How to Check Income-Tax Refund Status Online After Filing Returns
Taxpayers who have filed income-tax returns but not yet received refunds can check their refund status online via the Income Tax Department's e-filing portal. Refunds are processed after return verification and may take four to five weeks to credit. Delays can result from issues like incorrect bank details, inactive accounts, or adjustments against outstanding tax dues. The portal provides detailed status updates, including whether refunds are issued, adjusted, or failed, helping taxpayers track their claims effectively.
