When does the processing of refund start? How can you see your refund status? Let us tell you about the income tax refund along with these questions.
Income tax refund means the amount that is refunded by the Income Tax Department. If you have paid any tax, it is more than your actual tax liability, then you can also withdraw it by filing ITR.
When will the processing of tax refund start
Processing of refund begins when taxpayers e-verify their returns after filing ITR. According to the Income Tax website, the normal tax refund takes 4 to 5 weeks for your account to be credited. If you do not get refund in this time, then you should see information about any disturbance in your ITR. Along with this, you can also check email notifications.
