Missed Revised ITR Deadline? Still Claim Your Income Tax Refund!

• Many taxpayers are confused about Income Tax refunds after the December 31 deadline for revised and belated returns passed.
• Tax experts confirm refunds are not stuck; the change of year doesn't prevent receiving due amounts.
• If your ITR is processed with errors (e.g., less refund, TDS mismatch), file a rectification request under Section 154.
• The Section 154 rectification facility is available on the Income Tax e-filing portal even after the December 31 deadline.
• If your return is 'under processing', wait; the CPC has 9 months from the financial year end to process it.

Why It Matters: Taxpayers can still claim Income Tax refunds via Section 154 rectification or by waiting for CPC processing.
