ITR Refund Delay: 75 Lakh Returns Abhi Tak Process Nahi Huye – Samajhiye Pura Matter
Agar aapka ITR refund delay ho raha hai, toh tension lene ki zarurat nahi. Pehle samajh lete hain ki taxpayers kaise divide hote hain aur unka filing process kyu alag hota hai.
2 Categories of Taxpayers: Audit vs Non-Audit
Income Tax Return filing mein taxpayers ko do bade groups mein rakha jata hai:
1. Audit Category Taxpayers
Is group mein woh log aate hain:
Businesses jinki turnover limit se upar hai
Professionals jinki gross receipts audit limit cross karti hain
Individuals ya businesses jo presumptive taxation se bahar aa rahe hain
Koi bhi jisko Income Tax Act ke hisaab se CA se audit karwana mandatory hota hai
Small businesses/professionals jinka turnover audit limit ke niche hai
Inke liye audit nahi hota, process kaafi simple hoti hai.
ITR Filing Timelines 2025: Iss Baar Kya Hua?
Non-Audit Category
Original due date: 31 July 2025
Extended twice: Final date 16 September 2025
Total returns filed: 7.53 crore
Audit Category
Tax Audit Report: 10 November 2025
ITR filing due date: 10 December 2025
Dono deadlines ab khatam ho chuki hain.
Last 3 months me lagbhag 90 lakh additional returns aaye—majority audit + belated ITR.
Total ITR count: 8.43 crore
Refund Delay Kyun Ho Raha Hai? CBDT Chief Ne Bataya Reason
Bahut saare taxpayers ko quick refund ki expectation thi, lekin iss saal processing slow chal rahi hai. CBDT Chairman Ravi Agrawal ke hisaab se main reason suspicious claims ki extra checking hai.
Refund Delay ke Important Reasons
1. High-Value Deductions Red Flag
System ab automatically detect karta hai:
Unusually high deductions
Mismatched information
Income pattern ke anomalies
Aise returns manual checking ki wajah se hold ho jate hain.
2. Wrong ya Excessive Claims
Department un cases ko verify karta hai jahan taxpayers:
Eligible nahi hone par bhi deduction claim kar dete hain
Allowed limit se zyada claim kar lete hain
Ye bhi refund delay ka major reason hai.
3. 26AS/AIS Mismatch
Agar aapke:
Income,
TDS,
Interest details 26AS ya AIS se match nahi karte, toh system return ko process nahi karta.
4. Tax Department ki Communication
Kai taxpayers ko:
Revised return file karne,
Incorrect info correct karne ka message ya notice aaya hai.
Jab tak correction nahi hoti, refund ruk jata hai.
5. Bank Account Issues
Common reasons:
Account pre-validated nahi
Galat account number
Wrong IFSC
Refund issue hi nahi hota.
December 10 Deadline Gone – Ab Kya Options Bache?
1. Belated Return File Karna
Deadline ke baad bhi file kar sakte ho, lekin:
Late fee (Section 234F): Rs 5,000
Income below 5 lakh: Rs 1,000
Kuch benefits lose ho jate hain (like carry forward of losses).
2. Updated Return (Within 24 Months)
Section 139(8A) ke under updated return file kar sakte ho, but:
Extra tax: 25%–50%
Useful jab aapne income miss kar di ho.
3. ITR File Nahi Kiya Toh?
Agar bilkul ignore karo:
Interest & penalties badhte rahenge
Notices aa sakte hain
Refund future me claim nahi kar paoge
Refund Kab Tak Milega?
Exact date announce nahi ki gayi hai, lekin CBDT ne kaha:
Clean & error-free returns ko jaldi refund milega
Jisme mismatch ya suspicious claim hoga, uski manual checking zyada time legi
