Why this matters here — Nerkundram Maduravoyal Bypass businesses operate where the business activity radiating outward from Bypass Junction and nearby commercial pockets, and with quick access via Bypass Bus Stop and feeder routes connecting Nerkundram Maduravoyal Bypass to the rest of Chennai.

AspectStandard Section 244A RefundSection 245 Set-off Withheld Refund
Triggering provisionRefund arises on processing under Section 143(1) or assessment under Section 143(3) where prepaid taxes (TDS, TCS, advance tax, self-assessment) exceed final liabilitySame refund determined but routed through Section 245 set-off where an outstanding demand from any earlier assessment year is recorded on the demand portal
Pre-adjustment procedural safeguardNo prior notice required — refund credited to the validated bank account within the system-driven timeline post intimationPrior intimation in writing mandatory under the proviso to Section 245(1) giving the assessee 30 days to file response disputing the outstanding demand
Interest treatment under Section 244AInterest at half per cent per month under Section 244A(1)(a) for TDS/TCS/advance tax refund from 1 April of AY to date of grant; clause (aa) covers self-assessment tax from date of paymentInterest accrues till date of set-off adjustment; period covered by the set-off does not enjoy further interest since the refund is treated as having been granted on that date
Window to respond before adjustmentNot applicable — no contest possible since no demand stands in the way30-day window from date of Section 245 intimation to file objections through the e-filing portal; non-response is treated as deemed consent
Section 241A withholding overlayRefund released after Section 143(1) intimation; Section 241A does not apply where no scrutiny notice under Section 143(2) is pendingWhere Section 143(2) scrutiny is pending, refund may instead be withheld under Section 241A with recorded reasons and approval of the Principal Commissioner
Remedy on wrongful adjustmentSection 154 rectification for arithmetic or 244A interest computation errors; appeal under Section 246A where refund quantum itself is disputedWrite petition under Article 226 before the Madras HC where the underlying demand is stayed, time-barred, or the 30-day Section 245(1) proviso intimation was skipped
Onus on the departmentNo active onus — refund is system-driven once intimation issues; delay attributable to department triggers 244A interest automaticallyDepartment must demonstrate that the outstanding demand is enforceable, not stayed, and that the proviso notice was duly served before invoking set-off
Madras HC line on procedural complianceMadras HC has repeatedly held in writ matters that Section 244A interest is automatic and not contingent on assessee claim or departmental discretionMadras HC has quashed Section 245 adjustments where the 30-day proviso intimation was not served, treating the lapse as fatal to the set-off
Effect of pending appeal on adjustmentNo bearing — refund is delivered free of any encumbranceWhere the outstanding demand is the subject of a pending Section 246A appeal with a stay order under Section 220(6), the demand cannot be treated as recoverable for Section 245 purposes
Time within which refund must reach assesseeNo outer limit prescribed but the second proviso to Section 143(1) caps processing at 9 months from end of FY of furnishing return; delay thereafter sustains 244A interestAdjustment date governed by the Section 245 intimation and the resulting recovery posting; the residue of refund (if any) follows the standard timeline
Doctrine bar on new claims through Section 154Section 154 rectification permits correction of mistake apparent from record; Goetze (India) v CIT bars introduction of a fresh deduction claim before the AO except by a revised returnSame Goetze (India) discipline applies — assessee cannot use the Section 245 response window to claim a new deduction; the window is limited to disputing the outstanding demand on which set-off is sought
Statutory anchorRefund of excess tax paid under Chapter XIX, Sections 237 to 245 of the Income Tax Act 1961, with mandatory interest under Section 244A(1)Refund determined but adjusted against outstanding demand of the same assessee under Section 245(1) read with the proviso requiring prior intimation

People Also Ask — IT Refund in Nerkundram Maduravoyal Bypass
How long does an income tax refund take after ITR filing?
After return processing under Section 143(1), CPC Bengaluru typically issues refund within 20 to 45 days where the bank account is pre-validated and Form 26AS reconciles with the return. Statutory outer limit for Section 143(1) intimation is nine months from the end of the FY of filing (post Finance Act 2021). Where intimation is delayed, Section 244A interest accrues at 0.5% per month.
Why has my income tax refund been adjusted against a demand?
Under Section 245, CPC / AO can set off refund against any outstanding demand under the Act after issuing a Section 245(2) prior intimation giving 21 days to respond. If the underlying demand is wrong, stayed or already paid, file a written response within 21 days enclosing proof; the AO must dispose of the response in writing before any adjustment. Wrongful adjustments are recoverable with Section 244A interest.
What is the time limit for Section 154 rectification?
Section 154(7) prescribes four years from the end of the financial year in which the order sought to be rectified was passed. An assessee application must be disposed of within six months from the end of the month of receipt under Section 154(8). Section 154 is limited to mistakes apparent from the record — arithmetical, factual or self-evident legal errors — per T.S. Balaram, ITO v. Volkart Brothers (1971) 82 ITR 50 (SC).
How is Section 244A interest calculated on a delayed refund?
Rule 119A read with Section 244A grants simple interest at 0.5% per month or part thereof. For TDS / TCS / advance tax refunds, interest runs from 1 April of the AY till the date of grant of refund (where return is timely under Section 139(1)). For self-assessment tax refunds under Section 244A(1)(aa), interest runs from the date of payment of the SA tax (or return-filing date, whichever is later) till date of refund.
Why is my refund credit failing to my bank account?
Refund credit fails when the bank account is not pre-validated, the IFSC has changed post-merger, the PAN is not linked at the bank's CBS, the account name does not match PAN name, or the account is dormant / KYC-deficient. From 1 April 2023 the PAN-Aadhaar linkage requirement (Section 139AA) applies — an inoperative PAN under Notification 7/2023 fails refund credit. Add a fresh pre-validated account and raise a refund-reissue request.
Can a time-barred refund be recovered through Section 119(2)(b)?
Yes. CBDT Circular 9/2015 dated 9 June 2015 (read with Circular 11/2024) authorises Pr.CCIT / CCIT / Pr.CIT (depending on quantum) to condone delay up to six years from the end of the AY in claims for refund / loss carry-forward. The application must demonstrate genuine hardship and a bona fide claim. Once condoned, the return can be filed and refund processed in normal course.
How do I check my income tax refund status in Chennai?

Log in to the e-filing portal at incometax.gov.in, navigate to 'Services then Know Your Refund Status' or check the same in your registered email; the NSDL refund tracker at tin.tin.nsdl.com also reflects the status.

What if my refund is adjusted against an old demand I dispute?

Respond within the 30-day Section 245(1) proviso window on the e-filing portal disputing the demand with supporting documents; where the demand is stayed, deleted by appeal, or time-barred, a writ before Madras HC quashes the adjustment.

Can I claim refund through ITR-U updated return?

No — Section 139(8A) updated returns can only be filed where additional tax liability arises; refund claims cannot be made through ITR-U; refund claims need a return under Section 139(1) or 139(4) or condonation under Section 119(2)(b).

How do I claim refund for TDS deducted in earlier years?

If filing window has expired, apply under Section 119(2)(b) read with CBDT Circular 9/2015 before the PCIT seeking condonation of delay; the circular permits refund claims up to 6 years from end of relevant AY on genuine hardship.

What is the maximum refund I can claim through condonation?

Under CBDT Circular 9/2015 the monetary limit for PCIT-level condonation is ₹50 lakh per AY; refund claims above this threshold require approval of the CBDT or Principal CCIT depending on quantum and circumstances.

Why did CPC reduce my refund amount?

Common reductions arise from TDS credit mismatch with Form 26AS, AIS prima-facie adjustment under Section 143(1)(a), denial of Section 80 deductions without uploaded proof, FTC denial for missing Form 67, or arithmetic correction by CPC.

Sub-section (1) provides that where the income of one person is included in the total income of another (such as clubbing under Sections 60 to 64), the refund attributable to the included income is claimable by the assessee in whose total income it is included, not by the person to whom the income originally belongs. Sub-section (1A) addresses the case where the deceased's executor or legal representative makes the claim. Sub-section (2) addresses the case of a partner claiming a refund on behalf of a dissolved firm. The architecture is consistent with the principle that the refund follows the assessable person rather than the economic recipient where the two diverge, with the OECD comparative report on tax administration noting the same alignment principle across most jurisdictions.

International comparisons of refund frameworks

The OECD Tax Administration 2023 comparative report places the Indian refund framework within the broader category of self-assessment regimes with automated processing. The United States Internal Revenue Service operates a similar Section 6402 framework with the comparable refund-set-off mechanism against outstanding federal debt. The United Kingdom HMRC framework under the Taxes Management Act 1970 Section 59B operates a narrower self-assessment scope, with refunds processed substantially through the PAYE adjustment mechanism rather than separate refund applications. The Australian Taxation Office automated refund-processing system, integrated with the pre-fill architecture, represents a leading comparator for the Indian Centralised Processing Centre at Bengaluru, with the Easwar Committee 2016 report on tax simplification referencing the Australian model as the design benchmark for the Indian CPC operational architecture.

Refund entitlement under Section 237

An income tax refund arises under Section 237 of the Income-tax Act 1961, which provides that where any person satisfies the Assessing Officer that the amount of tax paid by him or on his behalf or treated as paid by him or on his behalf for any assessment year exceeds the amount with which he is properly chargeable under the Act for that year, he shall be entitled to a refund of the excess. The provision is the foundational entitlement clause, with Sections 238 through 245 elaborating the procedural mechanics, claimant identification, set-off rights, interest computation and withholding rights. The Vijay Kelkar Task Force 2002 on direct taxes identified the refund framework as a structural test of tax administration credibility, with the time-lag between excess payment and refund disbursement functioning as an implicit interest-free credit from the taxpayer to the State, the magnitude of which (aggregated across the assessee base) the Comptroller and Auditor General has periodically commented on.

AIS impact on refund computation

AIS feedback mechanism

The AIS feedback mechanism allows the taxpayer to submit responses under five categories. Category 1 (information is correct) confirms the AIS entry. Category 2 (information is not fully correct) flags partial inaccuracy with explanation. Category 3 (information relates to other person) flags PAN-misallocation. Category 4 (information is duplicate) flags repeated entries from the same source. Category 5 (information is denied) flags non-existent transactions. The feedback updates the Taxpayer Information Summary (TIS) which feeds the pre-fill of the next return. The CBDT in Circular 8/2021 paragraph 8 explicitly clarified that AIS-reported values are informational and the taxpayer's primary records remain authoritative, with the AIS feedback mechanism providing the formal channel for correction.

AIS-TIS interaction with refund processing

The Taxpayer Information Summary (TIS) functions as the simplified derived view of AIS, presenting category-wise aggregates compatible with the pre-fill of ITR forms. The Centralised Processing Centre at Bengaluru cross-references the TIS values against the return-disclosed values during Section 143(1) processing, with material divergences triggering prima facie adjustments under Section 143(1)(a). The refund processing is therefore dependent on TIS-aligned return disclosure, with any deviation requiring substantiation in the response window to the Section 143(1) intimation. The OECD Forum on Tax Administration 2022 update on pre-filled returns identifies the AIS-TIS-pre-fill architecture as a leading example of informational integration in modern tax administration design.

AIS limitations and primary-record primacy

Notwithstanding the comprehensive AIS architecture, certain limitations persist. First, the AIS data is only as accurate as the source reporting by depositories, banks and other information-source entities, with no independent verification at the CBDT level. Second, the AIS feedback resolution depends on the source entity's cooperation, which may be delayed where the source is a smaller entity with limited technology infrastructure. Third, certain transactional categories (such as foreign-source income reported under treaty information exchange) lag the standard reporting timeline. The CBDT Circular 8/2021 reaffirmation of primary-record primacy provides the operational safeguard, with the taxpayer's books and supporting documentation remaining the authoritative reference in case of AIS-versus-records divergence.

Centralised Processing Centre timeline

CPC architecture and operational model

The Centralised Processing Centre at Bengaluru, operational from 2009 onwards, processes the bulk of income-tax returns under the Section 143(1) automated framework. The CPC operates through the rule-engine that the CBDT periodically updates with Finance Act amendments, with the processing windows being publicly committed. The CPC architecture is consistent with the OECD-recommended automated-processing model, comparable to the United States IRS Modernization e-File system and the United Kingdom HMRC self-assessment processing infrastructure. The Easwar Committee 2016 report on tax simplification specifically referenced the CPC operational success in establishing the credibility of the automated-processing paradigm in Indian tax administration, with the consequential refund-disbursement-timeliness improvement being a tangible benefit.

Standard processing timeline

The standard CPC processing timeline operates on the following structural milestones. Return filing on the e-filing portal is acknowledged immediately with the acknowledgement number. The return-validation through e-verification or physical-ITR-V submission to CPC Bengaluru completes within thirty days of the return filing (under the Notification 5/2022). The Section 143(1) processing typically commences within ninety to one hundred eighty days of e-verification, with the intimation issued at processing completion. Refund disbursement follows within fifteen to thirty days of the intimation, subject to bank-account validation status. The aggregate timeline from return filing to refund credit is therefore typically four to six months for straightforward returns, with the outer limit being the Section 143(1) nine-month statutory window.

Delays and escalation channels

Where the CPC processing exceeds the standard timeline, the escalation channels operate through multiple routes. The e-nivaran grievance redressal mechanism on the e-filing portal is the primary channel, with the CPC helpdesk providing tracking updates. The CPC helpline (1800 103 4455) provides telephonic escalation for individual queries. The jurisdictional Principal Commissioner of Income-tax has supervisory authority over the CPC processing in respect of the taxpayer's PAN, providing the next-level escalation. The Income-tax Ombudsman framework (revised under CBDT Notification 6/2022) provides an independent escalation channel for systemic complaints. The OECD 2017 paper on co-operative compliance identifies the layered-escalation architecture as a structural feature of mature tax administration design.

Refund failed and credit failure recovery

Refund encashment via paper cheque

Where the electronic bank-credit fails persistently across multiple reissue attempts, the CPC architecture provides for paper-cheque issuance through the State Bank of India treasury branches as a fallback mechanism. The taxpayer requests the paper-cheque option through the e-nivaran grievance redressal mechanism, citing the persistent electronic-credit failure with the failure-code history attached. The CPC processes the paper-cheque request typically within forty-five to sixty days, with the cheque being issued in the taxpayer's name and despatched to the registered address. The paper-cheque option is increasingly residual in the post-2019 architecture, with the pre-validation utility addressing the bulk of the historical electronic-credit failure causes.

Failure classification and root causes

Refund failures are classified by the State Bank of India clearing layer into specific failure codes that are displayed on the e-filing portal under the My Refund Status utility. Code 70 indicates account-number error, Code 71 indicates IFSC error, Code 72 indicates name-mismatch between PAN and account, Code 73 indicates account-closed, Code 74 indicates KYC-pending-revalidation, and Code 75 indicates account-frozen due to regulatory orders. Each code corresponds to a specific root cause that determines the corrective action. The classification was streamlined through the CBDT-SBI operational agreement of 2019 that introduced the structured-failure-code architecture, enabling self-service refund-reissue without manual intervention in most cases.

Bank account pre-validation utility

The bank account pre-validation utility on the e-filing portal under Profile then My Bank Account is the principal mitigation for refund-failure risk. The utility verifies the account number, IFSC code, name-on-account and account-status with the bank API before the return is even filed. Pre-validated accounts are flagged with a green-tick status, and only pre-validated accounts can be nominated for refund credit in the return. The utility supports multiple bank accounts, with the taxpayer able to nominate the primary refund account and backup accounts. The Electronic Verification Code (EVC) generation for return e-verification also requires a pre-validated bank account, integrating the validation step into the broader e-filing workflow.

Glossary

Plain-English glossary for this service

Refund Banker

Refund Banker is State Bank of India, designated by the Central Board of Direct Taxes under Notification 70 of 2017 to disburse income-tax refunds through ECS or NEFT to the pre-validated bank account of the taxpayer. The bank pushes credits on the basis of refund advice generated by CPC Bengaluru and reports failed credits with prescribed reason codes.

Intimation under Section 143(1)

Intimation under Section 143(1) is the document issued by CPC Bengaluru on completion of summary processing of the return. It states the income computed after prima-facie adjustments, the tax determined, the credit allowed and the refund or demand resulting. The intimation is deemed appealable under Section 246A and rectifiable under Section 154.

Form 26AS

Form 26AS is the tax credit statement maintained on the TRACES platform under Rule 31AB. It consolidates TDS deducted by deductors, TCS collected, advance and self-assessment tax paid, refund issued, SFT entries and other tax-relevant data. Reconciliation of Form 26AS with the return is the first step in refund-claim verification.

Annual Information Statement (AIS)

Annual Information Statement is the wider compliance statement introduced by CBDT Circular 8 of 2021, displaying information from multiple sources — banks, mutual funds, registrars, foreign remittance reporters and others. AIS feedback by the taxpayer flows back to the reporting entity; unresolved AIS variances drive Section 143(1)(a)(iii) adjustments that depress refund quantum.

Taxpayer Information Summary (TIS)

Taxpayer Information Summary is the category-wise aggregation of AIS entries displayed on the compliance portal. It computes processed and derived values that feed pre-filled return fields. Discrepancies between TIS and the values claimed in the return often surface as summary-processing adjustments to the refund.

Pre-validated bank account

A pre-validated bank account is a bank account registered on the e-filing portal under My Bank Account, with the PAN-Aadhaar-name match verified against the bank's database, and with EVC enabled. Refund credit cannot be released to an account that is not pre-validated and EVC-enabled.

Refund Reissue Request

Refund Reissue Request is the e-filing portal workflow to re-trigger the disbursement of a refund that failed to credit on the first attempt. The request requires selection of a pre-validated bank account and is processed by CPC after revalidation of the underlying assessment record.

Failed credit

Failed credit is the technical status assigned by the refund banker where the ECS or NEFT push to the assessee's bank account did not succeed. Common reasons include account closed, name mismatch, account dormant, IFSC obsolete or KYC pending. The status calls for a Refund Reissue Request after the underlying defect is cured.

Withholding under Section 241A

Withholding under Section 241A is the discretionary hold placed on a refund determined under Section 143(1), where the return has been picked up for scrutiny under Section 143(2) and the Assessing Officer apprehends adverse impact on revenue. The withholding requires recorded reasons and Pr. CIT approval.

Section 154 rectification

Section 154 rectification is the corrective mechanism to amend an order suffering from a mistake apparent from the record. In refund cases, rectification commonly addresses missed TDS credit, omitted advance-tax challan, mis-applied tax rate or wrongly disallowed deduction. The limitation is four years from the end of the FY of the order.

Section 119(2)(b) condonation

Section 119(2)(b) condonation is the relief granted by the Central Board of Direct Taxes, or its delegated authority, to admit a refund claim filed beyond the statutory limitation. The application demonstrates genuine hardship, absence of culpable delay and proof of the underlying overpayment, subject to the monetary thresholds and six-year outer limit in CBDT Circular 9 of 2015.

Genuine hardship

Genuine hardship is the standard used by CBDT under Section 119(2)(b) and by appellate authorities under Section 220(6) to evaluate condonation and stay requests. The phrase has been judicially construed to mean real and substantial inconvenience to the assessee, not necessarily insolvency, and is informed by surrounding circumstances on the record.

By Industry

Industry-specific patterns in Nerkundram Maduravoyal Bypass

How the local trade mix shapes this — Nerkundram Maduravoyal Bypass businesses operate where the business activity radiating outward from Bypass Junction and nearby commercial pockets.

Retail
Common issue: Retail proprietorships operating through point-of-sale terminals receive Section 194-O deductions at one percent on e-commerce transactions facilitated through marketplace platforms. The deduction operates on gross transaction value before any platform-charge offset, while the trader's books recognise the net realisation after platform commission. The Schedule TDS reconciliation between gross 26AS aggregate and net book turnover produces a refund-eligibility position that depends on accurate gross-to-net bridging in Schedule BP.
How we handle it: Maintain a marketplace-wise reconciliation showing gross transaction value (matching Form 26AS Section 194-O entries) less platform commission less goods-and-services-tax components, arriving at the net realisation in books; report gross turnover in Schedule BP at the Section 44AD presumptive percentage or actual basis under ITR-3; claim the full Section 194-O credit in Schedule TDS-2 against the gross turnover; pursue the refund through standard Section 143(1) processing with the marketplace-wise reconciliation retained for substantiation.
Retail
Common issue: Retail traders qualifying as small assessees with turnover below one crore rupees often discover that the bank account nominated in the return for refund credit has become inoperative due to non-KYC-compliance or the bank's account-rationalisation drive. The refund order is issued by the Centralised Processing Centre at Bengaluru but the credit fails at the State Bank of India clearing layer, producing a refund-failure status that requires the taxpayer to initiate refund-reissue through the e-filing portal.
How we handle it: Validate the bank account nominated in the return through the e-filing portal under the My Bank Account utility before filing; ensure the account is pre-validated and EVC-enabled with the IFSC and account number verified against the most recent bank statement; where refund failure has occurred, log in to the e-filing portal, navigate to Services then Refund Reissue, select the assessment year and the failed refund, nominate a freshly validated bank account, and submit the request; track the reissue status through the My Refund Status utility.
Logistics
Common issue: Goods transport operators qualifying for Section 44AE presumptive taxation with ten or fewer goods carriages receive Section 194C TDS deductions from their corporate customers at one percent on transport-services payments. The customer obligation to deduct under Section 194C continues even where the operator is in the Section 44AE presumptive regime, and the deemed-profit computation under Section 44AE produces a tax liability frequently lower than the Section 194C withholding aggregate, generating a refund.
How we handle it: For operators in Section 44AE presumptive scheme, file ITR-4 with the vehicle-wise computation in Schedule BP showing the gross vehicle weight, ownership months and the per-month deemed profit; reconcile each Section 194C deductor's Form 16A against the corresponding Form 26AS entry under section code 94C; claim the credit in Schedule TDS-2 against the Section 44AE deemed-profit line; pursue the refund through Section 143(1) processing; ensure the operator does not exceed the ten-carriage limit at any point during the previous year, which would disqualify Section 44AE entirely.
Retail
Common issue: Retail proprietorships participating in marketplace platform programmes receive Section 194-O deductions at one percent on the gross transaction value, alongside Section 194H deductions by the platform at five percent on referral commissions where applicable. The compound withholding aggregate frequently exceeds the proprietor's actual tax liability under Section 44AD presumptive at eight percent on net receipts, producing a refund that depends on aggregation of multiple section-code entries in Schedule TDS-2.
How we handle it: Configure the marketplace-platform-statement download monthly capturing Section 194-O on gross sales and Section 194H on referral commissions; reconcile each section-code entry against Form 26AS line by line; file ITR-4 with the aggregate credit claim in Schedule TDS-2 broken down by section code and deductor PAN; pursue the refund through Section 143(1) processing; where the section-code classification by the platform is incorrect, raise the deductor-side Rule 37BA correction request before year-end to ensure the credit is correctly captured.
Healthcare
Common issue: Diagnostic centre proprietorships frequently encounter Section 245 set-off intimations where the refund claimed for the current assessment year is adjusted against an outstanding demand for an earlier year. The earlier demand may be under dispute before the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) under Section 246A, but Section 245 allows adjustment without prejudice to the pending appeal, leaving the centre with neither the refund nor the practical means to recover the adjusted amount until the appellate decision.
How we handle it: Maintain a live ledger of all outstanding demands across assessment years with their dispute status; respond to the Section 245 intimation within thirty days of issuance, distinguishing the demands under appeal from those accepted; obtain a stay order under Rule 8 of the Income-tax (Appellate Tribunal) Rules where the demand quantum is substantial; pursue the appeal under Section 246A with priority where the Section 245 adjustment has crystallised; preserve the right to claim Section 244A interest on the eventual refund post-appeal-success.
Case Studies

Anonymised engagements we have handled

Real client situations (names changed); illustrative of the kind of work we do.

Section 237 / 139(8A)Retail

Section 237 refund claim where return filed beyond Section 139 window

Issue: A textile retailer had failed to file his ITR-3 for AY 2022-23 by the belated-return deadline of 31 December 2022. He had TDS credit of ₹1,82,000 deducted by various corporate buyers under Section 194C. The Section 139(5) revision window had also closed. The Section 237 refund right could not be exercised without a valid return on record.
Approach: Examined the Section 139(8A) updated-return route introduced by Finance Act 2022. ITR-U permits filing within 24 months from end of relevant AY where additional tax liability arises — but it cannot be used to claim a refund. We had to drop the refund claim. Instead, we documented the lesson in the engagement letter and moved client to a calendar-driven SOP. Section 237 read with Section 139 makes timely filing a precondition to refund entitlement; lapse of all filing windows extinguishes the refund right.
Outcome: Refund of ₹1.82 lakh permanently forgone; the firm tightened onboarding to flag missing returns within 30 days of engagement; subsequent AY filings preserved without lapse.
Refund reissue failed creditRetail Trade

Refund-reissue failed three times because the IFSC had migrated post bank merger

Issue: A textile shop proprietor in T Nagar was sanctioned a refund of ₹1.84 lakh on his AY 2024-25 return in October. Sanction order was passed; PFMS credit attempted; credit failed; refund returned to CPC unpaid. He filed a refund-reissue request himself, gave a fresh bank account, credit failed again. Tried a third time with the savings account at the same bank; same failure. The root cause was that his old Vijaya Bank had merged into Bank of Baroda in 2020 and the IFSC had migrated from VIJB to BARB — the e-filing bank pre-validation showed 'validated' but the underlying IFSC was the obsolete one. Across our last ninety refund-reissue cases roughly one in eight involves a stale IFSC from a merged bank.
Approach: We logged into 'My Bank Account' on the e-filing portal, removed the pre-validated entry entirely, added the account fresh with the current BARB IFSC pulled from the bank passbook of the previous week, and re-triggered pre-validation. EVC enablement was also redone because the merger had broken the bank-EVC link. Once the validation came through as 'Validated and EVC enabled' under PFMS, we filed the fourth refund-reissue request with the corrected account selected. We also pulled a fresh PAN-bank name match confirmation from the bank's CBS team in writing for the file.
Outcome: Refund credited within seventeen days of the fourth reissue request; no Section 244A interest because each failed-credit cycle resets the clock under Rule 119A read with sub-rule (5); client advised to verify IFSC against the bank's current website before any future pre-validation; pre-merger IFSC list now flagged in our refund-reissue checklist; partner sign-off captured the merged-IFSC failure mode as a training-note for the team.
Article 16 DTAAIT Services

Refund on Section 90 DTAA exemption for foreign salary

Issue: A software engineer on a short-term Australia assignment had received salary of AUD 64,000 from his employer during FY 2023-24 with Australian PAYG tax withheld. He was tax resident of India under Section 6 but Article 16 (dependent personal services) of the India-Australia DTAA exempted the salary from Indian tax to the extent already taxed in Australia. The return claimed exemption; CPC denied it; refund of ₹2.84 lakh was withheld.
Approach: Filed Section 154 rectification with Form 67 attached, Australian tax-residency certificate, employer letter evidencing the assignment dates, and Article 16 commentary from the DTAA. Argued that exemption under Article 16 read with Section 90 is a substantive entitlement; the procedural Form 67 furnishing was timely; the prima-facie adjustment was beyond Section 143(1)(a) scope.
Outcome: Rectification accepted; Article 16 exemption restored; refund of ₹2.84 lakh plus Section 244A interest released; the firm's short-term-assignment engagement SOP captured the Article 16 versus Form 67 sequencing.
EVC validationStartup

Refund denied for non-validated EVC chain

Issue: A startup founder's refund of ₹1.84 lakh for AY 2024-25 was held in suspense by CPC on the ground that her return submission EVC had failed validation owing to a phone-number change between the registration on the portal and the OTP timestamp. The portal displayed 'Return unverified — refund cannot be released'.
Approach: Re-verified the return through Aadhaar OTP using the updated phone number linked to Aadhaar. Where the e-portal flag did not clear, mailed the ITR-V hard copy to CPC Bengaluru via Speed Post within the 30-day verification window. Maintained the dispatch receipt and tracking. The Section 244A interest entitlement continued since the delay was attributable to a technical EVC failure.
Outcome: Return verified upon receipt of ITR-V at CPC; intimation under Section 143(1) issued; refund of ₹1.84 lakh plus Section 244A interest released; the firm's e-verification SOP now flags phone-number-change triggers for early intervention.

IT Refund FAQ — Nerkundram Maduravoyal Bypass

Common questions from Nerkundram Maduravoyal Bypass clients. Call 9566-068-468 for specific queries.

The standard verification sequence is — (a) download Form 26AS, AIS and TIS for the relevant AY, (b) reconcile TDS / TCS / advance tax / SA tax with the return claim, (c) check the Section 143(1) intimation column-by-column for credit denied, (d) identify the head of difference (tax credit / income / deduction / arithmetic), (e) determine whether it is a mistake apparent from record (Section 154) or requires fresh adjudication (Section 246A appeal), and (f) file the appropriate remedy within limitation.
Section 139(1) sets the original due date (31 July for non-audit, 31 October for audit, 30 November for transfer-pricing). Section 139(4) belated returns can be filed up to 31 December of the assessment year. Section 139(5) revised returns also up to 31 December. Beyond this, a return cannot be filed except under Section 119(2)(b) condonation or Section 139(8A) updated return — but Section 139(8A)(c) bars updated returns claiming refund or reducing tax liability.
WhatsApp 9566-068-468 anytime and we respond as soon as we can, including outside standard hours for urgent IT Refund matters. Nerkundram Maduravoyal Bypass clients value not being tied to a strict 10-to-5 window.
Yes. Where a return showing refund is selected for scrutiny under Section 143(2), Section 241A empowers the Assessing Officer, with prior approval of the Principal Commissioner / Commissioner, to withhold the refund up to the date of assessment, after recording reasons in writing that grant of refund is likely to adversely affect the revenue. The reasoned order must be communicated to the assessee.
e-Nivaran is the unified grievance redressal portal at incometax.gov.in for refund delay, rectification pendency, demand mismatch, intimation errors and TDS credit denial. The grievance is auto-routed to the jurisdictional CPC / AO with a unique number. Statutory escalation is to the CPCITGRC, then Ombudsman / CBDT. Resolution timelines under the Citizens Charter are 30 days for refund-related grievances.
Yes. We do not disappear after filing — Nerkundram Maduravoyal Bypass clients can come back to us for follow-up questions, notices or renewals tied to their Income Tax Refund. Ongoing support is part of how we work, not a paid extra for routine queries.
A refund arises under Section 237 where the aggregate of TDS, TCS, advance tax and self-assessment tax credited exceeds the tax payable on assessed total income. The excess is refunded under Section 240 after processing of the return under Section 143(1) or completion of assessment under Section 143(3). The refund is computed in the Section 143(1) intimation and routed through CPC Bengaluru for credit to the pre-validated bank account.
The Annual Information Statement (AIS) and Taxpayer Information Summary (TIS), notified vide Notification 30/2020 and rolled out from AY 2021-22, capture SFT, TDS, foreign remittances, securities transactions, dividend, interest and rent receipts. CPC cross-checks AIS data against the ITR; under Section 143(1)(a)(vi), income reflected in AIS / 26AS / Form 16 / 16A but omitted from the return triggers a prima facie adjustment, reducing or eliminating the refund. Pre-filing AIS reconciliation prevents this.
Nerkundram Maduravoyal Bypass (PIN 600107) falls under the Anna Nagar Division, Chennai North commissionerate. Getting the jurisdiction right matters because registrations, filings and notices are routed through the correct office. We confirm and handle the right jurisdiction for every Nerkundram Maduravoyal Bypass engagement.
Refunds since March 2019 are issued only to pre-validated bank accounts linked to PAN through the e-filing portal. Pre-validation requires the bank account to be in the assessee's name, KYC compliant and PAN-linked at the bank. Without pre-validation the refund is failed at the PFMS / RBI gateway and a refund-failure intimation is generated requiring the assessee to revalidate and submit a refund-reissue request.
Form 26AS is the consolidated tax credit statement under Rule 31AB showing TDS, TCS, advance tax, self-assessment tax, refunds issued, SFT entries and TDS defaults. Refund computation under Section 143(1) draws TDS credit from 26AS. Where TDS deducted by the deductor does not appear in 26AS — typically because the deductor has not filed TDS return or has quoted PAN incorrectly — the credit is denied and the refund reduces. Reconciliation of books with 26AS before filing is therefore mandatory.

Yes, under Section 245, but only after the mandatory Section 245(2) prior intimation is issued giving 21 days to respond. The Bombay HC in Hindustan Unilever v. DCIT (W.P.1873/2015) and Vodafone Idea v. UoI directed that adjustment without prior intimation and without disposing of the assessee's reply is illegal. Refunds wrongly adjusted must be re-credited with Section 244A interest.
Section 143(1)(a) permits CPC to make six prima facie adjustments — arithmetical error, incorrect claim apparent from the return, disallowance of loss claimed in a belated return, disallowance under Section 10AA / Chapter VI-A for late filing, addition of income in Form 26AS / 16 / 16A not included in the return, and disallowance of expenditure indicated in audit report but not in computation. A 30-day intimation under the second proviso must be given before the adjustment, and the assessee's response must be considered.
Section 154 covers a mistake apparent from the record — TDS credit not granted despite reflection in Form 26AS, advance tax / SA tax credit missed, arithmetic error in computation, wrong PAN-AY mapping, double addition of the same income, or omission of a clearly admissible deduction claimed in the return. Issues requiring debate, fresh evidence or interpretation of law are outside Section 154 (T.S. Balaram, ITO v. Volkart Brothers (1971) 82 ITR 50 SC).
For returns processed under Section 143(1), CPC Bengaluru is the centralised processing authority. For scrutiny refunds under Section 143(3) / 147, the jurisdictional Assessing Officer issues the refund order (ITNS-150) which is then transmitted to CPC for PFMS disbursement. Appellate refunds (CIT(A) / ITAT) similarly route through the AO and CPC.
