Your Tax refund in Bank Account

If you've filed your return and are waiting for a tax refund, here’s how to check what might be causing the delay and how long it could take.

What is a tax refund?

You’re eligible for a refund when the total tax paid or deducted is more than your actual tax liability.

Common reasons for refund delays

• Bank Account not validated: You can only receive a refund in a pre-validated bank account. Verify this in your Income Tax Department (ITD) account.
  
  

• E-Verification Pending: Refunds are processed only after your return is e-verified. Make sure you’ve completed this step.
  
• ITD intimation: If you receive an update from ITD about discrepancies in your return, your refund may be delayed or adjusted. Keep an eye out for any emails or messages from ITD.

How long does it take?

Once everything is in order, refunds are typically credited to your bank account within 4–5 weeks. You can track the status of your refund using this tool.
