Income tax refund statys: Your refund may be delayed if revised return not filed by December 31, 2025 deadline - here's why
Income tax refund status: The Income Tax Department
has stepped up scrutiny for income tax returns and
several taxpayers have not received their income tax
refunds this year. The delay in tax refunds is a result of
greater vigilance on tax deductions and exemptions
that have been claimed by taxpayers in their tax filing.
Ahead of the December 31, 2025 deadline for filing an updated or belated return, the Income Tax Department has also launched a NUDGE (Non-intrusive Usage of Data to Guide and Enable) campaign, urging taxpayers to file updated tax returns since their exemptions, deduction and refund claims have been found to be ineligible.
