HI, can any one help me to answering my  questions to refund from income tax department, 

I have claimed my Tax Refund for the A.Y. 2008-09 (May-08 I.T Return Date)

but still i am waiting for my refund.  according to income tax act. The excess tax can be claimed as refund by filing your income tax return. It will be refunded by issue of cheque or by crediting to your bank account. The department has been making efforts to settle refund claims within four months from the month of filing return.

but it has passed more than a year time, i have made two written complaint to the IT Commissioner. but still there is no progress, 

can any expert help me to whom should i contact for the further complaint, is there any authority who is looking all this.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Dear Sidhes,

U can see the status of tax refund online on www.tin-nsdl.com & go to status of tax refund. In case there is no information about that it is better to go to the income tax office for checking the status of refund. U shud take urgent action in this repect.

regards,

ratan

Dear Sidhes,

In some of the cities Govt. has also started online portal to check the status of refunds..U can ckeck the websit www.incometaxindia.gov.in

Further, No point in issuing written complaints to commissioner or anyone for that matter, Yoy have to follow up with ur assessing officer by meeting him personaly..

Further refund will be either by cheque or by ECS will depend upon the fact what option u have ticked in the Income Tax Return..

I know this a hardship, but then you should follow up with the AO only..........

Thank you very much, but the thing is in NSDL is showing the amount which i have claimed for refund, but i need the time frame for Refund,  if the ITO is not responding and ITC <ADC also not responding so whom should i contact. 

u have to contact assessing officer by meeting him personaly

I appreciate, but ..sorry to say,  nothing is left, even i have personally given the NSDL Certificate and TDS Certificate to  the ITO and CIT too, but they are saying, it will take some time, (it has already passed one and half year)   that's why i'm looking for the higher authority, where i can put up my complaint, ITO and CIT meeting has been done, if any expert knows the senior authority, please let me know.

Try writting a letter to the A.O, his Commissioner &
