AO can accept, reject or issue a deficiency memo within 15 days of the online application of refund. If you have already filed online application, you must have received the order for rejection or acknowledgment.

If refund is available you may utilise the same?

Agree with CA Saloni. if you have submitted online application in 2018 than you definitely received deficiency memo/rejection letter with in 15 days and if the same application is in process (may be by reason of appeal or anything) than this will not consider as time bar.

and if such online application is rejected /cancelled/not replied by you or anything than this is time bar and department can reject the refund.

Swati mam,

department has neither issued acknowledgement nor deficiency memo within 15 days from the date of online refund application dated 12.02.2018 as well as till date.

however, department asked last week over phone regarding issuance of RFD 01B due to non submission of relevant documents of the said refund as prescribed in para 2.3 of the circular 17/17/2017 dated 15.11.2017.
now, the party has submitted the relevant documents,

as such, it appears that the said refund is still alive for payment.
