You are eligible to receive income tax refund if you have paid more tax to the government than your actual tax liability. This usually happens when the advance tax, self-assessment tax paid or TDS deducted of the taxpayer is higher than the total tax liability of a taxpayer.
If the tax department determines, after processing your income tax return (ITR), that a refund is payable to you, an intimation is sent to you via SMS and email. The intimation notice received by you shows the amount of refund that will be credited into your account along with a refund sequence number. An intimation is sent to you under section 143 (1) of the income tax Act.
Do keep in mind that you will only get the refund if into a pre-validated bank account. Now, if for some reason you have not received the refund amount, then you can raise a service request on the e-filing portal.
Things to remember
Before you raise the request for the refund re-issue on the e-filing website, remember that rejection of refund on tin-nsdl website must be reflected. If you cannot track the status of your tax refund or until the reason of rejection is reflected on the e-filing website, then you cannot raise the refund re-issue request.
In such a case you have to raise a grievance on the e-filing website, under the 'e-Nivaran' tab.
