How to Track Delayed Income Tax Refunds and Common Causes for Hold-ups
Taxpayers experiencing delays in receiving income tax refunds can track their status via the Income Tax e-filing portal and the NSDL refund status page. Common reasons for delays include errors or mismatches in bank account details, such as incorrect account numbers or inactive accounts, which prevent refund crediting. The e-filing portal provides updates on the processing stage, from acknowledgement to refund initiation or failure, helping taxpayers understand the status and reduce anxiety.
