Income Tax Refund and Right to Information Act (RTI)

October 22, 2020 29601 Views 17 comments Print

If there is one area in the income-tax administration which has remained perennially incurable, it is the Refunds, we shows you an easy way to solve the problem. In a Press Release dated April 19, 2007, the Central Board of Direct Taxes stated: “It has been reported in some sections of the media that a large number of taxpayers are awaiting refunds from the income-tax department for up to three years. These reports are factually incorrect and based on incomplete appraisal of facts”. As per the statement made by Minister of State for Finance, there have been instructions to issue refunds within four months from the date of receipt of return and dispatched within 30 days from the date of signing the refund order. I am sure most readers would doubt the correctness of the above Press Release and Statement. You may not have received refunds for one or more earlier years despite many reminders, personal visits, and grievance-cell applications. It is a helpless and hopeless situation.
