  1. Inactive or Missing Bank Account: Your refund may be delayed if the account isn’t linked or verified.
  2. Transfer to Unused Account: Refunds might be sent to a dormant or infrequently used account.
  3. Filing Errors: Mistakes in TDS, deduction claims, or omitting income can also hold up refunds.

How to Add or Update Your Bank Account:

To add a new account:

  1. Log in to the Income Tax Portal.
  2. Navigate to your profile.
  3. Add your bank account and complete validation.

To update an existing account:

  1. Log in to your profile on the portal.
  2. Select an already linked account.
  3. Update the details such as account number, IFSC code, and account type.
  4. Validate the changes.

Other Possible Filing Mistakes:

  • TDS Mismatch: Differences between declared TDS and Form 26AS.
  • Incorrect Deduction Claims: Overstating exemptions like under Sections 80C or 80D.
  • Omitted Income: Missing out on interest, capital gains, or freelance income.
  • Manual Errors: Mistakes in calculations or data entry.

Stay ahead by reviewing your ITR and bank details to ensure timely refunds.
