    Many people file their Income Tax Return (ITR) early so that they can get their refund as soon as possible. But most do not know when the refund comes and how to track it. If your ITR is already filed but the refund has not come, then it is important to check the status and understand if there is any delay or issue.

    Let’s understand the timeline, steps to check refund status, and possible reasons for delay.

    Refund Comes Only After E-Verification

    One of the most important steps after filing ITR is e-verification. If you only file your return but do not e-verify it, then the return will not be processed. The countdown to get your refund starts only after e-verification is done.

    Generally, once you e-verify your ITR, the refund is processed within 4 to 5 weeks. However, in some cases, it may take more time due to verification checks or technical reasons.

    Step-by-Step Process to Check ITR Refund Status

    If you have been waiting for your refund for a long time, you can check the status online using these two official ways:

    ✔ Method 1: Through the Income Tax Department Portal

    1. Visit the official website: https://www.incometax.gov.in/iec/foportal/
    2. Log in using your PAN (as user ID), password, and captcha.
    3. Once logged in, go to your dashboard and click on “e-Filed Returns”.
    4. A list of filed ITRs will appear. Select the relevant ITR by clicking on the acknowledgement number.
    5. You will see the full status of your ITR, including refund status on the screen.

    ✔ Method 2: Through NSDL Portal

    1. Visit https://tin.tin.nsdl.com/oltas/Refundstatuslogin.html
    2. Enter your PAN number and select the assessment year for which the refund is due.
    3. Fill in the captcha code and click Proceed.
    4. The status of your refund will be shown on the screen.

    You Also Get SMS or Email Alerts from the Department

    The Income Tax Department also sends updates about refund status through SMS and email. If your refund has been processed or delayed, you may get a message. So, make sure your email ID and mobile number are updated in your income tax profile.

    Common Reasons Why Your Refund May Be Delayed

    Even after e-verifying, sometimes the refund takes longer than expected. These are the most common reasons:

    • ITR not e-verified: Filing is not enough; you must e-verify.
    • Aadhaar not linked with PAN: Your PAN and Aadhaar must be linked.
    • Bank details are wrong: If your account number or IFSC code is incorrect, refund cannot be credited.
    • TDS mismatch: If the tax deducted (TDS) reported by your employer or bank does not match your form 26AS, the refund may be held.
    • Email not responded: Sometimes the department sends emails asking for extra information. If you don’t reply, processing may stop.

    Make sure your ITR is complete, verified, and all details are correct. This will help avoid delays.

    Refund Timelines in Simple Words

    • File ITR
    • E-verify within 30 days
    • Refund is usually processed in 4 to 5 weeks after e-verification
    • Track refund using ITR portal or NSDL site
    • Keep checking your SMS and email for updates

    Keeping your documents ready, filing on time, and e-verifying quickly are the keys to getting your refund without delays. If it still doesn’t come in time, checking status and correcting errors is the right way forward.
