I have been e-filing my ITR for past 6-7 years. I got transferred to my company's office in the US in April 2015 and hence submitted my IT return for FY 2015-16 as a NRI and had claimed a tax refund. The CPC has transferred my return to the AO as it cannot verify some details related to my foreign income.

How should I contact the AO for my PAN from the US to request refund? Does the AO process all ITRs transferred to them or do we need to follow-up with them individually? Is there an alternative AO for NRIs?

Generally, files with foreign transactions/income are transferred to the assessees' jurisdictional AO for cross verification manually; as the same is not posible with CPC. If during verification the entries found OK, the ITR gets processed automatically, without any efforts from the assessee. If any clarification needed, you may be contacted by E-mail and also in writing at the given local address in ITR. In that case you will be required to submit the clarification with any documentary proofs etc, in person or through your agent/attorney/CA. Till then no need to worry, but just wait.
