Here’s how to check your income tax refund status

Why may your income tax refund get stuck?
- Sometimes the refund is not received even after the release of money from the Income Tax Department.
- In cases of income tax refund getting stuck, there can often be a mistake in the details of the bank account.
- If you have entered your account details incorrectly while filling the form, your tax refund may get stuck.
- In such a situation, you have to correct the details of the account on the website of the Income Tax Department.
- After that you will again be eligible for this refund.
- Once the department assesses your verified ITR, you will not get any refund.
- Under section 143(1) of the Income Tax Act, the notice will show whether the tax department will give you a refund or not.
- If the notice shows you refund then it will be issued, if the notice shows zero refund then it means that your refund claim was not accepted. This situation occurs when your calculations do not match with the department’s calculations.
- Your refund has been processed by the department, but you have not received it due to wrong bank details. So you can request the department to re-issue it after providing the correct bank details.
- Once you have filed and verified your ITR, regularly check the status of your return to see if you have claimed refund.
- This helps you track your ITR processing and refund. It also helps in ascertaining whether you have committed any mistake while filing the return.
