After how many days the tax refund is issued after filing ITR? The biggest question is for taxpayers. Let us tell you that in the last financial years, tax refund has been issued within 30 days of filing ITR. In the financial year 2021-22, the time taken to issue tax refund was only 26 days. Whereas, according to the Central Board of Direct Taxes, tax refund can be issued in 16 days due to the acceleration of all ITR related processes using technology.
It is necessary to e-verify ITR
The Income Tax Department has started issuing tax refunds to certain taxpayers who file and verify ITR on time. In such a situation, if you have not received the refund, then first of all you have to check whether your ITR has been e-verified or not. If not done then you will not get refund. Because in the absence of e-verify, the Income Tax considers the ITR filing process incomplete and does not process the return. If your ITR has been e-verified, yet the refund has not come, then you have to check your status.
