I had mentioned my bank account number in the ITR form. My question is will i really get the refund money from the government? Is there any body who got refund money from the Indian income tax department?

• Answer:

  It is true if have filed return of income correctly and claimed refund as excess tax paid by you, you will get tax refund. But it generally takes some time. Income Tax department is gearing up to issue refund speedly. You will appreciate to know that I filed my income Tax retunr for the financial year 2008-09 within due date online and have got my refund in the month of November 2010. We are expecting return filed offline will also become speedier after some time. Till than may approach ITO under whose jurisdiction your return fall to know the status of your return. Sometime due to some deficiancy in return filed refund is not processed and department staff do not even inform this deficiancy. Therefore it is necessary to contact ITO
