Check ITR Refund Status Online After Filing
Taxpayers who filed income‑tax returns for the 2025‑26 financial year can now verify why refunds are delayed by using the government’s online portal.

The deadline to raise queries is 31 August, and the volume of returns filed has risen to 7.3 crore this cycle, increasing processing pressure.

- The dashboard displays the processing stage, any pending verification, and the projected refund credit date.
Key dates and tips
