Why your income tax refund is delayed? In how many days can you get it after filing ITR? Here's how to check refund status

Income tax refund: Taxpayers await income tax refunds after the September 16, 2025, deadline. E-verification starts the refund process. Refunds usually arrive in four to five weeks. Delays occur due to data mismatches or incorrect bank details. Check refund status on the Income Tax portal. Ensure bank details are pre-validated and PAN is linked to Aadhaar. There is no upper limit on refunds.
