If you have incorrect bank details: In compliance with the current protocol defined by the tax department, income tax refunds are only released by digital communication. That ensures the refunds are immediately provided to the taxpayer’s bank accounts. In the event that the bank account number entered in the tax report is inaccurate, the refund will be postponed until the details have been updated. On the income tax department’s website, you can change the bank account details online. In addition, it is necessary that the bank account you have is linked to the permanent account number (PAN).
If you have not prevalidated your bank account yet: To receive the refund, your bank account needs to be pre-validated. You must go to the portal of the income tax department, use your PAN and password to log in, and then go to the profile settings. There, you will notice a pre-validate alternative for your bank account. If your bank is linked to the e-filing portal, pre-validation will be carried out directly via the electronic verification code (EVC) and the online banking mode. Your bank account number, IFSC code, mobile number and email ID linked to that account need to be provided.
If you have not verified your ITR yet: The federal tax return filing process is finished only after you confirm your income tax return. The procedure will not be complete if you don’t do this and the refunds will be postponed.
