Income Tax Refund Kya Hota Hai?
Income tax refund tab milta hai jab aapne zada tax pay kiya ho — jaise TDS ya advance tax — aur aapke total tax liability se zyada tax deduct ho gaya ho. ITR file karne ke baad agar department ko pata chalta hai ki aapne zyada tax diya hai, to refund bank account me transfer kar deta hai.

Income Tax Refund Ka Standard Process (Step-By-Step)
Step 1: ITR File Kare
- Financial Year ke liye ITR file kare
- PAN, salary, TDS aur deductions sahi bharna zaruri hai
Step 2: ITR E-Verify Kare
ITR e-verify na kare to ITR incomplete hi mana jata hai, aur refund stuck ho sakta hai.
Step 3: Department Processing
Income Tax Department aapke return ko process karta hai, mismatches check karta hai, fir refund due nikalta hai.
Step 4: Refund Transfer
Refund bank account me automatically aa jata hai (4–6 weeks typical), ya department notice bhej sakta hai agar koi error ho.
