Some important points about Income Tax Refund:
1. Note that the income tax refund is valid only if you file your income tax return on time.
2. If you delay the income tax return filing, in that case you will lose the interest on your refund money
3. Filing your tax return online will help you to get tax refund faster than offline return filing. So…go online.
4. The State Bank of India (SBI) is the refund banker to the Income Tax Department (ITD). So State bank of India sends the income tax refunds
5. Refunds are generated in two modes i.e., ECS and paper. If the taxpayer has selected mode of refund as ECS (direct credit in the bank account of the taxpayer) at the time of submission of income return the taxpayer’s bank A/c (at least 10 digits ) and IFSC code of bank branch are mandatory . For taxpayers who have not opted for ECS refund will be disbursed by cheque or demand draft.
6. The status of the refund would be available for tax payers, only 10 days after the refund has been sent by the Assessing Officer to the refund banker.
7. Refund status can be viewed only if you have received an acknowledgement from the IT department of having received the ITR form.
