Income Tax Refund Delay: How to Check and What to Do
Many taxpayers are still waiting for their refund. This guide explains how to check your income tax refund status, why refunds get delayed, and simple steps you can take to fix the issue and receive your money soon.
Waiting for your refund can be stressful. Many people are facing delays this year, but the good news is that you can easily track the status and fix common issues. Here is a short and simple guide.
How to Check Your Refund Status
You can check your refund online by following these steps:
- Log in to the Income Tax portal (incometax.gov.in).
- Go to e-File → Income Tax Returns → View Filed Returns.
- Select the correct year and click View Details.
You will see a status such as Processed, Refund Issued, or Under Review.
Tip: You can also check your refund using your PAN on the TIN-NSDL refund tracking page.
When Will the Refund Come?
If everything is correct, refunds are usually processed within 4–5 weeks after e-verification.
Right now, refunds with high values or special claims are taking extra time because of detailed checks. Most pending refunds are expected to be cleared by the end of December 2025.
Common Reasons for Delay
| Not Verified | You filed your return but did not e-verify it within 30 days. |
| Wrong Bank Details | Your bank account is not pre-validated or has mistakes. |
| TDS Mismatch | Tax deducted shown in your return does not match portal records. |
| Old Pending Tax | Your refund may be adjusted against past unpaid tax. |
| High Refund Amount | Large refunds may go through manual checking for safety. |
What You Can Do
- E-verify your return if not done.
- Update and pre-validate your bank account on the portal.
- If it shows Refund Failure, request Refund Re-Issue under the Services menu.
- For issues, call the helpdesk: 1800 103 0025.
Final Note
Most refund delays are due to minor issues. Once verified and corrected, your refund should be released soon. Keep checking the portal for updates.
