Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the interest rate applied to income tax refunds. Generally, taxpayers can expect an interest of 0.5% per month, equating to 6% per annum, on delayed refunds. This interest is calculated from April 1st until the refund is issued. However, refunds below 10% of the tax payable may not be eligible for this interest payment, as per Section 244A.

Interest at 0.5% per month (i.e 6% per annum) is paid from 1st April till date of refund.

No refund is payable if the Refund is less than 10% of tax payable.
