Income Tax Return: Details About How To Check The Refund Status Online

0

Tax payers often end up paying more tax than they are supposed to due to various reasons. Sometimes the employers deduct more tax than they should due to miscalculations, at other times, individuals might do it on purpose to cover all bases. However, it is not as big of a problem as it seems, as tax payers can always apply for a refund and fund exemptions on their Income Tax Return (ITR). ITR refunds are granted when the tax paid is higher than the amount they are liable to pay.

Over 5.82 crore people have filed their ITR till July 31, 2022, which was the last day for filing it for the financial year 2021-2022. The people who had filed the returns by the due date should have received the refund which is transferred into the bank account. However, if the refund has not yet been done, it can obviously be a cause of worry.

If a tax payer has submitted their ITR for FY 2021-2022 and their account is not liable to getting audited, they are entitled to get a refund in case of excessive payment. The income tax department allows tax payers to check the refund status online 10 days after filing the return.
