Receiving an income tax refund is often the final step in the tax filing process. Taxpayers may receive a refund when they have paid more tax than required through TDS, advance tax, or self-assessment tax. Many taxpayers wait weeks or even months due to income tax refund delays. During this period, they may not know whether the refund has been issued or is still under review. In some cases, it may have been delayed due to a verification, bank account, or return-related issue
