Income Tax Refund Application Process in IRIS:
Taxpayers can now smoothly apply for an income tax refund through their IRIS account, provided that their IBAN is correctly updated in their profile or through Form 181 (Modification Form).
Once your IBAN is updated, the Refund Application (Form 170) becomes available in your IRIS portal. Follow these steps:
Open Form 170 β Refund Application in IRIS.
Enter the refund amount exactly as mentioned in your Annual Income Tax Return under the refundable tax section.
Attach all relevant Withholding Tax Certificates / CPRs that support your refund claim.
Submit the application through IRIS for verification.
The Income Tax Officer (ITO) will verify the withholding details and reconcile them with your income tax return. After verification, the ITO will issue a Refund Order under section 170(4).
Once the refund order is approved, the refund amount is directly transferred to your updated IBAN (Primary Account)βtypically in the following month after the refund order is issued.
This streamlined process ensures transparency and timely transfer of refunds to taxpayers.
