If a taxpayer’s taxes have been paid in excess of his actual tax burden, he is entitled to a refund. When a taxpayer seeks a refund on his tax return, the tax department processes it, and the taxpayer receives an intimation from CPC under Section 143(1), which confirms the amount of refund the taxpayer is entitled to.
There are two ways to check on the status of your income tax refund.
- The new income tax website
- The NSDL’s official webpage

An income tax is a tax levied on individuals or businesses (taxpayers) based on their earnings or profits (commonly called taxable income). In most cases, income tax is calculated as the product of a tax rate and taxable income. Tax rates may differ depending on the taxpayer’s kind or qualities, as well as the sort of income.
The ‘Refund Banker system’ streamlines the transfer of refunds earned by CPC-Bangalore/processing AO’s of income tax returns to the State Bank of India’s CMP branch (Refund Banker) for distribution to taxpayers.
