5 reasons for not getting your income tax refund

The deadline for salaried income taxpayers to file their income tax returns (ITRs) was July 31.

Some individuals have not received their ITR refunds yet, and it's important to investigate the causes of these delays.

Possible reasons for ITR refund delays include ongoing processing, scrutiny by the I-T Department, inaccurate bank account information, the need for supplementary documentation, and false or fabricated information.

The standard processing time for ITR refunds is typically 10 days, but this duration can vary.

Taxpayers can check their refund status through the Income Tax website or by sending an SMS with specific details.

If a refund is not processed within the standard timeframe, individuals can contact the Income Tax Department for assistance.

Accurate bank account details are crucial to ensure the refund is credited correctly.

If incorrect bank account information was provided, individuals can request a refund re-issue through the Income Tax website.

Supplementary documentation may be required by the Income Tax Department to process the refund, such as salary slips, Form 16, or investment proofs.
