The reason for hold on your Income Tax Refund by Risk Management System Process (based on certain risk parameters in the system) may be as under-
1. Any Income Tax Demand is outstanding against you for any earlier assessment year/s & you have not submitted the response. In case of non-response/wrong response, refund will be adjusted u/s.245 to that extent
2. You have submitted Bank Account details for Refund, which is common in one or more ITR/s filed by another Tax Payer/s. e.g. You are joint account holder in the bank along with your son & wife. All of you 3 persons have submitted same bank account for getting refund. However the fact is not known to Income Tax Department’s system. Tax department want to make sure that the correct bank account details have submitted for refund or someone wrongly (intentionally or unintentionally) fed another bank account details.
