Parents Got ITR Refund in Just 3 Hours: Son’s Post Praising Income Tax Department Goes Viral
In a recent case, an individual shared on social media how fast the Income Tax Department processed his parents‘ returns. He said he filed Income Tax Returns (ITRs) for his retired mother and father around 1 PM, and by 4 PM the same day, both returns were processed, and the refund amounts were also credited to their bank accounts. He called it a “miracle“. The individual is Prof. A D Vyas, who also posted screenshots of the refund updates and confirmation messages as proof of this quick process.
The user expressed appreciation for the work of the Income Tax department and praised their efficiency, and gave credit to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He tagged them and wrote, “Hats off to a super-efficient team of #IncomeTax under the great leadership of Hon. Min @nsitharaman Mam, @nsitharamanoffc, thanks @narendramodi ji. Yes, this is New India, #ModiHaintoMumkinHai”.
This post quickly grabbed attention online, with many people appreciating the quick process. The Income Tax Department also responded warmly, saying, “Glad to hear that. Thank you for the acknowledgement.”
The Income Tax Department said that the process of issuing a refund only starts after the taxpayer has e-verified their return. Normally, it takes about 4 to 5 weeks for the refund to be credited to the taxpayer’s bank account. If the refund is not received within this period, the taxpayer is advised to check their email for any communication from the IT Department.
