ITR not filed or refund stuck for months? Our CA team handles ITR filing, refund follow-ups, and income tax notices end-to-end.
Why is My ITR Refund Delayed?
- ITR not e-verified: Your return must be e-verified within 30 days of filing. Unverified returns are treated as invalid.
- Bank account not pre-validated: Your bank account must be pre-validated on the IT portal for ECS credit.
- Mismatch in income or TDS: If your ITR data doesn't match Form 26AS or AIS, the CPC may issue a notice before processing the refund.
- Defective return: If you filed the wrong ITR form, you'll receive a notice u/s 139(9) to resubmit.
- High refund amount: Large refunds may require additional scrutiny and manual processing.
How to Expedite Your Refund
- Ensure your return is e-verified immediately after filing
- Pre-validate your bank account on the portal
- Respond promptly to any notices (143(1), 139(9))
- Raise a refund re-issue request if refund failed due to bank details mismatch
