Know Your Income Tax Refund Status Online

Tracking the status of your income tax refund online is a convenient way to stay updated on when you can expect to receive your refund. The ‘Refund Banker Scheme,’ which commenced from 24th Jan 2007, is now operational for Non-corporate taxpayers assessed in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Bhubaneswar, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Pune, Patna, Cochin, Trivandrum, Chandigarh, Allahabad, and Kanpur. This scheme ensures that refunds are efficiently processed and disbursed to taxpayers.

In the ‘Refund Banker Scheme’ the refunds generated on processing of Income tax Returns by the Assessing officers/ CPC-Bangalore are transmitted to State Bank of India, CMP branch, Mumbai (Refund Banker) on the next day of processing for further distribution to taxpayers.

Refunds are being sent in following two modes:

i. RTGS / NECS: To enable credit of refund directly to the bank account, Taxpayer’s Bank A/c (at least 10 digits), MICR code of bank branch and correct communication address is mandatory.

ii. Paper Cheque: Bank Account No, Correct address is mandatory.

Taxpayers can view status of refund 10 days after their refund has been sent by the Assessing Officer to the Refund Banker – by entering ‘PAN’ and ‘Assessment Year’ below.

Other Refunds

Status of ‘paid’ refund, being paid other than through ‘Refund Banker,’ can also be viewed at www.tin-nsdl.com by entering the ‘PAN’ and ‘Assessment Year’ .

‘Refund paid’ status is also being reflected in the ‘Tax Credit Statements’ in Form 26AS.

Please enter your Permanent Account Number and Assessment Year for which status of refund is to be tracked at the link given below.

    I have received information that my ITR is processed and the refund is approved on jan23, 2021. Then I checked the refund status on tin.ndsl using my pan number. It’s says the following

    TDS (u/s 195) has been deducted by Income Tax Department from payment of Interest on Refund u/s 244A. Feb 19, 2021

    Then I also made sure that my bank account was validated. I have since writing to
    email at :- itro@sbi.co.in and have received no response also called several times and still no response. It’s really strange that I have not been paid back my refund and there seems to be no concern. Is this a regular occurrence in India and it’s tax department. Can anyone please guide me how to get my money. Thank you

    Dear Sir/ Madam,
    i am living with a problem of IT refund for my tax deducted while I was working in Mumbai and the filing of return year is 2010-11.
    In fact they had returned but since i was an NRE the account number in the bank was mis interpreted for the account and my house address and the cheque went back. (it was my kerala address of my house).
    Currently I have got an account at bangalore and the Axis bank.
    At present I am an NRE and I am not able to follow up.
    I had tried through many sources but so far no proper redressal.
    The last heard was something as a silver lining is that the income tax department is that the amount is intact and was done on the public query at the Bangalore IT processing center in the month of June 2014 after the response sheet updated was in tact.
    If there is a way to help, i would like to get the help professional and i would be grateful to your esteemed office.
    Please reply.
    Yours sincerely.
    Mangat VK Kannan.

  15. NKumar says:

    I have filed manually my income tax return for assessment year 2008-2009 with following details:
     Date: 31-July-2008
     PAN NO: APLPK2948D
     Circle: Ward 2( H-N )
     Refund Amount: Rs. 10506/- As per ITR-I
     REFUND UNDELIVERD STATUS [www.tin-nsdl.com]: The refund banker has not send this refund to banker.
     Contact to payment related query at SBI at 18004259760 & email at itro@sbi.co.in: As a response, please contact Aaykar Sampark Kendra – AO Noida for processing

    Just to inform you that I was out of country during this period and verified with records that I did not receive this refund by any mode to my address/bank.
    So now I requested to my Noida ward Accessing Office to process my refund for AY 2008-2009. Already verified with old TMS system that the outstanding is valid and it is associated with my PAN.

    There are number of visits which I already made to income tax office Noida to process my outstanding refund but unable to make/Initiate it.
    Now officer told me to come in next visit with following documents for further processing. Still he did not accept my request application.
    Following lists of documents to initiate this process. Is it realistic?
    Documents:
     Rs 100/- Notary stamp paper Indemnity bond stating that I have not filled any revise return: (If system is saying that there is no another return for this year then why officer is asking for this)
     All my banks statement from 2008 – till date (That period salary account is already closed so how can I give that statement, also why my all other banks statement is required for this)
     Cancel cheque – a valid demand
     PAN card copy – a valid demand
     Original ITR-I – a copy of it should be required not the original as I have only proof.
     Address proof – a valid demand

    He told me without this he will not initiate. Although I am giving the only proof which is required to initiate the same.

    Now I am totally confused to whom I should contact to resolve this issue. Now raising this with you.
    Please help me in this matter and guide me for the actual process
