After filing ITR, taxpayers are waiting for refund. According to the Finance Minister, the Income Tax Department now processes the refund in 10 days. There are many taxpayers who filed ITR in June itself, but the refund has not come yet…
ITR Refund status Check: As soon as the month of July arrives, taxpayers across the country start filing Income Tax Returns (ITR). But after filing the return, the real wait begins – for the refund. Some people had filed ITR in June itself. They hoped that the refund would come to their account in a few days. But July started and no message came. In such a situation, many people have a question in their mind that how long does it take for the refund to come?
Now refund in just 10 days
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman recently said that the Income Tax Department is now processing refunds in an average of 10 days. This change has been made possible due to automation and process improvement. However, tax experts say that this is the average time, someone may get a refund in 3 days, while someone may take 3 weeks.
Many taxpayers file ITR on time, but due to some small mistakes the refund gets stuck.
- If you do not do e-verification, the return will not be processed.
- If PAN and Aadhaar are not linked, the system can stop your filing.
- TDS mismatch or wrong bank details also cause delay in refund2.
- Ignoring the mail or notice sent by the Income Tax Department can also stop the refund.
How to track refund status online?
- If you want to know where your refund is stuck, login to the income tax portal
- Go to the ‘e-File’ section and select ‘Income Tax Returns’
- Select the assessment year and form
- Click on ITR Acknowledgment Number
The refund status will appear on the screen—like ‘Refund Issued’, ‘Processed with refund’ or ‘No refund due’
Why does the money get stuck?
Some people who filed ITR said that they had not done e-verification. As soon as they completed this process with Aadhaar OTP, the refund came to their account within a few days.
- E-verify immediately after filing ITR.
- Check PAN-Aadhaar link.
- Keep bank details updated.
- Match TDS details with Form 26AS.

A little caution and the right information can make this journey easier. And yes, next time don’t just wait after filing ITR—understand the system, track the status and get the refund smartly.
