Income Tax Return: The number of income tax payers in the country is increasing continuously. People also get reports after filing tax returns.
If you had also filed Income Tax Return (ITR), then check whether the refund has been received in your account or not. Recently, the Income Tax Department said that between April 1, 2021 and February 28, 2022, it has released tax refunds worth more than Rs 1.83 lakh crore.
According to the information given by the department, in these refunds 2.07 crore individual taxpayers were given Rs 65,938 crore and 2.30 lakh units were given Rs 1.17 lakh crore corporate tax refund. When tax is deducted from the income of a person in excess of the prescribed limit, then he becomes eligible for refund. For this, ITR has to be filed with the Income Tax Department.
