New Delhi: If you were waiting for your Income Tax Return (ITR) refund, there is good news. The Income Tax Department has said that the refunds that were delayed have now been processed and released.
Reason Behind the Delay
The department explained that the delays happened because of automated validation checks and extra risk-assessment filters in the system.
These checks were added to make sure that fake or incorrect refund claims are not approved by mistake.
Thank you so much @nsitharaman after your reply my ITR was processed and I got the refund which was much needed for me. Hope ITRs of others also are processed soon.
