ITR Refund Stuck? Here's Who to Contact and How to Resolve Delays

• Many taxpayers face ITR refund delays due to mismatches or doubtful deduction claims, leading to notices.
• Check your e-filing portal status: 'Processed with Refund Due' means approved but not transferred; 'Refund Failed' indicates a bank issue.
• Contact CPC Bengaluru for processing delays using their toll-free numbers or direct lines.
• If 'Refund Paid' but not received, contact SBI, the official refund banker, via their toll-free number or email.
• For withheld refunds due to scrutiny or Section 245 adjustments, reach out to your Jurisdictional Assessing Officer; use e-Grievance for complaints.

Why It Matters: Understand ITR refund statuses and contact the correct authorities like CPC, SBI, or AO to resolve delays.
