Refund related query of income tax

Hi Sir,

Please check the status of your Income tax Refund from this link

https://tin.tin.nsdl.com/oltas/refundstatuslogin.html

You can also check the CPC Refund failure status from here:

https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/portal/Services.do?screen=cpcRefundStatus

Please take corrective steps for ensuring that you get the Refund.

The most common reason for the Return of the Refund cheque is due to invalid address or change in the address. If there is a change in address than what is in the PAN database (Refund is sent to the address in PAN database) you need to submit a PAN change form to your Local TIN-FC (Karvy etc).

After the successful change of address, you need to fill in a response sheet to the CPC stating failure of Refund, your PAN, Updated Address, Full Bank account Number, MICR Code (for Direct Credit), One cancelled cheque has to be sent, one has to also mention the Assessment year. Also send a Address Proof.

Please see that if you want to change address in ITR, you will have to file an online rectification and then submit proof of address change to TIN-FC within certain days.

It is advisable to do both.

Regards
