ITR Refund Quick Process

Under the income tax and other Direct Tax laws, tax refunds arise in those cases where the amount of tax paid by a person (or paid on his/her behalf) is greater than the amount on which he/she is properly chargeable. When you file the return of your income, you can avail tax refund. There are two ways for Eligible taxpayers to check their ITR refund status online:

 

through the official website of the Income Tax Department

Mandatory Requirement: Taxpayer’s PAN.

Login using PAN and user id credentials.

Select the tab ‘My Account’ and click on ‘Refund/Demand Status’.
