Income Tax Refund: If a person pays more tax than the tax liability, then he will get income tax refund. This will be possible only when that person files Income Tax Return (ITR) for that year. Apart from this, processing of ITR is necessary by the tax department. The notice will be sent to you by the tax department. This notice is sent under section 143(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
The Government of India has fixed 31 December 2021 as the last date to file this year’s return. For your information, let us tell you that the processing of income tax refund is done by State Bank of India, India’s largest government bank. The refund amount is directly transferred to the bank account nominated by the taxpayer. The account is nominated at the time of filing tax return by Track Speed so always ensure that you have entered your account number and IFSC code correctly. Apart from this, the taxpayer has to pre-validate his bank account on the new income tax e-filing portal of the government and linking it with the PAN bank account is very important.
