Income Tax Refund: How can taxpayers check income tax refund status online, know step-by-step guide here

Income Tax Refund: Taxpayers who have filed ITR by the last date will now have to wait for their refund. In such a situation, if it is taking more than 4-5 weeks, then they can check the status of the refund online.

Income Tax Refund: Taxpayers who have filed income tax returns must be wondering when the refund will come to their account. On the other hand, taxpayers who have not filed returns yet can file delayed returns by paying a penalty till December 31, 2024.

Normally it takes four to five weeks for the Income Tax Department to issue a refund. But when the refund does not arrive in the taxpayer’s account, it is necessary to check the information received from the Income Tax Department.

But, in case there is any query from the Income Tax Department or the department rejects your return saying it is incomplete, keep checking any information received from the Income Tax Department.

If this has not happened to you and the refund amount has not been transferred to your account, then you must check the status of your refund.
