INCOME TAX ALERT! Filed ITR? Check your Income Tax Refund status - Here is how

The Income Tax Department on Wednesday 19 May said that it had issued over Rs 24,792 crore of refunds to more than 15 lakh taxpayers between 1 April 2021 and 17 May 2021.  

So, when can you expect a refund from the Income Tax Department? An income tax refund happens to a taxpayer if he has paid taxes higher than his actual tax liability. When a taxpayer claims a refund in his return of income, the tax department processes such a return. After this, the taxpayer will get a confirmation from CPC of the quantum of refund that the taxpayer is eligible for.
