Income-tax returns: Got a notice or is your ITR refund paused due to error in tax filing? Here's what to do next | Mint
Got a notice or your refund is stuck? The tax department flags mismatches between your ITR and your financial transactions. Not every notice means trouble. First, verify the notice is genuine on the income-tax e-filing portal. Then check the specific issue, upload supporting documents through e-Proceedings, and download the acknowledgement. Refunds usually come within five weeks after e-verification, but unresolved mismatches delay them.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Most taxpayers receive their refund within five weeks of filing after e-verification.
- A notice does not automatically mean you are in trouble; it can be about mismatches, unreported income, or verification of claims.
- Verify notice authenticity on the official income-tax e-filing portal, then reply via e-Proceedings with supporting documents.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:Log in to the income-tax e-filing portal, open Pending Action and e-Proceedings to view the notice, and upload the documents asked for before responding.
