Income tax department
It is a matter of relief for the season of filing income tax returns (ITR) and taxpayers whose accounts are not to be audited, this time the deadline of ITR filing has been fixed on 15 September 2025. Please tell that last year this last date was 31 July. This time the taxpayers have started filing returns fast. According to the Income Tax Department, till July 1, more than 75.18 lakh ITRs have been filed, out of which more than 71 lakh have been verified. Now the question arises that when will the income tax refund be available? What 5 days, 10 days or 15 days later? Let's know the answer.
In how many days does the refund come?
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had recently informed that now the Income Tax Department is issuing ITR refund in 10 days. This is the result of automation and system upgrade. However, tax experts believe that this time may vary in every case. Some people get refunds in 8 days, then someone may take 15 days.
*ITR verification is necessary for refund
It is not enough to file just ITR. Until you e-verify it, your file will not process and the refund will not be released. Ways to verify ITR:
- Aadhaar OTP
- Net banking
- Demat account
- E-verification code (EVC)
Online verification causes processing quickly, while delay in offline verification (sending from post) is possible.
What reasons can refund be delayed?
- Not doing e-verification: ITR will not get refunds without verifying.
- PAN and Aadhaar Link: ITR hold may occur if there is no link.
- Disturbances in TDS details: If the TDS information given in ITR does not match Form 26AS or AIS.
- Wrong bank details: Refund may be stuck by mistake in bank account number or IFSC code.
- Not responding to departmental notice: If the department has sent an email or notice and you do not respond, then the refund process can stop.
