09 September 2023 The assessee filed the original Income tax Return as on 10th July 2023 with a claim of refund.
Subsequently, the assessee filed the revised return as on 27th July, 2023 with a reduced claim of refund.

The portal is showing the return as "Return processing", the date being 10 August, 2023.

1. What is the time limit within which IT department must issue the refund?
