About Income Tax Refund Not Received — Resolution
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
Refunds usually get stuck for a few fixable reasons: the bank account isn't pre-validated or doesn't match your PAN name, PAN is inoperative because it isn't linked with Aadhaar, the return hasn't been processed, or the refund was adjusted against an old outstanding demand. Once the cause is fixed, a refund reissue request can be filed online. Delayed refunds carry interest under Section 244A at 0.5% per month.
The refund status on the e-filing portal and the bank's tracking tell you where the problem is. 'Refund failure' points to bank details; 'adjusted' points to a demand under Section 245; no processing after many months may need a grievance.
We diagnose the status, fix the underlying issue (validate the account, link PAN–Aadhaar, respond to the adjustment intimation), file the reissue request and escalate through the grievance channel where needed.
| Common causes | Bank not validated, PAN inoperative, return unprocessed, adjustment against demand |
|---|---|
| Fix | Refund reissue request on the e-filing portal |
| Adjustment | Against outstanding demand under Section 245 after intimation |
| Interest | 0.5% per month under Section 244A |
