years since 2007. I started working from Sep’2006 onwards.
a. Your assessing officer has not sent
this refund to Refund Banker.
b. If this refund has been sent by
your Assessing Officer within the
last week, you may wait for a week
and again check status.
This is because your IT returns are not processed by your assessing officer. If you have a copy of IT returns submitted then go to the ward office mentioned on that and give an application for processing them. This happens because of several reasons, so we cant for what reason it was stopped.
This is applicable only for manual IT Returns submission not for online returns filing.
Thanks Mr Kanreddy… fortuantely I have all the return copies which I submitted maually till 2011… so I should go to the IT office in Jamnagar (I work here), meet the Ward Officer to sort out this issue …
Thanks Manish for guiding me. As far as returns are concerned, I think whatever is deducted from my salary in a year comes back (all or a portion of it) if I submit proofs of tax-saving investments I guess.
I filed my IT return manually on June’ 2013. The Assessing Officer sent my refund from ITD on 30th September to the refund banker/cpc (whatsoever it is) for payment (Assessment year- 2013-2014), but there is not refund status showing in the TIN site. What could be the reason for this delay?
I dont think there is any reason. The thing is govt websites are not that great in updating your status . File a RTI and you will get exact status !
Saurav
Was there any refund in your case ?
For any refund related query the tax payer should contact Aaykar Sampark Kendra at 0124 2438000 or email at the id’s given in the article .
For refund related query/ or any modification in refund record relating to Return processed at CPC Bangalore, the CPC may be contacted by the taxpayer on 1-8004252229 or 080-43456700
Hi,
I am getting following message against my refund status “Unable to credit refund as the account number provided by you is incorrect”.
Could you please let me know to whom should I contact to update my account number?
You should be contacting the help desk of SBI’s at toll free number: 18004259760 or email them at itro@sbi.co.in or refunds@incometaxindia.gov.in
Thanks Manish
In the blog post, its mentioned that the income tax refund will not be received, if the return of income is filed late. However, this is an incorrect opinion and I would like to bring to your kind attention that, even if a taxpayer files a delayed return of income, he will still be eligible to get a refund if its due to him.
Amit
Yea .. i wanted to write “interest will be lost on refund money if late filing is done” . I have corrected it now . thanks for pointing it out
Manish
If refund exist, interest part would be there …..either itr filed original/revised or belated….I have filed about 100 of itr in the month of march and the people eligible for refund , got interest too
Manish,
Just a humble suggestion. Please hide PAN numbers in the screen shot. You may prevent some misuse of them.
Thanks for the article.
Ashish
thats a random PAN number . I have it from lakhs of PAN floating around on web . But yea .. next time I will mark it black
Thank a lot Manish. It is really helpful.
Great info Manish.
Just want to put one more information… that we can even call on Toll Free Number of Central Processing Centre (CPC) – Bengaluru :- 18004252229 to check the status of Returns.
But the information present here about SBI was new to me. I guess, its CPC who process the returns and disburse through SBI. Plz correct me if I am wrong.
Dear Manish,
What need to be done if the cheque is returned due to change in address
what need to be done to update the address for communication.
Well what i realized is even if you correct your address while filing your returns they will still consider the address you mentioned while applying for your PAN card. So in my case i had to update my PAN Card by changing the address, then there is form which needs to be sent to IT dept, CPC B’lore in my case and there you need to mention your old address and your new address and also if you want the money to be credited online, you can request the same in that form by providing the bank details and a cancelled cheque.
