Refund Delay Checker — common questions
How long does a refund take?
Most refunds are issued within a few weeks of e-verification once the return is processed. Delays usually come from a mismatch, an unvalidated bank account, or an adjustment against old demand.
Is interest paid on a late refund?
Yes, interest under Section 244A is generally paid at 0.5% per month on refunds.
