ITR Refund: Are you waiting for your ITR refund? Know in how many days you will get your money.. Newspoint | 30/08/2025 19:39:10

ITR Refund: If you have filed your Income Tax Return (ITR) and have also verified it, then you are probably waiting for your refund. A refund is received when you have paid more tax than required. But the question is, how long does it take for the refund to come? Let's understand this in a simple and desi way.

When you file your ITR and e-verify it, the Income Tax Department starts the refund process. Usually, it takes 7 to 21 working days for the refund process to start. According to the tax department, it may take 4 to 5 weeks for the refund to come to your bank account. That is, if everything goes well, then money can come to your account in around a month. But keep in mind, the refund process starts only when you have e-verified your ITR. If verification is not done, the refund may be delayed.

What to do if the refund is not received in 4-5 weeks?

Sometimes, some errors can delay the refund further. For example, if your bank account information is incorrect or there is some other minor mistake, then it may take longer for the refund to come. If you do not get a refund in 4-5 weeks, then you should check your emails. The Income Tax Department sometimes sends notifications through email, which contain information about the error. If your bank account is already pre-validated, then tracking the refund becomes easier.

Refund will come into your bank account.

If we understand the refund process, then it happens in four easy steps. First, you file your ITR. Second, you e-verify it. Third, the tax department processes your return. And finally, if everything goes well, the refund comes to your bank account.

How to check the status of the refund?

For this, you have to go to the Income Tax website. You can visit eportal.incometax.gov.in.

You will have to login with your user ID and password.

After logging in, go to the 'e-file' tab. Then select 'Income Tax Returns' and click on 'View Filed Returns'.

After this, information about your old and new returns will appear on the screen.

From there, you can check the status of your refund by clicking on 'View Details'.

If you have filed ITR and verification has also been done, then be patient.

The refund should come in 4-5 weeks. If not, check the status on the website or look for any message from the department in your email. After correcting the mistakes, the refund can come quickly. Just provide the correct information and complete the process easily.
