If you have paid a higher tax to the government vis-a-vis the actual tax liability, you are eligible for an income tax refund from the Income Tax Department. This happens when self-assessment tax paid or TDS deducted is more than the actual tax liability or when advance tax is paid. After processing your income tax returns (ITR), if the tax department decides that a refund is payable, you will be informed via SMS and email. The notice sent to you by the Income Tax Department will have information like amount of refund you will receive and refund sequence number. This intimation is sent under Section 143(1) of the income tax Act.
Your refund will be credited to the pre-validated bank account. In case you have not received the refund amount, you can raise a service request on the e-filing portal.
If you want to raise the request for the refund re-issue using the e-filing website, the rejection of refund on the tin-nsdl website must be reflected. You won't be able to raise the refund re-issue request, if the reason for rejection is not reflected on the e-filing website or if you cannot track the status of your tax refund.
