How to check ITR status in new Income Tax Portal

 Check here the step-by-step guide to know your Income Tax Refund status in new Income Tax Portal.

An income tax refund is due to a taxpayer if he has paid taxes higher when compared to his actual tax liability. When a taxpayer claims a refund in his return of income, the tax department processes such a return and the taxpayer would receive an intimation from CPC under Section 143(1) which will confirm the quantum of refund that the taxpayer is eligible to receive.

There are two ways one can track their income tax refund status.

• The new income tax portal
• The NSDL website
