IT Dept's Refund Delay Text: What 'Risk Management' Means for Your ITR

• Income Tax Department is sending texts/emails about pending refunds under 'risk management process', asking taxpayers to revise ITR by Dec 31.
• Alerts lack specifics, causing confusion; many report no follow-up emails or 'pending action' option on the portal.
• Tax professionals link alerts to high refunds, ITR-Form 16 mismatches, or sensitive deductions like political donations.
• Experts advise not to panic if ITR is correct; monitor the portal for future queries.
• If errors found, revise ITR before December 31 to avoid additional tax liability or penalties.

Why It Matters: IT Dept's 'risk management' alerts for refunds require taxpayers to review ITRs, revise if needed by Dec 31.
