Delay in refund

You may have to contact your assessing officer in case there is no asessment done for your tax returns and there is an income tax refund. There are two modes of refund; one is ECS and another is paper.

If taxpayers who have opted for paper, the refund will be disbursed by cheque or demand draft. The refund instrument will be dispatched by speed post by CMP SBI at the postal address mentioned in the income return.
