For refund claims up to Rs 5 lakh, taxpayers get direct bank credit within five to seven days of issue of refund. However, there may be other reasons for delay of tax refund. If the tax department raises any clarification or question regarding the filing of income tax return, then it can also be delayed.
Refunds are withheld
According to media reports, according to Shilpa Bhatia, director (direct tax) of AKM Global, refunds are usually withheld if there is a difference in the ongoing assessment for the relevant year or the information held by ITR and the department. If you get any query from the tax department on your mail, then it is very important to answer it without any delay. At the same time, easy mistakes like writing wrong bank account in ITR form can also be the reason for delay in refund.
