Income Tax Refunds – An Overview
An Income Tax Refund is the extra tax amount paid by taxpayers that can be claimed back from the Income Tax Department. If you have paid more tax through TDS, advance tax, or self-assessment tax than your actual liability, you are eligible for a refund. Filing your Income Tax Return (ITR) accurately and on time ensures a smooth refund process with direct bank credit.
