What is a Tax refund?

  • When the tax liability or the amount of tax to be paid is less than the amount of taxes paid by the individual.
  • For salaried individuals, it is possible  that the company deducted excess tax because you did not declare any of your investments to the company. In such a case, a tax refund may be helpful.

  3. The income tax department will send it you by post to the address which you have mention on Income Tax Return.
  4. Tax refund can also be debited directly to your bank account which needs to be mentioned on the tax return. (It is mandatory to mention Bank Account No., Micr Code of Bank,) other wise you will not get your refund.
