Your return comes filled in
Your employer and your bank report what they paid you. The portal puts those figures into your return. Your job is to check them.
- Salary comes from the Form 16 your employer filed
- Interest and dividends come from your bank's reports in AIS
- Tax already cut comes from Form 26AS
- A wrong figure? Give feedback in AIS, then file your correct figure
New or old regime
Where your refund is
What happens between filing your return and the refund reaching your bank.
Pre-validate your account on the portal, then ask for a refund reissue. A reissue takes 7 to 10 days.
Got a notice?
Most are routine. Check that it is real, read what it asks, and reply by the date on it. You reply on the portal; there is no office to visit.
