Dear Experts. This is just a general query. We have filed and e-verified my aunts ITR1 on new portal. There's refund. However the question is - Is this new portal going to speed up the return processing time? If so has anyone like finance ministry or IT dept stated any timelines?

Or can we expect same time of 3 - 4 months before return is successfully processed by IT Department, as with previous years? Thanks.

Quick Summary

This discussion queries whether the new income tax portal has improved the processing time for ITR refunds. While the Finance Minister previously stated refunds could be cleared within 24 hours, users report that the process remains similar to previous years, often taking 1-2 months. There's no clear indication that the new portal has significantly sped up return processing times.
