Income 'Under Process' for prolonged time

This discussion addresses a prolonged 'Under Process' status for an income tax return filed in May 2024, with the refund significantly delayed. The user is concerned about the delay, particularly given the large TCS refund needed for overseas expenses. Expert advice suggests that returns with high refunds, or those involving specific ITR forms or AIS report abnormalities, often take longer to process. It's generally considered normal, and filing a grievance at this stage may not be immediately useful. The delay might be due to risk management protocols, and the taxpayer may receive a communication requesting acceptance or revision.
