Check Your Income Tax Refund Status Online[Indian Websites]
Its always a painful thing to wait for the income tax refund, if we happen to invest more than what is required. Say for example, few of us would go for donation or charity which comes under 80G. Now a days 80G is not considered for Income Tax(IT) deductions in many of the Software service companies. Hence we have to claim tax refund for 80G related only when we file our IT returns for that financial year. So this becomes an excess money which would be returned by the IT department in the next financial year.
Checking The Refund Status
If you happened to pay more tax and waiting for the refund, Income Tax Departement of India has a website that provides the status of tax refunds. To know the status, point your web browser to https://tin.tin.nsdl.com/oltas/refundstatuslogin.html, enter your 10 digit PAN ID and select the financial year for which you want to the refuntd status.
Modes of Refund Payments
If you had opted for Electronic Clearing Service(ECS) mode of payment, your refund amount would be directly credited in your bank account details provided at the time of filing your IT returns. Otherwise you would receive a State Bank of India cheque.

@Mohan Kumar
Check if you need to get money returns from the government. If so,check with your auditor if he has filed your IT papers.
Check if you gave the correct assessment year
Note: If financial year is 2006-2007, then assessment year is 2007-2008

I want to find out if I was eligible to get a refund check from 2007
March 30th, 2009
Hi
I have done my filing for year 2008-09, but havent gotten my refund yet of 5k.
when i check the websites for refund status, it says has not been submitted by assessing officer,
what does this mean ? that my taxes werent filed, or just not in the sites records. because i have the stamped receipt of the agent that i have to get refund back.

I get this error message for every single year for all 5 years. I have received a checque 4 yrs ago and nothing after that. My returns are filed in Kolkata –
Your assessing officer has not sent this refund to Refund Banker.

Hey, nice tips. I’ll buy a bottle of beer to the man from that forum who told me to go to your blog
April 9th, 2009
@Rochelle,
You have filed for the financial year 2008-2009 for which the refund would start only next year.So you need to wait till next year.Had the department guys started the process for your refund they would have updated the details in the site. I did file my papers for the 2006-2007 during june 2007 and I got my refund only in 2008 August for which I was able to check the status.
April 9th, 2009
@Prakash,
The service has been extended to Kolkata only from September 30, 2007. If you had to get any refund for 2007 – 2008 financial year, hopefully you should be able to see the details in the site.
April 9th, 2009
ohh ok. Thank you Suganya. If you have the dates for other cities too, probably other people might find it important.

This is really very useful information. Most of them don’t know this URL. So, if they put this URL in end of Income-Tax Acknowledgement form. It is easy to track the tax-refund people.

My AY 2007-2008 refund status shows like this : Unable to credit refund as the account description provided by you is incorrect
and below note says: In case your electronic refund (ECS) is not credited to your account please contact your Assessing Officer and provide the correct MICR code and account number where credit is to be effected. The Assessing Officer will ask State Bank of India to send a fresh refund cheque to you.
I have got the MICR code for my bank account with me, but, I don’t know as to how to reach the Assessing Officer
Could you please help on this?
Many thanks,
Thandapani

I had to receive income tax refund of 25K. I checked on the link mentioned and it says Your assessing officer has not sent this refund to Refund Banker. My wife who has received refund 2 months back , has same status shown.How do i get my money back?
September 3rd, 2009
@Asha,
You cannot change the address that you gave when filing IT returns. Did you opt for ECS or cheque ? If its a cheque, then you can ask one of your colleagues to let you know once they receive the cheque through post. Else you don’t have to worry about this as the amount will be credited in your account directly.
September 8th, 2009
Hi Suganya,
Thanks a lot for your reply.I have opted for cheque.
Would cheques be send through normal post or registered post..any idea?

I live in the USA but I have income in India and file my returns every year. For the AY 2008-2009 I filed my retuns and was to get a refund. I entered my Bank Info (State Bank of India) in the form, however I did not receive the refund for a long time. You site pointed me to the TIN status page. Thank you for taking the effort.
The curious situation is, the status says: Check returned as door was locked. Obviously, we do not live there any more and the filing I did included my USA address (since I am an NRI). I provided my Bank account for EFT, but they sent a check. Is that not wierd? The TIN site mentions, contacting the Assesing Officer. Why? Who? Where? How?
I am surprised that the EFT does guarantee the refunds to come to your account. Whoa.
Well if you do know some ways around it, please do post / mail me.
Thank you.

I am also trying to get the status of my 2009-2010 refund. I keep getting the message “Your assessing officer has not sent this refund to Refund Banker.”. I do not even know when I should expect it. I hear that the if the refund is delayed, then the IT department is supposed to give an interest of 18%.
