ITR2 Processing Delay

Although it’s unusual after 4+ months, delays do happen — especially for ITR-2 with more complexity. Given that there is a statutory “up to nine months” window (from end of financial year) to complete processing, your return might still get processed. That said, it’s reasonable to follow up, considering your wife’s return was done much earlier.

Itr2 filed 11 aug 25....new regime...no refund...self assessment tax paid...till 30 nov 25 not processed

This time ITD taking more time for process ITR. special refund cases and itr 2, 3

Till today not processed

Itr2....new regime. 11/8 filed....no deduction...no refund

Anybody in same boat?

..

Self - ITR3 - filed 19 July - no refund claimed - processing still pending
Brother - ITR3 - filed 19 July - Rs 3.5 lakh refund claimed - processed and refund received 4 October
Sister in Law -ITR3 - filed 19 July - no refund claimed - processing still pending
Mother - ITR3 - filed 26 September - no refund claimed - processed 29 September
Father - ITR3 - filed 26 September - no refund claimed - processed 27 September

Also, the Company where I work:

ITR6 (with tax audit)  - ITR filed 18 November - refund claim Rs 36 lakh - processed and refund received 1 December

Seems like there's no clear logic for the delays. The senselessness makes snese because it's Bharat Sarkar.

Thanks for reply

Itr3 are being processed to some extend

It seems itr2...new regime...no refunds ...stuck....though both itr2 & 3 forms were  released in july

Also seen....itr filed  after September are getting processed faster

THANKS FOR REPLY

ITR-2 processing timelines for AY 2026-27 are running roughly 4 to 8 weeks from filing date, though the CPC queue is still building in May.

Here is what happens after you file:
- Within 30 days: e-verify your ITR (Aadhaar OTP, net banking, or DSC). Returns not e-verified within 30 days are treated as invalid.
- CPC processing: After e-verification, the Centralised Processing Centre at Bengaluru processes the return. For straightforward cases (salary plus capital gains, no scrutiny flags), intimation under Section 143(1) typically arrives in 4 to 12 weeks.
- Refund credit: If a refund is due, it is credited to your pre-validated bank account within 7 to 14 days of the 143(1) intimation. NEFT details must match exactly.

Check status on the e-filing portal under e-File > Income Tax Returns > View Filed Returns. Statuses to watch: Verified, Successfully Processed, Refund Issued.
