If you have filed your income tax return on time and e-verified it promptly afterwards, there are higher chances of receiving your refund on time. This is because before releasing the refund, the income tax department scrutinises your filed ITR to ensure that you have not left out any income or claimed any incorrect deductions. After checking it from every angle, they process your ITR for the refund. If there is a delay in your refund, the income tax department pays your refund along with interest. The department should process the income tax return within 9 months from the end of the financial year
