If you’ve filed ITR-1, ITR-2, or ITR-3, you might be wondering when your refund will arrive.
The timing of your refund depends on the accuracy of the details you provided in your Income Tax Return (ITR).
Errors in your ITR or incorrect bank details can delay or even reject your refund.
Additionally, larger refund amounts may be subject to additional verification, which can also extend the processing time.
