time limit is one year from the end of assessment year in which return is filed.
if u filed for 2017 18 during mar 2018 u have time till 31 03 2019

Only 6 months have passed you have filed your ITR.
I have filed on 31/07/2017 it was processed on 10/08/2018. but refund is still pending.

there is no time limit in case of refund .....time limit is given for demand refer sec 143(1) for detail

see whether it is invalid or defective ?

finally i got refund thank you all

good . Still I have to get refund even though I got 143(1) in August last year.

The Income Tax Department processes the income tax return only after they are filed and successfully verified by the taxpayer. The taxpayers are advised to submit their return on time for the speedy processing of the returns.

Let’s discuss in details about the ITR processing: 

1. Income tax return filing

2. ITR verification

3. ITR processing under section 143(1)

4. Status post the ITR processing

Generally, the credit of refund process takes about 20-45 days from the date of e-verification of the income tax return. However, if the acknowledgement has been sent physically to the CPC, it may take a longer time
