Income tax return has been selected under risk management process

There is difference between pending income tax refund and pending assessment of return. 
The press note says IT dept will "release pending income tax refunds". In my opinion, its only applicable where return was already processed but bank account was not credited with refund due to some reasons. The press note did not say that IT dept will "process all the income tax returns" immediately .
In most of the cases, like yours, the present status is that assessment of IT return is pending. Only once assessment is completed, that it is determined that whether refund is payable (and consequently, pending) or if there is a tax demand.
If I were you, I will not raise my hope.  

Will we get the refund?

Has anyone received the return post submission of this with option #1?

Hi 

I have also received the mail for risk assessment and received last year as well. They announce on 8th April they will be releasing refund and now another notice.

Tax payer and some tax consultant file ITR showing incorrect claim like increased amount of 80c deduction, wrong HRA claim, lower salary etc to get refund. computer cross check it from TDS return filed by employer and suspend processing of ITR and it is to be transferred to jurisdictional assessing officer for manual scrutiny in which tax payer has to submit proof of their claim and if found incorrect penalty may be levied. So if refund claim is correct then reply yes if it is incorrect then file revised return.Contact me for any queries.
