ITR refund still hasn’t arrived? check your refund status online

Many taxpayers have received their refunds, but some are still waiting. If you’re wondering why your refund hasn’t arrived, you can check the status online and find out the reason for the delay.

Income Tax Refund: For taxpayers whose income was not required to be audited, the last date for filing their Income Tax Return (ITR) was September 16, 2025. More than a month has passed. Many taxpayers have received their refunds, but some are still waiting. If you’re wondering why your refund hasn’t arrived, you can check the status online and find out the reason for the delay.

How to Check Your Refund Status Online

To check your refund status, go to the Income Tax e-filing portal. Log in with your PAN and password. After logging in, go to the Filed Returns section to check whether your return has been processed and whether a refund is pending. If the refund has been processed, go to the ‘Know Your Refund Status’ option and enter the relevant assessment year. This will show whether the refund has been released or not.

Reasons for Delayed Refunds

Even though the system is fast, delays can occur for a variety of reasons. A common reason is outstanding tax demands. Sometimes, the department adjusts your refund against past tax dues. To verify this, log in to the e-filing portal, go to the Pending Actions section, and check the outstanding amount. If there’s a demand, make the payment, or respond if you disagree. This can prevent refunds from being held up.

Another reason is that bank account information is not valid. Refunds are only credited to validated and PAN-linked accounts.

Be Vigilant and Check Regularly

Refund processing has become faster, but your vigilance is even more important. Keep your bank details updated, respond to outstanding demands promptly, and regularly check the status. If the matter is complicated or unresolvable, seek help from a tax expert. With proper information and attention, you can receive your refund without delay. Taxpayers are advised to keep their documents ready and take immediate action if required.
