I filed my AY 2007-08 return on  30/07/2007 physically at ward.

On 29/05/2009 i received letter from AO that assesment is over  and asking me for bank details to credit Refund.

I went to the ward office and gave bank details and MICR code immediately and the computer operator fed into the system and told me that i will get refund in 8 days. After that i completely forgot about it.

A few days back when i was arranging return and refund file  i noticed that i did not receive assesment order and refund in bank.  I went to the ward office and asked for the details. The refund order was stuck up in Range migration in 2009. Refund amount that time was 1090 plus rs 80  interest.  

My question is that they delayed the payment for  6 years.  Whether i deserve  rs 1170 or  1090 plus interest for 6 years. Under what law can i   proceed. I will be getting refund in 7 days now. Thanks
