How soon after filing ITR can you expect your refund to be issued?
With the filing window now closed for most salaried taxpayers, attention has shifted to income tax refunds. Taxpayers who have filed and successfully e-verified their returns are now awaiting the refund process.
Taxpayers who have filed their income tax returns within the deadline can typically expect to receive their refunds within 4-5 weeks. Once e-verification of the return is completed, the Income Tax Department begins processing the refund. However, this timeline may vary depending on factors such as any discrepancies identified during the assessment process, the taxpayer's method of return filing, and if additional checks are required.
If a refund is not received within this timeframe, taxpayers can check for intimation regarding discrepancies, monitor their email for notifications, or review the refund status through the e-filing process.
