Income Tax Refund cheque issued by CPC Bangalore Returned undelivered or not been credited due to wrong account info, expired cheque etc?

Now days Assessee who file their Income tax Return online gets their refund cheque issued by CPC Bangalore. Refunds are issued by two modes:-

1. By crediting the refund amount in Assessee’s bank account if the Assessee has correctly mentioned his bank details in Income tax Return Filed by him.

2. By sending Income Tax Refund Cheque if Assessee failed to submit or correctly mention his bank account details in Income tax Return filed by him.

In case of Physical cheques there may be chances that after filing of Income tax Return Assessee has moved to new address and his Income tax Refund cheque issued by CPC Bangalore returned back for non-delivery.  There may also be a chance that although address is not changed but Assessee could not receive the refund order as no one was there on the day when cheque was delivered or Refund cheque returned undelivered by the postal department as the house was locked.

Further in case Assessee has applied for ECS but has entered wrong account details or account of which details been entered is closed and ECS to such account been failed.

Tax Refund

In such cases one question arises what Assessee should do to request reissue of Refund cheque or how to request Credit of that account in his bank account and how to intimate the change in address?

    If your refund amount is below Rs:50000 you can put refund re-issue request through ECS mode or else you need to request cheque to your new address.

    Dear Sir, I am a Non resident residing in Singapore past 20 years. I have taken my pan card with Singapore address and all my ITR filed with singapore address as NRI.
    Now my tax refund are unable to get credited directly to my bank a/c in India because amount is above 50000 . When asking to reissue by cheque they say can not send as my address is foreign address. I do not have any India address .SO what is the way to get refund. When i Invest in India, they dont ask for India address but for refund why india address. Seems need to file a law suit against Income tax dept for this kind of
    senseless approach. even if they send rupee cheque to my singapore address, I have to send it back to India only to my bank for clearing so where is the problem.I asked to send my representative to collect cheque but that also they refuse. so what should I do. can anybody assist and ready to pay cost reasnably.

  3. hemant says:

    hi,
    I received a cheque for my refund of AY14-15 but lost it before i could deposit it in my bank. As the refund amount was higher that Rs.50000 i didn’t get a direct credit in my bank account. As it has been more than three months since i received the cheque, i know that it has expired.
    I have now tried to request re-issue of refund but on filling in the details i get the message “There is no refund failure. This may be due to no refund being due or refund being delivered successfully.”
    Can you please advise me how can i get another cheque issued for the same.
    Thank you.

    I had filed the ITR manually for FY 2009-10. A refund is expected for this year. But
    checking on Income Tax website does show any refund for this year. I have sent 2-3 E-mails to A.O., whose E-mail address is available through link “Know your Jurisdictional A.O” on IT e-filing website by entering my PAN number. I have received no
    reply from A.O. Unfortunately, I can not visit him/her as now I am settled in Bangalore & ITR was filed when I was in Delhi. I have changed my address also to Bangalore address in PAN card & was hoping that files will be moved to Bangalore & new A.O. will be allotted to me in Bangalore. Kindly suggest, how to get the refund?

  5. vswami says:

    OFFHAND

    Should refund , by mistake have been issued, wrongly or through
    an oversight or otherwise, despite having on record the fact that the named ‘refundee’ is no more, then, as it appears, applying for and procuring a fresh RO by the LR may be fraught with problem/delay.

    Open to be enlightened, by tax experts having field experience, at large, if that should not be so.

    For an appreciation of own critical view, look up the comments posted
    @ How to register as a Legal Heir on Income Tax e-filing
    website and the TABLE (Item 7, Refund Reissue – No) therein.

  6. Poornima Srinivasan says:

    But now i want to raise request to get same amount.It is possible?

    If yes then how? PLEASE HELP.

    thanks.

  35. Rajiv says:

    The information in your article is incomplete.
    Refund cheques upto a certain value only (Rs. 20000/-, if i am not wrong) are deposited in bank accounts- above this value, for some inexplicable reason,are sent by post only even when you have correct bank account details in your ITR. There is no logical explanation for this available.
    Also SBI,the agency responsible for refund, gets a certain amount per cheque sent by post. (It is not clear whether SBI decides if the refund is to be directly credited or mailed ,if amount is above a certain limit.)
    This procedure also encourages corruption as the postman will often hand over the speedpost envelope only after getting the’bakshish’.
