Income tax refunds of Rs 44,207 crore have been issued in 1.17 crore cases and corporate tax refunds worth Rs 88,174 crore have been issued in 1,99,481 cases so far, the income tax body said. This includes 83.28 lakh refunds of Assessment Year 2021-22 amounting to Rs 17,266.48 crore.

While most assesses should have filed their Income Tax Returns (ITRs) for the year 2020-21, those who haven’t December 31, 2021 is the last date to do so.

The refund status of your ITR can be checked at the official income tax department website incometax.gov.in using your PAN number.

Usually, delays in refunds occur if there are errors in ITR or a mismatch in details on ITR and those available with the tax department. Taxpayers need to respond promptly if IT Department raises a query. Tax refunds may also be witheld if ITR is rejected due to mistakes like incorrect bank account details in the ITR form.

Justices T.S. Sivagnanam and Sathi Kumar Sukumara Kurup on Wednesday allowed an application filed by the Centre to dispense with production of a certified copy of the judgment passed by Justice Anita Sumanth recently and directed the Registry to list the appeal for admission in the usual course.
