After replying to the notice and disagreeing with the demand, the tax department hasn't responded, and the refund is on hold. The advice suggests checking notice details, verifying the demand's accuracy, responding online, contacting the jurisdictional officer, and escalating if necessary to resolve the issue and release the refund.

If your client has received a notice under section 245, it's essential to address it promptly.
