As we all are aware that, currently the refund shall be issued to the pre-validated bank account only. There can be instances such as incorrect bank account details, incorrect address, IFSC Code and so on due to which the CPC has rejected the refund of the taxpayer and communicated through email. In such cases of refund failure, taxpayer can raise the service request for Refund Re-issue in e-Filing portal.
Two modes of issuing Income Tax Refunds:
- By crediting the Income Tax refund amount in Assesse Bank account if the taxpayer has correctly mentioned the Bank account details in Income Tax Return.
- By sending the Income Tax refund cheque if taxpayer has correctly submitted Bank Account details in Income Tax Return.
