Tax Refund

What is a Tax Refund?

A tax refund is a reimbursement to a taxpayer of any excess tax amount paid to the central government. This can be in the form of tax deduction at source (TDS), advance tax, self-assessment tax, tax collected at source, foreign tax credit etc.

 If you get a tax refund, it usually means you overpaid your taxes last year. Now day’s mostly sole proprietors, Partnership, LLP or Private Limited companies are the most eligible for getting an income tax refund.

The reason a taxpayer get a refund

·        Some salaried person forgot to give tax-saving details to his HR team & they deducted TDS as per income tax slab

·        Some time, taxpayer-paid tax-saving instruments in the month of March. That time company does not accept the details and the company asked for file your return and get a refund

·        In the case of taxable income below exemption limit & taxpayer have TDS credited in his 26 statement

·        In the case of extra advance tax paid to the government and at the timing of income tax filing income is below as taxpayer expected in that case taxpayer will get a tax refund.

Process of getting an income tax refund

 There is no separate process of getting an income tax refund due to the taxpayer. The taxpayer simply files income tax returns as per his nature of income and ensure his return is electronically verified through Adhar OTP, EVC generated through a bank account or physically submitted to CPC department Bangalore within 120 days of return filing.

 After processing your Income-tax return CPC department will determine your tax refund and you will get intimation through SMS and email. In between, if you have any previous outstanding tax demand with the income tax department then this tax refund amount will adjust with that outstanding tax demand under section 245. So always check if you have any previous dues.

Sometimes bank account and IFSC code entered in ITR is not matching with the system that time your tax refund hold with the department. After completion of true and correct details in the tax department then you will get a tax refund amount.
